PREPARE WELL · KEEP THE DETAILS

Steel windows & doors.
Care beyond installation.

Use our project checklist to prepare for the survey, fitting and handover. Once installed, keep the product instructions close and follow the care guidance for your exact windows and doors.

A PRACTICAL PROJECT RECORD

From the first survey
to the final handover.

Keep each opening, responsibility and decision in one place. Use the checklist alongside your quotation and approved project documents.

DAY-TO-DAY CARE

Small checks.
The right approach.

Follow the schedule and methods applicable to the items ordered. Exposure, use and the product specification can affect the attention required.

Clean with compatible materials.

Use the cleaning method specified for your frame coating, glass and fittings. The steel manual describes gentle cleaning with water and a mild cleaning agent. Avoid abrasive pads, scraping or unapproved chemicals that could affect the finish, gaskets or sealants. Ask us if you are unsure about a product.

Protect the finish during other work.

Keep building dust, wet materials and decoration products away from the joinery. Agree suitable protection and the removal of protective films with your installer, following the applicable product instructions. Report accidental coating damage before attempting to cover or repair it.

Keep required outlets clear.

Observe accessible drainage openings and remove loose surface debris only where you can do so safely and in line with the care instructions. Keep ventilation paths clear. If you cannot identify an outlet, ask before applying sealant, paint or trim near it.

Look after moving parts and seals.

Follow the maintenance instructions for the exact hinges, locks, gaskets and other hardware supplied. Use only the specified compatible products and method. If an opening becomes difficult to use, stop forcing it and contact us; alignment and adjustment may need a competent installer.

Use safe access for every check.

Observe from a safe position and use the opening normally. Leave work at height, glass removal, fixing checks and hardware adjustments to a competent person with the appropriate access and instructions.

IF SOMETHING CHANGES

Tell us what
you can observe.

Contact MQ with your order or request reference and the room or item involved. A clear description helps us agree the next step; a symptom alone does not establish its cause.

Opening or locking

Which item is affected, what movement is difficult, when it began and whether the change was sudden or gradual.

Moisture or condensation

Whether it is on the room face, outside face or appears between the panes, plus the room, weather and when it occurs.

Draughts or water ingress

The location, wind or rain conditions and photographs taken from a safe position. Leave drainage paths unobstructed.

Glass, seals or finish

The item reference, affected area and a clear safe photograph. Describe any recent building, cleaning or decoration work.

If the opening appears unsafe

Stop using it, keep people clear and contact us. Take photographs or video only where safe; avoid moving damaged glass or dismantling components to investigate.

KEEP WITH YOUR PROJECT FILE

Clear information.
A clear next step.

Retain the product specification, care documents and applicable warranty terms. Manufacturer product cover and installation workmanship have separate terms. Contact us about an issue promptly so we can review the relevant information. Your statutory rights remain unaffected.
