Replacement windows without lintels
We are purchasing a 1960's property which is fitted with timber-framed aluminium double glazing panels - most of which are blown and need replacing. Our surveyor has advised that there are no lintels above the current windows - with the concrete headers supported directly by the current window frames. Do we need to add new lintels to all of the window openings if we replace them with UPVC windows and what would the approximate cost of adding the lintels be?
Replacement conservatory parts
Hi, I have a 20+ year old 3m x 3m conservatory with the mock victorian plastic roof (it has a small leak), the timber is slowly deteriorating, but I can't afford to replace it. Can a joiner replace the beading and what would be a rough ball park figure to modernise it a little. My max budget would be about £3k

Best flooring for a conservatory
What types of flooring suit a conservatory best?
30 year old double glazed windows
Whilst the Anglian windows are still perfect the rubber seals are leaving black rubber residue on cleaning cloths and the black rubber coming off stains the external white finishes. A specialist says that the strip seals cannot be replaced due to their specialised profiling. Is there a clear silicone (or whatever) product that I can paint over the black sealing strips to reseal them?
How much does a low cost conservatory cost?
We'd like a conservatory but don't have a huge budget. What's the minimum realistic cost for a small, basic UPVC conservatory, fully installed?
