Ours come round after completion, literally there 1min, put a meter on the glass and off they go. Depends on the building inspector, we take photos of each stage incase there are any issues, some delve into everything.
Ideally you want a builder to create the opening and then hope he's competent to install the window
Or
a window company who are hopefully competent on the building element and then fit the window.
Regardless of who you use it will require to go through building control. (£150-£200)
As long...
Bespoke timber products all come at price, yes they look nice, but at the end of the day the financial outlay doesn't add up for most customers.
Personally I'd opt for timber but the cost and further mainatence/painting costs would be an issue

I don't know of any composite door suppliers who supply the door slab and frame separate. The frame looks new so I imagine its came in one.

As DIY said, the mark has been made by whoever installed the Yale lock, it's been secured slightly off center and then moved round (while still tight) into position. What door is it?
Egde and s706 are standard profiles on offer from Rehau, to joe public the edge system will be slightly dearer by approx 10%. The Thermo system is again the edge and s706 system but an added foam section is then added to the profile, this then brings the u value down to 0.8-0.9 when used with...

2. Will certify the installation ie fensa or Certass, (this will be free, an insurance backed guarantee will also be issued)
3. Guarantees are issued on...
My pet hate is builders fitting windows and doors, don't get me wrong there are many builders capable of doing a decent job but I've see it all too often with the bad fitting exceeding the good.
If you know what your doing tilt n turns are straight forward, as long as the window is in level...
Possom, your thorough questioning makes me think you've done your homework on the installation side as well, please bare in mind poor fitting and/or finishing off will reduce your Veka/Rehau install to nothing better than a DIY job from Wickes/B&Q
