Hi all I want to replace a piece of guttering as it’s leaking and I think it was cut too short but I can’t find any replacements that are the same shape as mine. Can anyone help?

I just got new uPVC window installed on a cavity wall of a 1969 house. I try to put the picture step by step how the worker fitted my window. They removed the window [with such a mess], and I put picture from the starting of the fitting. There are leveling wood (orange) in between cavity wall...

Been cleaning/restoring our uPVC window frames. Noticed that the sill was loose so removed it to give it a proper clean. Underneath is a gap in the capping whcih doesn’t look right to me. Imagined that this should run right underneath. The seams of the window frames/seals were sealed with...

Hiya, hope this is allowed. I'm hoping someone in my area can recommend a company they have worked and happy with. The windows of the flat webought 3 years ago are terrible. Much condense in winter, I can therefore see mould. I suspect they areboth cheap and terribly fitted. I'd like to do a...

Hi. We have a uPVC windows which were fitted probably over 15 year ago. There is a gap on the hinge side of both of the outward opening windows, which lets in a draft and noise from outside. The reason for the gap, from what I can tell, is because the window frame is slightly bowed inwards. So...

Hi, I'd like to make the size of my bathroom window opening smaller. I'd then get a new window fitted or if it's possible, use the right hand panel of the existing window. It looks like it may be possible to cut the window down the middle joining bar (to the left side in order to keep most of...

Hi all, I'm looking for some advice. I've had a 1-2mm gap in the middle of the hinge side of a window in my living room. I tried some window wedges to pull it in and they did nothing so I bought replacement hinges. Today I fitted them but now the gap is bigger and extends along the top and...

Good afternoon, I've seen a couple of similar posts on here but I'm still can't work out what's going on here. As you can see from my attached photos, there is excessive damp, mid height around my back door frame. The external brickwork has been repointed recently and looks watertight. The...

I've reviewed other solutions but mine seems different. The UPVC window is reasonably modern as it has deep double glazing. Probably 10 years old. I have removed handle & confirm spindle attached & working. It moves the shoot bolt at the top of window but not bottom one. Having checked with...

Hi all, I am looking for a replacement cockspur wedge with only one central nub on the back. I've been looking online for ages and have nearly given up so any help would be much apricated. I need one that matches (even roughly) the specification in picture below. I think it must be an extinct...

My uPVC patio door handle recently stopped working. When I took the handle off and removed the spindle, I found that the 'follower' (square hole that the spindle goes in to) has shattered. I've attached a photo where you can see that the bottom and right side of the follower has broken off. I...

Hi, I need to replace a single glazed (security glass) 2 pane external sliding door, c. 2380 mm wide / 2082mm high. Near Crystal Palace. The current one is hardwood with two single panes of security glass, but is in a poor state and would need significant rebuilding (I'm open to that, but can't...

Hi all, I'm currently 1st fixing my security alarm cable in my own self build and I am trying to minimise any visible cable / trunking on / around the window frame. It's all hard wired as I am not a great fan of wireless. The frames are UPVC. I have already fitted 2 concealed Elmdene flush...

I'd like to put a catflap into a tall, narrow double-glazed window (300mm x 1800mm), but the window isn't wide enough for a new glass panel with circular cutout for cat flap adapter. The next best solution would be to divide the window into 2 panels. a 300mm x 300mm infill panel at the bottom...

What sort of float is used when plastering/skimming around uPVC windows so the white uPVC doesn't get scratched by a steel float? I looked on Screwfix but maybe I wasn't using the right search term, I couldn't find anything that looked right. Tnx Dain

Hi. A few years a go I purchased window blinds using the perfect fit mechanism where they 'slot' in behind the rubber seal in UPVC windows. They've been in for nearly 5 years now but the seals in a few of the windows have stretched or something and the blinds are not flush to the top of the...

Hello! I need to restrict the opening of the lower pane of a uPvc sash window - any idea how to do that? It needs to be something that is either permanent or can be locked with a key. I've seen sash window restrictors, but if locked they restrict opening of both windows. I only want to...

I have a misaligned uPCV external door with butt hinges (not sure which manufacturer, but is 3D adjustment type). The bottom hinge is clearly out of alignment and recently a small screw fell out the bottom - my guess is that it has just worked loose over time. I have tried to push and screw...
