They work with both traditional wooden- or metal-framed products and UPVC units. The windows and doors may be single or double glazed units or may be in the form of secondary glazing fitted inside existing windows. The work is usually carried out by a team, often consisting of two people - a fitter and a ‘mate’. A typical window fitting job involves removing old windows and doors with hand and power tools, and measuring up the space(s) to be fitted. Although fittings can be made-to-measure, commonly, standard-sized glazing units are used, so it may be necessary to slightly enlarge or reduce the space around the fitment. Fitters fix the windows and doors in place, ensuring they are level and secure.

They then make the fitting weathertight by using sealants. All leftover materials are disposed of and any damage to indoor plasterwork is made good. The work may also involve fitting weatherboarding. Some fitters with extensive experience of complex work may be able to work on the repair and replacement of windows and glazing on historical buildings or monuments. Fitters may also work in the manufacture of glazing units. For details, see Glazier. Window fitters normally work a 39-hour week, Monday to Friday, although overtime may be available to meet deadlines. They work on the inside and outside of buildings. To reach upper storeys, fitters work off ladders or scaffold, and work in all weather conditions. The work can be strenuous with some heavy lifting. Travel to and from sites will be necessary, so a driving licence may be needed.To be a window fitter you should: Window fitters work throughout the country.
