Quick update. He came as promised which is good and he spent 4 hrs rectifying the issues, much better now, only noticed a slightly raised cut which was very odd but overall happy enough now.

Maybe bodge but not scarper I think as they came today to have a chat and agreed to come Sat to 'finish' it again! Watch this space!!

Yep thought as much, bad job really weird because he's got good reviews and the one down the road looks good that he did. He did start another job before this was done however so thinking he's rushed at the end.

Posting on behalf of my Mother. She's had her drive block paved, finished it today but this is unacceptable surely, check pics, Thoughts??

I don't intend to tbh! although I may have a peek at the wiring in the fitting to see if there is any obvious issues. I just remembered he also told me he used longer screws to fix the fitting to the ceiling so maybe he's damaged the circuit wiring for upstairs, also there is no place for the...

Thanks people, as to who fitted it I believe it was stevie wonder! Seriously it was a friend of a friend apparently!!

Posting on behalf of my father in law. Firstly I don't intend to mess about with it and I didn't fit it either just to be clear. Yes they should get a sparky out but I am thinking it's relatively straightforward! OK here is the story. The Fluorescent Tube stopped working and was replaced...

Thanks all for the ideas. I was thinking fake grass myself aswell.

Any ideas on this? My Parents want away with the grass as they want a low maintenance alternative. Excuse the mess at the mo! It measures roughly 7m wide by 5m at the back towards the shed.

You make it sound pretty straightforward! I and a helper may give it a bash, excellent info.

No chance to do it off ladders i take it? or hire a cherry picker?? I did think scaffolding would cost 90% of the outlay.

Hi all, All looking very tired and in need of s upgrade as paint is flaking off but no rot that i've noticed. Front and back circa 10m total, how much to replace/clad roughly, anyone have a rough idea based in Manchester. I'm guessing its a pain to DIY it.

Thanks for that eta, I'll give that a go as I only need to seal the joins etc as I am 99.9% that is where the issue lies.

What can I use to seal it? I don't wish to tear it off and start a fresh as I am pretty sure it's coming in through the joins and screw hole areas. It is in very good condition apart from this. I have some Cromapol knocking about, will this do or is there something better out there? It...

Wow, going to leave this well alone then, thanks for the heads up!

Hmm, never heard of one! So IF I was to take the window out and put some doors in the house won't fall down!?

Thoughts on this guys please? It's my Mum & Dads place and they want some French doors in place of this window but it seems to lack the 150mm span each side to my untrained eye or have I missed something?? I am guessing I'll have to put a new one in before I fit the doors. Thoughts please?

Thanks crank39 for that, good advice there especially regards the cill! I was just going the fill the ends somehow but would look not great I suppose. Doors do open inwards but do have side panels so it would clear the reveals easily

Evening all. Thought I'd ask on here and see where we end up! Current sliding door frame measures 2150mm x 2040 and the French door frame is 2070mm x 2010mm how can I make them fit? I've read about UPVC extenders but the gap is rather large width wise - height not too bad. Ideas please?

South facing. I did think about having a border with sleepers down the sides and was maybe thinking artificial grass for low maintenance hoover once in a while!
