  • Window not opening

    Hi, one of our upstairs windows is refusing to open… I was wondering if there is a common reason for this to happen and if it’s most likely a simple fix or something a bit more costly…? I realise it might be difficult to say without seeing it. Many thanks.

    best wall to make for cedar clad

    Hi, I want to know what is the best wall make up for cedar clad for a new build, just need for one front face wall. I am wondering if a cavity wall plus cedar on top will be overkill. I will go for cavity brick wall all round three sides, and this would be for front face, just deciding what will work? Any ideas, need to meet building regs also. Need insulation inside also. Can I do just single brick inside, insulation and outside go straight in with cedar? Thoughts please.
