Best not to have top or bottom fixings if you can help it. Foam and sealant where possible for those. For side fixings at least 150mm from the corners and then approx 600mm spacings. I would take the cill off and check it is siliconed to the frame. Back edge of the cill and both of the sides...

Yes its normal (scary isnt it!) The have most likely dropped on the sash rather than the frame though, Usually you need to take the sash out to adjust. For the frame fixings if they are loose and just turning switch them out for screws with a slightly bigger thread, Dont over tighten them

Im pretty sure the top parts come off somehow and then the door lifts off. Been a while since I have come across those hinges so I cant remember exactly how its done,

If the mech is gone then unlikely to be repairable but never hurts to take it out lube it up (silicone or graphite spray) and put it back. You cant make it any worse. While its out look for any markings, codes and take photos. Have a quick Google on how to measure the PZ and the backset. If it...

Have a look into these http://www.smartsystems.co.uk/product/132/alitherm-heritage Aluminum, double glazed and thermally broken. Several different frame and sash options available to match most Crittal styles A bit more than PVC but not crazy prices

Hello No you wont be able to fix to cavity closers as they have no strength. Ideally you should be at least 30mm in from the exteria and the inside of the frame should cover any vertical DPC or be a little in past the bricks to prevent bridging the cavity

Pretty much that, Only scanned it quick but only 2 things I noticed you missed 1. Making good the floor/threshold 2. Building control sign off (around £200) or Fensa sign off Unless your in London that a bit expensive. I would say a £1500-2k job mainly depending on sidelights or not

Hi DH Yes GGfi is still linked, At least it was when I switched away from them a couple of months ago. I switched to these guys who are much cheaper and also linked https://www.hip.insure/suppliers/

Probably seized or broken. Replacements are cheap but can be a little tricky to find the exact ones and to fit as you generally need to completely dismantle the door. It should be pretty easy to lift the door out and take a good look

I have never come across a glazing bead that cant be removed. Can you post a pic of the window inside, outside and close up of where the water is coming through?

yes 120mm will do it https://www.screwfix.com/p/easydrive-countersunk-concrete-screws-7-5-x-120mm-100-pack/9008h you can buy them in smaller numbers from ebay personally I would avoid Rockdoor though, Theres alot of complaints about quality and customer service on many trade forms at the mo

photos would help

I have already given the answer here. As long as the old frame goes behind the render the usual 10mm or so you will be fine, Possibly in combination with taking the ribs off 1 side. For taking the ribs off an electric planner is the easiest but can be done with pretty much and cutting tool, Even...

It depends how you will use the porch. Personally I would say extra secure inner door and the porch doesn't really matter. I leave mine permanently unlocked as its mainly a place to get out of the rain, Put shoes and a place for delivery's to be left

Thats all pretty standard. 1. Yes alot of company's send frames glazed, Just whip the glass out for fitting. 2. The marks should clean off with a bit of solvent. Check before fitting. 3. It wont be straight until its fitted. 2mm difference between top and bottom is well within tolerances. 4...

I actually read a few years back about a manufacturer refusing to honor guarantees for fitters not having removed the handling tape! haha sod that

Should be fine with it being render to render measurements, They usually go about 5-10mm in behind. Cut the cill in a way that it will slide in sideways after the frame, That way you can shuffle the frame in sideways without the cill so you have 30mm height clearance then lift the frame and put...
