Photos? Solvent cleaner or cream cleaner should clean stains. Maybe Tcut if its really bad

Trojan hardware has a 25 year guarantee I believe Also Sweet hardware may be worth looking into One of them might have fittings the size you need

Again will be specific to the make of door. Have you tried the supplier/fitter yet? If you take an overall pic inside and out of the doors someone here may recognize the make from the moldings and beads

Door panel is a pretty easy replacement. Your nearest Eurocell store will probably be the assisted place to buy one without a trade account. 2 things to watch though 1. Take the panel out first to check the thickness (probably 28 or 24mm thick) 2. Ideally you want to know the make of door to get...

Its a French door flying mullion end cap. The part will be specific to the make of the doors. Can you speak to the company that fitted them?

Should have gone to the fit show mate, They had the machines all set up and working there as well as several other new cool things coming out. The system has been out for a couple of years now I think but lots of factory's offering it now on many makes of window. I too have a massive stack of...

A mechanical join or timber weld would have been a bit extra on top of those rough prices. Somewhere around an extra £5-10 per corner/weld. To be honest I don't know what the "timber weld" costs. Its a license and machines a factory would have to buy in as an extra

Some factory's do mechanical join some do "Timber Weld" For Decerninck if you have mechanical join then its only the external done that way, Internal is the standard 45 degree weld for strength (otherwise you have to bond the glass like R9 do). Timberweld is the newish system that give...

For the cheaper makes it would have added about 30-40% to the material cost prices, So probably around 20% to the overall fitted price. R9 would have been about 2.5-3x the price

To be honest only timber ones I ever fitted were cheap ones from Wicks (customer bought them) Luckily I specifically made them sign a contract that we would have no responsibility for problems with the product itself. Has probably ended up costing them way more than ali doors by now as I charge...

Only just spotted your internal pics, Looks like they are not replaceable to me. Do you know who fitted the door? May be able to find the make from them and they would be the best people to ask initially about replacement. Failing that have a good look around the edges of the door and frame for...

Might be cheaper and easier to change both panes of glass to a new style rather than match an existing. Do you know the make of door? That doesn't look like a standard glazing cassette arrangement, If its something like a Rockdoor you will need a whole new slab as the glass cannot be replaced

R9 definitely top of the list for ticking all the heritage style boxes. Deceurnick are good Liniar standard flush sash are good, Their new Resurgance window could be an improvement on R9 with a double rebated flush sash. Its new so I would like to see it in person a bit more first.

Ali all day long I regret ever fitting PVC or timber bifolds, The few I did I get called back to at least once per year

I would try to find a direct replacement gearbox if at all possible. Take it out and make notes of any names, codes, numbers printed anywhere on it and then Google them. Once you know the name Ebay is usually the cheapest place to get them

Check with your bifold manufacturers carefully. Most state in the small print that low thresholds are not weather rated! Personally I like Smart's DV176 combined threshold/cill but it does have a 20mm lip

As God says. Fitted by a builder rather than a window fitter is the main problem. As well as not having sealed the ends of the cill it is common that they haven't sealed the frame down onto the cill correctly. Impossible to tell without taking the frame out and refitting it. Also most bifold...

There will only be either inside or outside beads. I cant tell from your pics but looks to be outside

Welcome from the future dogfonos! I would have thought they would have solved the aluminum condensation issues by 2107 but I guess not :( I used to make and fit ali windows and was taught it was the best of the best, Its not. It is really mostly for commercial applications (and bifolds)...

Every make has their quirks/draw backs. Solidor and Doorstop are actually the 2 main makes I use and no major problems with either. Solidor are generally about £300 more mainly due to the timber core slab rather than the foam filled slab. Having said that both of those quotes seem a little too...
