Laminate flooring will be fitted (about 10mm with underlay). It will block about 10mm of the bottom of the side window glass. The fitter has called again, he has said he can replace the side windows so they are smaller and the floor wont cover the trim that is use to replace the glass. And for...

Thanks for the advise. The fitter measured for the doors. I have emailed the manufacturer to see what they think.

It is about 4cm too low. The fitter has come today, he has said he can put a trim at the bottom to hide the fact the floor will be higher than the bottom of the glass. When I level the floor into the cavity it will cover the trim that is used to remove the glass. Would this invalidate my...

Thanks, i will keep you posted!

A slop/step was never agreed. Do you think i should keep hold of the money until this is sorted (i have only paid 25% so far). The ideal solution would be for the door to be taken out, a course of bricks put back in and a new door fitted in the new opening. I don't think the installer is going...

Thanks very much for your reply Ronnie. I will contact the fitter and ask what he thinks. I have a feeling he may just say that i should lower the height of the cavity so there is a small step down. Would you say this is acceptable? I want to avoid this if possible. Why could i have problems...

Hello All, Just wondering if I could install a log burner and bring out the flu via the small pitched roof at the top of the ground floor? Would make for a simple install. Thanks, Dan.

Thanks for the replies everyone. There are no fixings in the head (the top is a steal lintel - completely horizontal) Don't think the frame is too tight, I saw it going in. The fitters (also supplied) have agreed to come out this week, I will update after. Cheers again, Dan.

Hello, I recently had french doors installed with side windows and a top window. I noticed that after opening both doors they are difficult to close. On closer inspection, it appears that the strip of frame above the doors (marked red in the below photo) and under the top window is not...
