    I would like a glass pivot door and surrounding glazing instead of patio doors at the back of my house. Are there any building regs or structural requirements etc that I should consider before getting a quote?

    How do I tighten uPVC sliding door handle?

    Hi, my sliding patio door handle is coming loose. It’s a uPVC sliding patio handle. The top part has unscrewed itself but I can’t see a way to tighten it back up as the screw head appears to be inside the handle itself. Do I need to hire someone to come and fix it with special tools?

    Best windows for concealing heat and preventing draughts

    Are aluminium framed windows good at concealing heat and preventing draughts getting in? Are they any better than windows that use other materials for their frame or is it purely down to the strength of the window glass?

    Gap in my window letting heat out

    Hi all, Just wondering if you could advise me on a gap in my window where the hinge is. I have a brown uPVC window but it seems to be letting in a draught. If you sit at the right angle you can see daylight coming through. This is the space between the window opening and the frame, is this something that can be tightened and re-aligned or does the window opening need replacing? Thanks in advance.

    Removing a uPVC porch

    In the front of our house we have an old uPVC porch. Its going to come down easily enough because it's just glazed panels. Im just wondering how it's actually attached to the house. I don’t mind ruining the porch but want to have minimal damage to the walls of my property. Thanks.
