Hi @Tigercubrider there is not cavity wall its a solid external wall, the drawing is from the installers where they have assumed its a cavity wall. So if the steel frame needs to be fixed on the inside of the external wall, wouldnt the steel create a cold spot?

Thanks for your reply @JobAndKnock, when you say timber framing do you mean the base that the three panes of glass will fix directly into? These panes then should be able to support the glass roof of the oriel window?

Thanks for the info @Notch7 very helpful. Here is a photo of our current windows and one from a neighbour down the road showing the mouldings that we might hope to replicate...

Thanks for all the advice @JohnD do you leave any gaps between the boards for expansion?

Could I do this just enough to kill off the shoots on my side of the garden, as the ivy really belongs to neighbours?

The house was built in 1910 not sure if it has a clay liner. This is the view looking into chimney

So the height from the top of the chimney to the flaunching is 450mm, would the chimney pot need to be say 600 mm in total to allow for the new flaunching around it, and to match the height of the other pot?

Any help much appreciated?
