Any fitters want to comment on a price please, been quoted £5.8k supply and fit a Smart 3 pane folding door, 2.7m x 2.1m. I see the door online for 2.5k, so 3k to fit seems like a wedge or am i being unfair?

Thanks, great info

Thanks Edit - answer below very helpful too so I'll restate my original question as was asking about fabricators Vs manufacturers of end products.

Just to update this, decided to get someone in to fit the door rather than try and DIY it. They are fensa and it's an external rated Origin bifold going in. Is going to be fitted in line with the external breeze block constructed outer leaf, and the floor, and screwed into the catnic lintel...

Thank you, will do.

Hello. Thanks. It's solid. I read the spec for pro 1200 and it doesn't need a primer apparently.

Hi I need to prep a floor for LVT and the floor currently has old tile adhesive on it. I understand I can put SLC over the adhesive but do I need to put a primer or anything down? Thinking of using F.Ball Pro1200 latex smoothing compound based on what a flooring person told me. Is it just a...

Understood, thanks again.

Hi Woody thanks, honestly, all I know is from when I moved here over 10 years ago the solicitor said there is no indication on the deeds as to who owns the wall so it's shared. Not sure how that relates to your question. If it needed rebuilding I'd contribute. Not sure about pointing, as if my...

Thanks, good idea. Phoned them and they said nobody there to help by telephone but to send an email, which I've done. Regarding fixing to the wall itself, does anyone know if permission from the joint owner is needed? Luckily the wall itself is in good condition but it's under a metre high...

Hello New neighbours have appointed a fencing contractor to build a 2m high trellis fence and are attaching it to their side of the shared garden wall. This fence will run to the pavement, and aesthetically is out of keeping with the other properties on the road where all the other garden...

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh didn't realise you could get straps. NOW it makes sense. Thank you mate.

That's a conservatory on the right hand side

I don't think I've got a problem! Every other extractor fan in the house has a dedicated isolator switch as well as the activator switch but now you mention it, the upstairs bathroom comes on when the lights are on, and the downstairs bathroom comes on via humidity so maybe that's why each has...

So with this wall, it would be bolted to the outer leaf but overlap the cavity so it can be set back 20mm or so? What's puzzling me and maybe I'm overthinking it, is that the outer wall doesn't seem deep enough.

The electrician has put wiring in place for an extractor fan for the kitchen which will go in the ceiling void at a later date, just getting the circuit in place, switched from a wall switch. I asked where the isolator is, and he said it's on the wall, the switch. So no isolator. I'll fit one...

Hello I'm considering DIY installing aluminium bifold actually 3m so trifold, and am unsure if I mount them to the outer leaf or somehow in the cavity? Construction is cavity, breeze block outer and thermalite blocks inner, which are very soft. I have a slider door in another part of the...

I could probably run the rest of the house from the kitchen!

This guy is going to be doing a CU update for me!

Hello We've had a half wall and timber door/window taken down which has resulted in a gap in the floor and the wall. I'm considering DIY'ing a bifold door in here, but unsure as to how to make the cavity good to accept the frame? If I close off the cavity in the wall with bricks, that will...
