Your smug attempt at sarcasm wasn't required for me to get a helpful response from crank39. I can now move forward and get second quotes or a tub of filler for the existing timber windows. Why only 3 quotes when you could get 5, 6, 10 and waste the time of all but one tradesman?

Yes, a totally unnecessary and unhelpful response that Robin hoped to make part of his points scoring contribution to this forum.:giggle: Personally I prefer to get a single quote from a reputable installer, who in this case was recommended and we've used before, prior to wasting the time of...

Yes, I think you've pretty much nailed the spec there? Internal bars I believe? Having found the invoice for windows we had fitted 10 years ago I've clearly lost touch with prices!:( Probably influenced by Homes under the Hammer where the purchaser can roof repair, install heating, bathroom...

Thankyou, yes 1/4 is about right, but in this case the bars are more expensive than the DG units themselves! Is £1000 per window the ball park figure we can expect?

We've been looking to replace 2 x wooden casement windows about 900mm wide and 1300mm high with new pastel or wood coloured UPVC. One opening, ground floor. It's a long time since we've bought windows and have had a price just shy of £2,000 to supply and fit which may or may not be excessive...

We currently have a single glazed secondary panel screwed to the inner frame of a wooden sash window. With an increase in traffic noise it's no longer up to the job and I'm considering replacing with a double glazed panel but these don't seem to be readily available? We can get sliding units...

Not a direct answer to your question but a soapy mix of washing up liquid or a de-greasing fluid can apparently be used to remove easy jointing should you need to.

I understand acetone can soften and harm some plastics as well? I've already tried that and yes, the bigger half a mm spots come off but others don't, hence the nail brush, a very mild scourer, soapy water, 'Elbow Grease' the spray stuff etc., One chair has a thousand tiny spots on the seat...

I have some retro Schreiber dining chairs with black plastic/vinyl seat and back pads. Spares that we drag out at Christmas which were acquired over 20 years ago. On some of them there is roller overspray, white emulsion I presumed, dozens of 1mm spots that I thought would come off with a bit of...

....and your point is?

I'll stand corrected but I think he was making the point that based on averages, there should be more Muslim Nobel Prize Winners?

Yes, but there's a marked difference when one talks about percentages, reasons etc., and Zero! There are for instance, very few Eskimo 100m runners and you don't have to be a scientist to work out why ;)

There's been 9 Muslim winners of the Nobel Peace prize, the latest in 2023.

I've just cleaned a block paving area with exactly the same problem and used a Nilfisk pressure washer with their Turbo Nozzle which cuts right through the weeds. You will have to think about re-sanding to replace any that's been blown out of the joints. PS: We also blew over them with some...

I won't be taking it down as the road side, when given a good manicure looks damn good. The back's a different matter:giggle:

I missed your post but bought the saw and nipped round the corner to buy the Bosch blades. Great minds and all that...:giggle:

After much thought and a bit of research - YouTube - I'm going to get a corded Mac Allister Reciprocating saw from B&Q. It will do the job on the dead Leylandii branches as I won't need the elbow movement of a manual saw, I've also got some pallets to cut down and can see it coming in handy for...

Einhell is in Germany............happy to help...:giggle: Whilst design and development of Einhell power tools takes place in Germany, their products are largely produced in China. The manufacture of these products is supervised by German engineers and technicians who ensure all products are...

I'm looking at the single handed chainsaws with a 15cm blade but hear what your saying.
