they've just stuck a few bits of glazing tape against the hinges- the double sided tape is for securing glass units not for draught proofing they are feeding you crap ! obviously they can't be bothered to fix it properly the gasket comes with the frame so its not that either put a piece of paper...

measure overall length of hinges will be 12" minimum possibly 14" then you need to measure stack height which is overall thickness of the complete hinge probably 13mm or 17mm you will also need to bear in mind that your current hinges are easy clean egress hinges and you will need to replace...

you need a new set of hinges mate

well the dry verge cappings are about £3 each so you need to count how many left hand and how many right hand you need and you will require 3 centre caps as for labour it all depends on access and time required and without seeing it i wouldnt like to guess if i can get to a gable reasonably...

should be no problem for a glazier/ window fitter price will depend on how glass is secured, beading on the inside or wedge gaskets quicker to do than glass held in with glazing tape

to be fair 2800 sounds like a good price but you can add another 200 for replicating that leading it can be done just need to take some pictures no point trying to use the original glass its just not viable but a good glass shop will copy the style no problem i wouldnt stand underneath your...

make sure you seal outside before rendering over

looks like you need new hinges

without seeing it i would probably quote in the region of £3100 - £3500 for full replacement using "freefoam" fascia boards and flo-plast guttering. make sure you ask for over fascia vents aswell and you dont need gutter guard buts its up to you I personally prefer to fit treated timber to the...

flick off the cover caps above and below the central alllen key there should be adjustment screws under there

would it be possible to fit some noggins between the rafters and knock some wedges above the noggins to raise the sagging areas enough to shed the water and to support any further sagging this is all done from inside and would help in the short term

yes thats right something like 18mm so it doesnt buckle

you could buy a sheet of ply/ osb and cut 8" strips screw these to brickwork with spax levelling as you go then stick duraboards down to these

unless you have a fire escape window underneath the transom then you need a clear opening of at least 450mm width and height and a minimum opening area of 0.3m2 which may push your transom height higher rather than lower best to discuss it with the firm but im highly sceptical of the claim...

no, transom height can be just about whatever height you like. normally you would set them at 1/3 of the overall height so a 900mm window would be at 270mm a 1200 window would be at 370mm etc (30mm for the cill)

sounds like it has dropped(the weight of the glass is causing it to lean over at the top) needs toe and heeling properly then adjusting on hinges if required

that was the reply of a tosser the poster wanted to know how to fit upvc cladding that was their choice, they have seen it and liked it and just wanted advice on how to go about it. whether you like it or not is irrelevant, if you cant give constructive advice then keep your opinionated...
