i can only speak from experience,i have recently changed 2 d/g units in 2 seperate porches and on both occasions the glass company told me the unit has to be toughened,but does not have to be 'k' glass.if in doubt,just ring a window manufacturer and ask.if i'm wrong then i apologise,i've been...

not enough info. what colour is it ? how many openers does it have ? what type of glass ,clear/obscure ? does it need toughened glass ? (is it in a porch,if yes,pilkington 'k' glass not required,but toughened is.). here's a thought with regards to you're subject title. isn't that...

window first,then window board,then plaster.

these sheets do become brittle with age,the best way to cut them is with a sharp,fine toothed saw.sandwich the sheet between 2 pieces of timber,back just slightly from the line of cut,then apply enough pressure to the timber to stop the sheet from slipping when cutting,to cut the sheet,keep the...

i've used the method stated above dozens of times and never had a problem.but then again ,what do i know.

take the key out, remove the handles, fit a pair of mole grips to the flat part of the barrel make sure they are tight and if you wrench it to the side it will snap,remove the barrel and open the door remove the retaining screw. you can't do it with the handles on and try not to damage the door...

there are a few variables with this one, are the windows internal or external glazed(are the beads on the inside or outside of the window) if outside,is the dg unit stuck to double sided tape on the inside,if yes,this needs to be cut first,when the unit is out the tape residue needs to be...

6mm lime chippings from any roofing yard,1 bag will cover approx 3sqm.

someone can correct me if i'm wrong,but i'm pretty sure they are one and the same.one supplies the other,they just call them different names,i seem to remember speaking to a customer a while back,she wanted a new kitchen,when i arrived on site she had the mfi brochure and i had the howdens.after...

the best thing you can do is take a look at this http://www.fra.org.uk/techinfo.html. it should tell you all you need to know.

i won't name drop,but try 07779 657438 and ask for mick,he lives in wolves .

why not just rip off the flashings and renew them.

sounds about right,but i don't understand the last part.

yes,drips are formed in the same way. i prefer to use debotech torch on felts.yes lay perforated first or use polyester underlay and nail it down.if it is drips that you are fitting they should be fitted under the cap sheet and yes they will stick to the green mineral but make sure you heat...

the neatest joint is going to be a 45degree mitre,you need to glue and pin the joint if you're not going to paint it,you will need to fill the joint with a colour match filler,if the boards are cupped(not flat)you need to scribe your cut line all the way around the board and cut the board half...

sorry i haven't read all of the posts so this may already have been mentioned.to bend wood succesfully you need to steam it this involves making a steam box.a soil pipe is ideal for this,then you need to close the ends off,make a small vent hole at one end and attach whatever you use to create...

the lead for the bossed front apron should be the width of the stack plus 305mm and needs to be wide enough to provide 150mm cover on the tiles,the allowance for the upstand will vary depending on the brick courses but needs to be a minimum of 76mm,then you add 32mm for turning into the...

torch-on is the cleaner of the two,coldseal is very messy to work with and virtually impossible to stick upstands and drips without nailing them.as for blowtorches,you will need a 2" nozzle at least,any smaller and you won't be able to heat the felt in big enough areas to get a good bond.

if the chimney is no longer in use,and blocked at both ends ,it will need air bricks/vents to prevent damp causing problems in future,though this is unlikley to be the cause in this instance,but,if you're going to have the flashing done,you might as well get air bricks fitted at the same time.

i don't know if someone has already mentioned it but ,if that 18mm pipe has no insulation around it,it is probably a gas pipe
