Hi All We had new window fitted on an upstairs bay window 6 years ago. 6 months later we noticed staining in the downstairs bay ceiling. Then it suddenly got really bad, started dripping and lumps of plaster fell off. We phoned a builder who said that there had been some movement in the bay...

Or is it possibly to buy this per linear meter any where?

BC have just passed my home made rooflights in my extension. I don't see how windows would be treated any different. Why would BC treat self assembled & joinery workshop made frames any differently, it's a lump of wood holding a piece of glass in place with appropriate draft/weathersealing.

Hi I am replacing my flat felt roof with a fibreglass warm roof. I was initially recommended to use visqueen fully bonded vapour barrier beneath the insulation as it is self adhesive and there is no need to prime the OSB. However, I need 26 meters and it comes in 20m rolls for £198. What...

I have found another company that do the flat pack windows but only in hard wood so I will see how the price comes back. This supplier provides the draft seals and specifies the type of glazing needed in order for the windows to meet building regs. I'll try a local joiners next as woody...

We're replacing our conservatory windows and I want them to match timber bi-fold doors that are right next to it. I prefer Timber over other materials and am happy to maintain it. I have had quotes for bespoke windows making and cannot afford it. This way would be more financially efficient...

Hi Does anyone know where you can buy made to measure flat pack (kit) timber windows. I found this website http://www.diywoodwindows.co.uk/ that did provide the window frames already pre machined, seals, all the iron mongery. When I called them they had ceased trading. I have tried a few...

But where is the fun in that! It's only the garage and I like to fettle :D Could I fit the unit into to two edge glazing bars, flash the top and let the bottom run over?

I am going to be replacing the flat roof on my garage with a fiberglass one this summer and I want to install a roof light. I already have a pilkington low-e self cleaning double glazed unit sat in the garage so I was hoping to use this, however I have no frame for it. My plan was to make...

Hmm.. That's probably what I'd get for the dishwasher on ebay (if it worked). It maybe time for a new one.. Thanks for the info

SGS69A02GB/17 Thanks

I have bosch logixx dishwasher. When I turn it on, it sounds like a pump is just contantly pulsing. The display on the ouside is blank. The display on the top of the door makes no sense; it has the salt and the rinse aid lights on (though I'm not sure how full it is of either of these) and the 3...

I am on a strict budget and getting a new system boiler. I have bought a Magnaclean twintech and my heating engineer sugested not having a powerflush to keep costs down. He said if I turn off every radiator except one and take it in turns to go through every radiator in the system like this ,it...

Thanks for the reply. Have ordered the manifold so I can connect it all up before screeding. Cheers

I am laying underfloor heating pipes, followed by a sand and cemend screed. I have read that the pipes need to be under pressure whilst the screed is layed and dries. Is this really nesessary. There are no joints under the screed. I will heat the floor up fully and allow to cool before...

Thanks for the detailed reply. It has cleared up quite a few things.. I am building an extension at the mo and also considering linking up new underfloor heating in that part of the house. I shall speak to a few store manufacturers see if I can get it all worked out in my head. Cheers

I was under the impression that you can get open vented or unvented thermal stores, and that the water in the thermal store also rotates round the central heating loop. Is this incorrect? Because I am replacing a sealed combi boiler system, I assumed I had to get an unvented thermal store...

I am wanting some advice on Thermal stores. Our old combi boiler has given up the ghost and I understand that this can be replaced with a system boiler in conjunction with a thermal store. My house has no header tank and no space for one so I believe I need an unvented cylinder. I was...

I've just bought a house and in the upstairs front bedroom their is a massive hole in the chimney breast. I want to brick this up so I can decorate. At some point I will want the chinmey breast lining so I can put a real fire downstairs. They sell a few different types of blocks...

Thanks for the replies. The underfloor heating works quite well but it does need to be on for about 30 - 40 mins in advance, the room is always cooler than the rest of the house at the moment, and the moment it turns off, its cold. It was one of those diy kits that hooks up to the central...
