Thanks Richard. Cheaper than having them installed I guess! Better get measuring!

were they as easy to fit as they appear? It looks straight forward enough, but looks like it has potential to be a git!

Thanks Darth. Did they install, or did you self install? Paul

Thanks Richard. When you say a fee, is it a few quid, or a few hundred quid? Cheers Paul

Hi All, looking at replacing my knackered old upvc windows with nice new ones. Have found uktradewindowsonline.co.uk who have some good prices, but how hard is it to do a like for like replacement myself. I'm a competent DIYer who has turned his hand to most things, so would be happy doing...

thanks darth, so they are vaguely useful in the winter at keeping the heat in then. Is it much difference, or is it all in the mind do you think? May the forth be with you :lol:

Thanks Alastair, i'd already found this, but doesn't really tell me what I need to know. I need to know if it has any impact at all on keeping the heat in during the winter, or if it's just useful in the summer Paul

Hi All, Just a quick opinion from anyone who has experience of these if you would be so kind... Everywhere I have read about these has confirmed that their summer performance is good, but the winter heat insulation properties is a bit more vague. Can anyone let me know if they have any...

Thanks breezer, I always make a diagram now after the great light wiring debacle of 2001, but thats another story altogether! :D

Thanks chaps, I just wanted a rough idea before i got stuck in. If i get to it and i'm unsure i'll post a pic for further advice!

Just a quick query... I'm replacing the lights in my kitchen, there are two lights (one at each end of the room), and they are operated by 2 switches, one by the back door, one by the living room (the lights are not independent of each other, they are either both on or both off). I know...

Is the leak sealer paste a B&Q job, or is it a specialist supplier item?

Hi All, I have just changed the radiator in my downstairs loo. I have used one of these telescopic adjusters as the rad is slightly smaller. Everything is great, except where the adjuster goes into the rad, there is a slight leak. I have tried everything, Loads of PTFE, not much PTFE and...

Hi everyone, I am about to fit a fire surround with Marble hearth and backplate into my living room, on a flat wall (electric fire unfortunately!!). It has been supplied with some keyhole fixings, which I guess will stick out of the side of the surround. Can anyone offer advice on the best...

As I thought, but it's always good to get a second opinion!! :D Thanks for you help Paul

Hi everyone, Just looking for some clarification... I am going to wall mount my tv in the living room, and want to put my sky box and dvd player in the cupboard under the stairs which backs onto the living room wall where the tv is, so I need to feed the scart cables etc through the solid...

Excellent! I take it if i do this before January it would be against regs? Will the box in the skirting be ok if it is sunk to be flush with the skirting? (i.e you can just see the outline of the blanking plate and the screws?)

Thats what i'm thinking, but on the other side of the wall in the cupboard, with the wire passing through the wall back into the lounge at point of where i want the socket. Is this within regs anyone?

Having had a good look at my further options, Is it possible for the cable to be external in trunking? I ask this as the lounge wall backs onto the Downstairs cupboard, so I could run the cable on this wall, and pass it through where I want the socket to be, but it isn't essential for it to be...
