Start here
Start with your project location, photographs, approximate dimensions and the result you want. JCB will review the requirements and confirm whether a site inspection or further detail is needed before quoting.
Describe the opening and the result you want
A fixed window, sliding patio door and folding door set require different layouts, glazing and hardware. Explain how the opening will be used and what you want to achieve before settling on a configuration.
The glass and frame finish are part of the project specification. Privacy, solar control and other glazing requirements should be discussed for the room and application. If you have drawings, a window schedule or a reference image, include them with your enquiry.
- Dimensions and quantities
- Record approximate width, height and number of each opening. Label repeated window or door types on your plan.
- Configuration
- State which panels should open, how they should move and where fixed glazed sections are needed.
- Glass, finish and hardware
- Share any preferences for glazing, frame colour, handles and locks. Tell JCB if you need guidance on the choices.
Confirm whether a site inspection is needed
Photographs and approximate dimensions are useful starting information. JCB will review what you send and establish whether the requirements are detailed enough for a quotation or whether an inspection or further information is needed.
Existing frames, supporting surfaces, access and the condition of the opening may need a closer look. An enquiry or a preliminary discussion does not confirm the final specification or amount. The quotation follows the assessment of the actual project requirements.
Agree the work at the property
Confirm whether the request is for supply only or manufacture and installation. For replacement work, identify who removes the old frame and glass, clears the material and prepares the opening.
Plaster repairs, painting, tiles, structural alterations and other building work should be identified where relevant. Access to upper floors, occupied premises or restricted work areas also belongs in the brief. Confirm which responsibilities sit with JCB and which require other trades.
Review the project-specific quotation
Ask JCB to clarify anything that differs from the intended brief before approving the work. Final manufacture dimensions and site readiness need confirmation in the agreed sequence.
- Opening schedule
- Check each size, quantity and product configuration.
- Specification
- Confirm the frame finish, glass and hardware described.
- Inclusions
- Check delivery, installation, removal, preparation and finishing responsibilities.
- Project arrangements
- Confirm VAT treatment, payment stages, quote validity, timing and applicable product and workmanship terms.
You can start before every detail is decided
Send the project area, available photographs and a short description of the result you want. A labelled plan or simple schedule helps connect each opening to the appropriate product.
Say whether this is a new build, replacement or repair. If glass and finishes are undecided, explain your priorities for privacy, daylight and appearance. JCB can use that brief to establish the next step.
Quotations are based on a site inspection or sufficiently detailed project requirements. The website does not publish fixed rates or standard project amounts.
