You could drill/screw into that beast to your hearts content and never compromise it

@rreanor how about a please and a thank you. :rolleyes:

BCO's will (not always) expect a U Value calc to prove whatever spec has been mooted is being installed is up to standards, its not their job to do your donkey work.

Is that not an outlet pipe in the bottom of the first pic?

£1000 sounds extreme, have you tried a few other suppliers? You would use frame extenders to fill the gap, normally available from the same place you buy the window so as to ensure compatibility.

As for the windows you'll likely have to suck it up and do what he wants, unless you want to go through an appeal, precedents don't really exist in planning any more. The Head Of Planning at your Local Authority can overrule the CO but you're unlikely to be able to communicate directly with...

You buy a standard panel, remove the end vertical battens from each side, trim the laps down as necessary and then reattach the end battens. Standard heights are 3ft, are you sure yours isnt 3ft? Wickes are quite reasonable for delivery charges, £4 I think.

I have the Lidl one, invariably it's slightly too short to be used, only used it a couple of times maybe and as mentioned above it's a bit fickle to use, usually a couple of attempts need to be made to clamp it up tight as it tends to wander a tiny bit in doing so.

Measure it, it's probably 6mm or it might be 8mm.

'T nut for wood' eBay, Amazon etc , think I've seen them on the shelf in B&Q.

Well I wouldn't do that yet, as soon as the OP contacts the local authority any indemnitys won't be permitted.

I bought some non genuine ones for a Megane once, about a month later one of them failed and the glass shattered when the boot slammed shut, I bought genuine ones after that.

You would need a lintel or be able to prove it doesn't need one.

I've edited my post to make it clearer.

You'll want polished edges or the sawn edges will have the cut marks and will look opaque.

Got some photos?

Friends, family, neighhbours recommendations, Facebook Local Group recommendations etc. Definitely not Checkatrade or Mybuilder type websites.

Oh no, last thing you should be doing to find someone.
