I got a window guy to install a new wider window. I told him I wanted him to extend the solider course, match the mortar colour as best as possible and too tooth in the side brickwork.

He’s pretty munched managed the first two ( though won’t know until it’s dry), but he’s angled grinded the side.

Now I’m thinking do I accept this and use some trim or something or ask him to redo it all?

I also noticed the cill looks a bit odd as it’s doesn’t overhang the hole?

How does it look?

That mastic! :LOL:

If you asked for toothing then you should get it. But it's generally a crap job, so what mess is he going to make of the toothing?

If you do accept it, don't forget to deduct the cost of the toothing.
 
Well I guess he’s going to have to take the window out and start again? He’s toothed out the bit below. It was originally a doorway.
 
Guessing that's foam waiting for a trim. Has he tried to smear dyed "render" on it - doesn't even seem to have kept the ends of the full bricks on show.

I don’t think there anything on it at all, he’s just run the grinder down. I think he’s also lost the ends of the full bricks this is what happens when you leave stuff to the professionals!
He moved the day and I was working, normally I’m on site to watch. I was very clear with my instructions. He’s taking a window out tomorrow and bricking up on another wall. Again I’m not here but I talked it though with him yesterday.
Remove soldier course and tooth in match as best as possible mortar joints etc. not exactly difficult.
