:lol: No comment! I'm employed by one of them!

Yes really, most of the latest systems from leading profile company's Veka, Rehau, profile 22 Eurocell etc are 28mm systems. Yes, 24mm systems are still available but they tend to be the older systems. However, with the introduction of WER's optimised performance needs to be achieved in the...

Another thing to consider is the actual window U values. The figure of 2.2W/m2K is a maximum, with soft coat glass and Argon filled units, window U values of 1.4/1.5W/m2K are achievable with double glazing

Secure enough.... at the end of the day, if someone really wanted to get in they would break the window. New windows are primarily internally glazed Anyway, it sounds as if the rubber gasket on the inside is almost perished from your earlier post and as this would need to be removed to get the...

Forgive me prob should of asked this first:- 1. are the windows UPVC? 2. If so when you view the windows from inside and outside, on one side the window will be a continous form and on the other their will be a separate section which clips into the window profile.

:shock: DIY it is then!

Are the windows internally or externally glazed (which side are the beads on)?

Genious! What a great little guide. I know 'tradesmen' tend to frown on DIYers but for non life-threatening jobs or skilled:lol: (things that don't bite back!! avoid electrics and structural work) I really don't understand why people will pay astronomical labour charges for relatively simple...

Positive thinking + Patience + a little bit of research = cash in pocket :lol:

Speaking of cats and pidgeons...... Lay it yourself and save £300, it's not rocket science. one weekend work, job done, go away for the following weekend and spend £300 at a plush hotel to celebrate your new found skills. lol :lol:

In my experience I would say that as long as you're not specifying high performance units, georgian bars, leaded etc. you should be able to get them within budget. I'm not saying you should deffinately do this but what i have done in the past is order the windows 'supply only', fit the easy...

The standard nowadays is 28mm They are right in some respects in that the optimum cavity for argon gas filled units is 16mm (4/16/4) however the difference is negligable. If you are having standard air filled units with an aluminium spacer bar there reallty is no difference to speak of. The...

WOW! :o Is that for a 'standard' job or using expensive materials? Don't mean to be at all funny but how does that break down into materials/labour?

Fair point Fred, apologies! :oops: Just getting agitated as i've just spent the last 3 months gutting and renovating my lounge/dining room only to have my wife just ring me at work to tell me we have big brown stains coming through the wall above the window.... GREAT... £3k, are you serious?

Ok so it's a bit of an open question!!!! Approx £££ per sq metre or £££ per day???

Hi, I live in a 1930's semi. The external walls are rendered. There are some cracks in the render and parts are lifting and causing some penetrating damp issues. Approximately how much would you say it would cost to have render replaced. Any help appreciated Thanks
