Your smug attempt at sarcasm wasn't required for me to get a helpful response from crank39. I can now move forward and get second quotes or a tub of filler for the existing timber windows. Why only 3 quotes when you could get 5, 6, 10 and waste the time of all but one tradesman?

Yes, a totally unnecessary and unhelpful response that Robin hoped to make part of his points scoring contribution to this forum.:giggle: Personally I prefer to get a single quote from a reputable installer, who in this case was recommended and we've used before, prior to wasting the time of...

Yes, I think you've pretty much nailed the spec there? Internal bars I believe? Having found the invoice for windows we had fitted 10 years ago I've clearly lost touch with prices!:( Probably influenced by Homes under the Hammer where the purchaser can roof repair, install heating, bathroom...

Thankyou, yes 1/4 is about right, but in this case the bars are more expensive than the DG units themselves! Is £1000 per window the ball park figure we can expect?

?

We've been looking to replace 2 x wooden casement windows about 900mm wide and 1300mm high with new pastel or wood coloured UPVC. One opening, ground floor. It's a long time since we've bought windows and have had a price just shy of £2,000 to supply and fit which may or may not be excessive...

We currently have a single glazed secondary panel screwed to the inner frame of a wooden sash window. With an increase in traffic noise it's no longer up to the job and I'm considering replacing with a double glazed panel but these don't seem to be readily available? We can get sliding units...

Not a direct answer to your question but a soapy mix of washing up liquid or a de-greasing fluid can apparently be used to remove easy jointing should you need to.

I understand acetone can soften and harm some plastics as well? I've already tried that and yes, the bigger half a mm spots come off but others don't, hence the nail brush, a very mild scourer, soapy water, 'Elbow Grease' the spray stuff etc., One chair has a thousand tiny spots on the seat...

I have some retro Schreiber dining chairs with black plastic/vinyl seat and back pads. Spares that we drag out at Christmas which were acquired over 20 years ago. On some of them there is roller overspray, white emulsion I presumed, dozens of 1mm spots that I thought would come off with a bit of...

....and your point is?

I'll stand corrected but I think he was making the point that based on averages, there should be more Muslim Nobel Prize Winners?

Yes, but there's a marked difference when one talks about percentages, reasons etc., and Zero! There are for instance, very few Eskimo 100m runners and you don't have to be a scientist to work out why ;)

There's been 9 Muslim winners of the Nobel Peace prize, the latest in 2023.

I've just cleaned a block paving area with exactly the same problem and used a Nilfisk pressure washer with their Turbo Nozzle which cuts right through the weeds. You will have to think about re-sanding to replace any that's been blown out of the joints. PS: We also blew over them with some...
