Hello all

Have to get certain walls plastered and windows replaced in a house I've moved into (Edwardian), just wondering what order it'd be easiest to finish the decorating.

So, double glazing first or plastering first?

Do the double glazing first; replacing the windows will almost certainly damage the plaster/render base on the window reveals which will then need remedial work
 
Windows 1st. The the plasterer can fill all the gaps round the windows and you want need any nasty looking 'decorative' trims to cover up the mess they'd make if installing the windows after plastering
