  • Help please, who do I ask?

    Hello! I’m looking for someone to remove and replace the silicone around my front and back door and the window at my house. My question is, do I find a handyman or do I contact a window company? I’m finding it hard to figure out whom I ask. Any suggestions would be amazing! Thanks so much! Kristi

    Reducing size of window & poly roof panels on P-shaped conservatory

    Hi, I was wondering if it's doable, and how much it would cost to reduce the size of a second-hand P-shaped conservatory on one side by only 1 foot (by possibly taking out one window panel width and uPVC/poly-carb roof panels to match and adjusting it accordingly to match up with the p side. It's a complicated shape as it is a slightly L-shaped as it wraps around the side of my driveway. But it only needs reducing by a foot on that side to fit, and it was suggested as a possible solution?. But I would value your professional opinion as to whether or not it would be worth the hassle and/or expense? Also the cost of a steel base rather than concrete. It's a large area, 11' x 10 & 14 x 10. It's the 14 x 10 that wraps around down the side, but from the house wall it measures 8' 7", that would need reducing to 7' 5" as the width of my driveway is max 7' 10" but I have 5" soakaway on that side. Plus it would be connecting my neighbours boundary wall! Thank you in advance Y

    Do I need to upgrade all my windows at the same time?

    Is it preferable to upgrade every double glazed window in my property at the same time or is it reasonable to upgrade some at a time over the years when I see fit? Any thoughts? Thank you.
