Cheers for the input guys. Must of caught him on good morning!! Actually scrap that because he has been good, informative and approachable (old school). You BCO's are all right, its not true what they say!!!! Basically with all things considered (insulation qualities up to present and what its...

Now then, i am near to the end of a small extension and so far so good and all has been correctly followed, correct insulation in cavity walls, floors, roof and velux windows. Now i'm struggling to find an external door that is in-keeping with the house and yet achieves a U value of 1.8. Now...

PBSCO/ladylola, Did as suggested and took section of cill to timber yard and i have 5 new cills, look and smell fantastic! Right my original cills were 3 inch deep and now my replacements are slightly shorter in depth think about 2 1/2 - 2 3/4. Will have to pack them out but with what? Was...

Evening, pretty late for this but been bugging me all day. The whole "fail to plan, plan to fail" quote is on my girlfriends lips and i'm hoping someone can pull me out of the mire so i don't have to hear it! I have a structural external door opening of 35"x82" (tight) which doesn't conform to...

Thanks PBSCO. Yes that's correct i'm re-glazing all the windows and i chewed for seems like an eternity getting the putty out on 2 windows so will give the heat gun a go. The reason i went off the putty idea is the majority of pains have been re-glazed previous and the putty finish is...

Morning all, as the title, i am stripping back my original sash windows from my Victorian terrace they have lacked serious TLC in the past. Bit of dry rot to treat but i have an idea on how to do this. My question is though it took me ages to get all the putty out, really past its best before...

Thanks very much. Reason a bit flustered on this is building regs were signed off with a ventilated design. If i was to deviate from this would they be ok as long as it stood up to modern regs or would i have to submit a revised spec? Anyway i'll have the first meeting with my appointed BC...
