Timber was fixed to the mullions, then the windows fixed to the timber.

Is that like a CT1 sealant/adhesive? Strip this stuff off, clean and replace?

What are the covers?

You got solution, mate?

That ship has sailed, that's why i'm looking for advice here.

We had new windows fitted and this bit of upvc between the bay windows doesn't have a great finish on it. Looks about 100mm wide, and just fills the gap between the windows, but the silicone is splitting already. Is there a better way to finish this? Something that flexes down the middle? Or use...

You're correct. The stairs looked to 'fan out'(?) and get gradually wider near the bottom. I can see from the paint that the risers have also been cut and pushed back to support the treads. Cant see underneath as it's still plastered in there.

Yeah, it looks tricky.

I removed the carpet from the stairs in our new/old house and, as suspected, the bottom three stairs aren't in great shape at all. There was a chair lift in here at one time, and the installers have just ripped through the treads to get a straight edge. How challenging would these be to replace?

I'm currently enduring a drawn out saga with a builder who's meant to be fitting a french door to the rear of our house. He's cut the opening for the door but, by his own admission, he's messed up the measurements (he had to change the lintels he fitted because there was inadequate bearing at...

96 metres (20 lengths) coming in at £100.80.

I'm worried it won't dry out though. Not quick enough considering it'll be sheeted same day - in an area already prone to dampness.

It's wood (20 lengths) that've been purchased to frame off some stuff that will then be plasterboarded over. I'm concerned that the areas getting sheeted off (chimney breast X 2 and a bathroom) are already prone to moisture/penetrating damp. I'm feeling really uneasy about using this. My builder...

It's rough sawn, which is also pretty wet from lying in the builders yard.
