    pvc shaped box ends

    it can be done but may end up looking a bit odd you will need to use a bit of box end board place it over the current wood box end and draw round the outline then cut out the centre hole slightly smaller so that you don't see the wood through it. then you will have to trim round the edge with...

    Soffits

    he is probably referring to tongue and groove soffit which is a lot stronger when fitted this way than when fitted in a 5mtr floppy length and you don't have any joins in the soffit doing it this way or notice any variations in the brickwork

    Price for fascia,soffitt and down pipes

    i agree with mw if you can get hold of deeplas then use that and also about swish/ concord im sure he buys in bulk but if like me you only do a few fascia jobs a month then you have to get what is available for delivery or collect so I stick with freefoam its the best of whats readily available...

    ditto what mr.crank said you can get a reveal liner that is only 3mm thick that will slide under existing frame thus not blocking drainage so will work to a certain extent depends how involved you want to get really :)

    Price for fascia,soffitt and down pipes

    I personally do not like eurocell fascia but im sure there are others who swear by it on the ogee fascia the corners do not fit very well and only come in 300mm length and they do seem to discolour still whereas freefoam boards can be upgraded to a twenty year colour fastness guarantee are...

    Fitting new window here

    if you are not bothered about damaging inside then take it out and refit new one from inside. if it sits behind stone work then it is easier this way measure same as existing and order with large outer frame 70mm so openers will not foul on corbels and you will have more frame to seal against

    Draft at top left corner of PVC door.

    I don't think it needs toe and heeling if the locks all engage properly, by the sounds of it the keeps on the door frame that the door locks into need adjusting in order to pull the door sash closer to the frame if you open the door there will probably be roller keeps that can be adjusted this...
