    Hi masona I have vents the full length of the soffits. I think it may be the insulation which is possibly blocking them. If I need vents would I just need to get ridge tile vents or would be also be preferrable to put vents further down as well nearer the soffits? I notice the same...

    Morning (not a good morning) I have found an interesting fact. From looking at both windows which were installed and this included the opening pane of the upstairs window, it would appear that the gap appears on the side of the glass which doesn't have the removal bead. Don't know what this...

    Continuation of the saga. New frame put in. There are small chips and surface scores on the new frame - don't know why this is. Is it normal not to get a window frame which is almost perfect. I would not have bothered about these if the window had been fitted perfect first time round but...

    Help please. New uPVC window frame is not straight

    hi john I am hoping that the frame is the problem as they will be using the existing window which is in the current frame. If they fit the new frame and the existing pane of glass and there is still a gap at the rubber, should I accept this? I have tried telling them that the other...
