Spray water onto the frame and anything else where you dont want to be cleaning excess foam off.....Once you have filled any gaps,spray foam with water again,as this will stop it expanding so much and will make it safe to touch without getting it all over your fingers...as its a nightmare to...

Funny shaped end is for driving the screw into the plastic without the need to drill a pilot hole first.and yes any stainless screw will do.

How long did you leave the door to dry before varnishing it...depending on what type of wood and the thickness of the door it can take 3 to 4 weeks for it to dry out fully. Even if it seems dry to the touch the middle of the wood could still be soaking wet,which if you paint or varnish too...

Don't remember saying I had installed new parquet floor.I think I said there was a new parquet floor in the dining room....you seem to read what you will into anything I post and then interpret that into what you think I might have said. MMM let me think.Inch battens .... so that would be a...

Thank you Ban-all-shed for your very detailed and informative reply....but maybe you should have read my post properly.....Nowhere did I put that I was planning to wire anything up....all I wanted to know was about 2.5 twin and earth and if the cable my friend gave me was suitable for a new ring...

U value and the like are all ok but the deciding factor for me would be noise...ever been in a conservatory when it's raining? Glass is much less noisy than poly...unless you are already deaf,go for glass :-)

Bleach and then a bit of bi carb and a stiff scrubbing brush will work a treat.

Countersink the holes very ,very slightly and then use stelmax...make sure its warm first as it will come out of the tube better. Make sure your hands are totally clean and only put a small amount in the hole as it dries really fast. Wet a finger and smooth over before it dries. Cut the...

Post some photos. If you are filling over rotten timber you need to use a wood hardener or you are wasting your time. It will be much easier to advise you if you post a few photos up first though

Having the sashes draught proofed will decrease the noise more than having thicker glass. Plus it will help with heating and dust and dirt coming through the gaps all around the windows. Quicker to do the draught proofing as well,as changing the glass will mean having to wait at least a week...
