Thanks Noseall. Mr rusty, they are replacing the wood bit that the glass is in but not the whole window frame as such. Thanks

Thankyou Woody for all your help. I am absolutely terrified dealing with this. I keep having visions of enormous fines for changing my window panes! Totally out of my comfort zone. Havent done any really big jobs here for years and life has changed a lot. Have made a bit of a cock up on the...

Thankyou

Thanks Mr Rusty. Thats really interesting as we are probably going to move anyway in the next 3 years as will need 1 level for disability access shortly (getting old!). Thanks for the info re the indemnity insurance. I always worry about regulations and things so pleased there are no window...

Good Morning Last year i had some single glazed timber framed window casements replaced with double glazed ones. I am about to have some more done to help with the chill in the house. The window restorer has now said I need building regs for the new ones, which of course I am happy to do. The...

Thanks Robin. Ps. You know the loft. After i remove the bits of roll insulation to form a path,If i get the thickness of the board so it actually comes level with the rafters (the strut things on the floor), is that what you mean would be safe to walk on.? Or would that need pleywood just placed...

Thankyou so very much for this indepth answer Robin, that is brilliant!
