They come our this time of year, extra hungry. Don't feed them.

Fensa- who only deal with disputes around compliance of building regulations. Plastic Window Federation - who take on the guarantee of work and allow claims, if the installer ceases trading. There's one sentence on their website that they offer "dispute resolution". I don't have a dispute...

Wet patches are on both corners of each window that leaks. It's only 3 out of 20 windows with this issue, and the others don't seem and different in terms of placement. While they're in the same position as the old, I presume they didn't move as it would have left more cavity exposed than the...

No. Each time they looked and agreed it was leaking. Last time they took the glass out and "adjusted the frame and packers". So stupid question: if I open the window and slowly pout water down the drain holes, I'd expect to see it run out of the upvc cill gap on the outside? And if it doesn't...

Yes. One sales chap who did rough measurements. One "surveyor" who spent a few hours measuring.

Agreed Agreed No. They were original wooden single glazed. #1. Roof is fine, even checked. There are drainage holes. Signs of moisture from dust marks but never seen any

Cavity wall. Not a large cavity, maybe 3inch / 7.5cm Upvc cill on stone cill. Here's a ground floor window that has the same cill arrangement No idea

Yes, the "hints" caused a lot of headaches and dead ends. Also lots of similar names and places of birth. I had a real mix of ancestors - ww2 fighter pilot, a member of the 11th hussars (although about a decade after the charge of the light brigade), a load of soldiers, priests and doctors, a...

Yes Got back to the 1600s in a few areas. I was lucky. I inherited various "trees" from the 4x grandparents, who all had lots of siblings, so had a head start. Put it all on ancestry.com and paid the subscription and it auto suggests from other family trees. There's still lots of work to...

Ha! How so?

Not an electrician! When my bathroom mirror was put it, was advised it needed its own 2 pole isolation switch and its own rcd. This is in addition to it being fed from the lighting circuit that has a rcbo. Also, re: mirror. Doesn't any electrical work in a bathroom (in england) need to be...

My EV charger is being fitted in a week. Consumer unit in pantry at back of house. Cable being routed down into subfloor under the joists to front of house, then a trench dug through garden to parking area. Thank heavens work is paying for it. Point is, the company installing the charger...
