- Stage 01
Survey
Everything is measured before anything is made. The consultation narrows the range; the survey fixes the sizes.
- Consultation
In the Ealing showroom or at home within 120 road miles. Full-size operating samples, not brochures. The shortlist comes down to two or three options.
- Site survey
Every opening measured by the surveyor who will hand the job to the workshop. Structural openings, thresholds, lintels and access checked and recorded.
- Written quote
One schedule, every unit sized and specified, in 3 working days. Nothing changes after this unless you change it.
- Stage 02
Make
Sharp's own workshops. Glazing in one, steel in the other, both working to the survey sheet and one finish reference.
- Setting out
Drawings issued for approval where the job needs them, including kerb and builder's-work drawings for the roof and any structural openings.
- Manufacture
Four to five weeks. Aluminium, timber and uPVC cut, welded or jointed and glazed; steel cut, mitred, welded, galvanised and coated.
- Checked before it leaves
Every unit operated, measured against the survey and finish-checked in the workshop, so the fitting day is a fitting day.
- Stage 03
Fit
Sharp fitters only. The same company that measured and made it stands behind it.
- Installation
Old units out and new ones in, weathertight the same day. Openings made good, thresholds sealed, site cleared each evening.
- Handover
Every unit demonstrated, hardware explained, snags listed and closed. Guarantee and care sheet issued on the day.
- Aftercare
10-year guarantee. Adjustments, hardware and glass units handled by the same team that fitted them, from the same office.
