sliding doors gap to plastered wall

[James Stone]

Hello, just had our expensive sliding doors fitted by the window installer, who measured up and I organised independently from the builder. There are internal 2.5cm gaps to the sides of the plastered wall. The builder says the window company should supply mouldings to hide the gap. The window company says the walls should have been plastered after installation. Are the builders fobbing me off? They quoted for the windows, but I wanted to ensure we got the right look and finish, so I arranged the windows. The builders are charging % handling fee for the windows install and preparation. Surely, that includes finishing the plaster to a flush finish? Thanks for any advice

I am only a lowly decorator. I normally see the plastering done after the fitting.

In defence of the fitters, they often allow a gap to accommodate any discrepancies.
