I'm in the same process at the moment, but trying to decide between Crittall style aluminium French doors with transomes and those with the duplex bars and astragals. I think it will come down to price and ease of fitting.

We are planning to convert a dining room window into French doors and I really like the Crittall style aluminium French doors. A builder friend will do the building work, but has never fitted aluminium doors before. Money is tight so my preferred option would be to fit them ourselves, but how...

We've just installed a new Mira Coda Pro ERD shower as part of our bathroom re-fit. Our oil fed boiler is a Worcester Greenstar. I was worried that the flow rate wouldn't be that good, but it's the opposite. The shower waste is just about coping with the amount of water and I think I need to...

That's what worries me about using foam. How to get and keep it level while it dries.

I want to move our bathroom loo onto the other exterior wall and had intended to run the waste into the soil stack which serves the spare loo, but as it’s cast iron I’d have to replace it with plastic etc. In between this stack and where the new waste will exit the wall is a clay gully trap...
