Commercial Window Installation — Cherry Picker Access

Project Overview

An office building in Nottingham was having a run of outdated single-glazed windows replaced with modern double-glazed units to improve comfort and reduce heating costs. With the windows spread across an upper floor and no balcony access, a cherry picker was used to reach each opening from outside.

The Work

Our glazing team worked window by window from the cherry picker, minimising internal disruption:

• Positioned a cherry picker to give safe external access to each window opening
• Removed the existing single-glazed window units from each frame
• Installed new double-glazed units into the existing openings, checking for square and level
• Sealed all frame perimeters with weatherproof sealant to prevent draughts and water ingress
• Fitted new trims and beading to match the building's existing external appearance
• Cleaned all new glazing on completion of each window

Results

The office building now benefits from improved comfort and reduced energy loss through its windows:

• A full run of upgraded double-glazed windows across the affected elevation
• Improved thermal comfort and reduced draughts reported by building occupants
• No internal scaffold or access equipment required inside the office
• Completed in 5 working days using external cherry picker access only
