Hello all. Can anyone help identify what keys I might need to work these PVC windows? If not, is there a simple way of making them unopenable (until they are eventually replaced)? Thanks!

Hadn't thought of that - is there a special handshake system in place so I will know?! 8)

Thanks Freddy, thats helpful...I will go that route. Based on those prices steel handrails i think!! I realise the question is very open...just wanted a ballpark figure for a simple terrace, steel railings with good quality materials covered with a timber decking. I don't want to overinvest...

That would be my next step. Is there any reason they would laugh? A similar property has been done like this a few doors away. I just want to know whether this is a £10k job or a £20k job or whatever. Having no experience of the planning department I don't want to go to them with a half baked...

Thanks Guys. My blood pressure is starting to rise on this one!! The hallway alone has probably 15-20 tufts...some are string like woven into the carpet and others are finer but still visible. I haven't done a full count but I imagine I could get to 50 easily enough. I will post in the...

Update: I did the painting with Crown Solo - worked quite well - i wasn't able to get the look perfect (ie it doesn't look like a white velux window from the shop) but it definitely passed the glance test. Cheers

Thanks for the replies so far. Are there any other bright ideas?? Otherwise I will try the Crown Solo route. Tks!

Hi all, I have just finished a redecoration with one or two items yet to do. Attached is a pic of the main bedroom which has a pine velux window. The pine (imo) does not match the paint colours/carpet or other woods in the room (white gloss and dark wood). The options I am thinking about...
