Frame makes are all ok (well not a fan of Duraflex but thats more of a fitting issue than anything else) For doors: Doorstop ok Solidor expensive but good Trudor I haven't used but haven't heard anything particularly good about them. I fit both Solidor and Doorstop and am happy with both

tiny bit tiny bit tiny bit only if unit is 36mm plus (ideally 44mm thick) and ideally with different glass thicknesses in each pane. Assuming your already double glazed (and even if your not), Secondary glazing with a 100mm air gap will give the most bang for your buck. Acoustic glass is very...

There are all sorts of ways to do leadwork, Some photos may help here PVC or timber windows? And just because I'm in Somerset, Where abouts are you?

Hello Yes you can. Video here on how to measure the cylinder https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=30&v=W7ms3BB8CTU If you want good security you want something with 3* rated security Ultron and ABS are some of the best but quite pricey at around £50-60. Yale do some too that are ok and a...

Have you looked at the partially solid roofs? https://www.ultraframe-conservatories.co.uk/solid-roofs/livinroof You can have glass or veluxs anywhere you like to still get the light in but the rest is all fully insulated and plastered

The big one is a dog bolt for security. As for the grubs if you slacken the posi screws the grubs can then be used to adjust the tip of the hinge to either throw it over or back a few mm

Hello They are called glazing cassettes and can be replaced. If its under 10 years old and still in guarantee I would persevere with your supplier/fitter. Maybe start hounding them on their social media sites. If out of guarantee then they can be a little tricky if you don't know what your...

Thats probably the best thing to do. Single skin Manuel doors are spring loaded so should be easy to operate. Roller doors take up no space which is there biggest asset. I would have thought a sectional door would be more expensive and would take up your ceiling space

Most windows are welded in the corners, Cracked welds would be either a factory or fitting issue which could happen with any make but rarely does. If you go with Decurninc you could look at paying a little extra and get the mechanically jointed corners (small 2mm weld internally on the sash's...

When you say change the lock do you mean the cylinder that the key goes in or the whole mechanism? Euro cylinders are pretty straight forward. There are a few sizes to take into account but they cost between £5-60 for the top of the range. If you were keeping the house I would say go for the...

We still don't know what your trying to adjust. Is it drafty? If so and its on the hinge side you need new hinges. If its on the handles side you may be able to adjust the mushroom keeps. Has it dropped on the handle side? Rubbing at the bottom and gap at the top. If so you need to toe and heel...

True if your not in the trade is very tricky to know, Even if you are the options are just crazy nowadays. PVC windows you can go wrong on the make really, They are all pretty similar and all meet regs. However its also down to the factory that puts them together and that along with the fitting...
