Oak Doors - should the frames be oak or is white ok?

I'm planning on painting a window moulding which is in bare wood. Was going to use the Dulux Trade weathershield 3 part system, however I've seen that Ronseal do a 7 yr guarantee on their products where you can use a primer/undercoat then a gloss saving the additional cose of a seperate primer...

Mr Helpful... yes thats exactly it! The old upvc items were all totally wrong, woring size vents, installed wrong. Maybe there was confusion when we discussed the job, but I would have thought common sense would have prevailed, maybe that was expecting too much. Not good, but I really dont like...

Basically the pvc items previously in were all fitted wrong, theymade the house fit the windows. I asked him for openers that were original to the house. Every other house has them. But it looks like hes just gone with the size of the old openers.

I basically asked for original sized windows like everyone else!

The lower windows are alot longer than anyone elses, nt happy! :o( What can I do?

No I mean the top windows have been manufactured too small. It looks odd compared to all the other houses.

I've had some double glazing fitted and something just didnt look right about the top vents. The square lead looked very small. I've now compared them to next door and all the other houses in all surrounding roads and the windows are approx 20-22". 22" is the original spec on the last few...

Im buying new doors, whats best engineered or soild? I know the engineered are more stable and cheaper, but has anyone bought solid simply because its a 'real' oak door? Yr opinions would be most welcome.

Cheers, that helps! Is Cat 5 a consideration? Trying to get my head around it all!

Hi Roughcaster, are you able to quote me to skim a 3 bed at all. Im in Essex. Cheers.

Ha ha Great, thanks for the info.

Yes thats what Im asking. Im no expert when it comes to electrics and when the sparki comes round would like to have some idea on what options to tell him.

Oh I see. Cheers will do. ps are you allowed to tell me the name of that plasterer on here?

Cheers thats pretty much around what I was quoted! He mentioned not just skimming them, but bonding them first also for better coverage. I dont know if this is normal practice?

Im having a rewire, do I need Cat 5 for a normal domestic computer for internet use? Also what else do I need to consider for a rewire? Was going to have lamps in bedroom on a circuit so controlled by a wall switch, but the wireless controllers you can get nowadays look quite good where they...

What would be the average cost to skim an average 1930s three bedroom house including ceilings? This would include whole house but not the kitchen. Had a quote yesterday and not sure if its average or too high? Just a rough ball park figure would help as each job is obviously different, just...

Yes I think its a scotia mould, looked at a neighbours and looks original on theirs, Ill speak with Hamiltons on Monday or the company thats possibly supplying the boards. Cheers

Im having new windows fitted and have decided to but oak sills/boards internally, which are not as cheap as I had thought. On the old sills there is a moulding under them does anyone know what this is called? As I would like to have this in oak to go with the new boards. ps anyone know of any...
