window fitting

Hello all, I'm wondering if anyone can advise how to solve the issue with the new UPVC window in our loft room? After recent stormy weather, we found it had been leaking from above the window on the left hand side, plus a bit of a stain in the middle (see pictures). The window is located in a...

We live on a fairly busy road, technically 20mph but everyone does at least 30mph. There is a constant stream of traffic until fairly late in the evening and queues during morning and evening rush hours. Motorbikes go up and down late at night. No lorries or buses normally though due to narrow...

Hello, I have googled the hell out of this after I fell out with my architect for lying to me and can’t find the answer, so I thought I would join the fun and ask. I am not a builder but so far this has been an amazing learning curve. I am building an extension and we have planned to put 3.1m...

Hi folks I'm after some guidance please. I'm planning to convert a coal store to a downstairs toilet. I'm going to add a frosted double glazed wooden window to let some light in. I've searched utube for suitable how-to videos but nothing shows this exact process. I had it in my mind as...
