Hi all, Could I trouble any expert builders for a bit of advice please. Got an early 70’s side conservatory xtension. We use as an office. It’s half brick and half glazed. I got some double glazed Crittall for one end for light. I then intend to infill whete the glass segments are……...

I’m going to take my chance with what building control say. If I gotta sling them, then so be it…. It’s worth a try!

You haven’t read all the thread. It looks sounds. If you can enlighten me with anything else then I’d be grateful, but anymore pseudo dick Emery jokes will be ignored (ps I liked dick emery, but poor impersonators won’t be tolerated) Quite honestly, I’m really suprised at all the...
