New front door installation

    Hi All. Can I get your opinion on my front door installation? Not sure if I'm just being fussy or my expectations too high but the external finish in my opinion is poor enough. I've attached a couple of pictures below.

    The rest of the surround is pretty similar.

    Thanks

    You can’t silicone over wet cement so they will have to come back when it drys to finish silicone never pay before job is finished 100%

    Is there a quadrant moulding around the edge there? It's a bit difficult to see, but it almost looks like they've put the moulding in and then attempted to repair the render but made a complete mess of it, covering some of the moulding in the process. I certainly wouldn't be happy with that.

    We have a similar door, which was installed recently, picture of the relevant section attached.

    Some more pics

    Also realised tonight that there's a noticeable breeze in the lock side of the door and on both bottom corners of the threshold.

    Surely not normal

    I think that looks better than most retrofits..

    Clean and hover all the dust away after cleaning and painting, Then look at adjustment of the door to fit the seals.
    But there should be no noticable draughts.
