The bonding sticks to the brick and the screws cannot come out the bonding when gone off. Plus you can level the window boards with a little tap. The window boards are 4m in my conservatory and are wood grain affect. There was no set pattern to the screws, I marked where the brickwork was, then...

Put a rows of screws with about 10mm/15mm sticking out of the underneath of dura board. Then use bonding plaster to stick down on to dwarf wall. Then board as normal. This is how all my window boards are put down, no problem in conservatory with heat etc.

Without a picture i would be guessing. All upvc window are made to allow water(rain) run through them. From the frame to the casements, the window frames will be concealed or face drained(plastic caps on outer frame, just above sill). With the weatherstrip fitted, it should stop some water. Is...

Put gaffa tape on frame to stop scratches and fill with sand and cement. If any glue left after removal of gaffa tape use cream cleaner.

Good company for parts . http://www.dgsgroup.co.uk/catalogues/index.html

If using decorators caulk, which i would. Use a putty knife to get off surplus, then use a damp sponge to clean off. Looks a lot better.

From a personal point, i use pledge to spray all locking mechanism's and hinges. I did use wd40/silicon spray but the smell around the house after use put me off.

You put top and bottom beads first, then the sides. Then put the white back rubber in, using soapy water, if you find hard to push back in. Take care not to force the glass if caught on packers!!!. Pack in opposite corners if catching on bottom or top.

When you say catching, whats catchimg. Locking mechanism or frame and lock. changing handle's should have made no difference. What style of opener is the window. Is it a top opener or side opener and you have pushed/pulled down on the handles. Gentle tap back up bottom of casement with a rubber...

I would chop of the render and measure top,middle and bottom, then deduct 10 mm of the size in tightest place. Do the same measuring from head of the frame to the sill, same again deduct 10mm. Measure internal plaster in same way as outside. Bathrooms and kitchens worse place for this. Where...

Can you not go back to window frame supplier and get some frame add on's. Depends on which window you have to the sizes you can get. Most do a 20mm and 40mm frame extension/add on's.

You've not got many options because of how your house is built. Drilling on hammer or not makes little difference. when drilling there is a hole a lot bigger than the drill bit plus it will end up bent, twisted and the end glowing red lol. Vibration bouncing off the stones. You could try and...

There is no best way of fixing the frame, because the building is made up of small stone's. I would glaze and wedge frame into place and use fixing foam then remove wedges and foam where missing. Repair/patch render, sometimes the only places you will get a fixing is the head and cill. The only...

It can be done but at a cost and a lot of hassle. First depends on the frames, how brittle the pvc has gone, gasket/seals/back rubber dried out. Glass size, somewhere to lay glasss flat. There's the glazing firm to re-seal the glass unit, new glazing spacer. There is is a cold pour way to...

Only if you take the glass units apart
