There now is a gap on the outside of the door and the inside of the door betwen the uPVC frame and the window. Not sure how to tackle this and if it can be resolved easily. I would say the gap between the frame and the window on the outside is maybe 4mm in places and about 2mm on the inside.

Hi all, does anybody know why this is happening on my window side panels (or whatever they're called). As you can see, it seems to be the lining on the inside of the window that's peeling and it's now showing all the insulation between my inside wall and the window itself. I have called the...

The UPVC windows in my house are showing signs of condensation and this is darkening the net curtains . Can this possibly be repaired or what can be done to correct this. Thank you

As per the title -- the sill for my French doors is short by about 10-15mm either end. This is because the builders didn't read the plans properly and have built the opening too wide. Unfortunately it's too late for them to do anything now so I'm on my own. I've spent a good few hours trying to...

We've got the shell of an extension at the back of our house, completed by a builder. Roof, walls, concrete floor, etc. -- just no windows or doors. Throughout the build communication was absolutely rubbish with me constantly having to chase things up, and taking time off work for no-shows...

Hello folks, I have attached a photo of my window which seems to have a gap between the cill and the window (I am referring to the bit where that small leaf seems to be stuck). Should this be sealed because I read somewhere that a gap is required for drainage but then I have also read that it...

Hi all, I need to reduce a window opening on the first floor from one large window into two smaller ones. Below the window are two universal beams back to back which are supporting the wall above an opening into an extension (a few courses down, not directly underneath). Before I go employing...

Hello all, We're in the middle of planning for extension which is likely to happen next year. As part of the works I plan to do the internal reworks this year (mostly just moving a stud wall to create a corridor upstairs to the new bedroom) and then have the extension built next year and knock...

Hi, During our renovations we have removed the wallpaper and along with this the UPVC “edge” around the window has come off. What products would you use to “connect” the windows to the wall and to get rid of the unsightly gaps? Thank you

Is there a big price difference between single and double glazing on a standard window (no bevelled glass or leading). Bedroom dorma window that measures 4m long is double glazed but not very good in terms of sound proofing, wondered if triple glazing was worth the extra money assuming the price...

Hi Looking at getting my dorma window replaced as I’m getting condensation in between the panes and also we have a leak coming in from the corner of the sill and I’m sure it’s related to the window ax no tiles are missing. Problem is that I’ve cut back the blown plaster to see the water damage...

I’m in the process of building my first home. The house is under construction but I have found several issues. I noticed that one of the windows were sticking and has this separation/crack in drywall. Should I express any concerns to the builder??

(Thank you mods for correcting my clerical error :) I have two windows that have developed the same problem with an aluminium part snapping and an arm disconnecting. I can't seem to find a replacement hinge that looks like these either the complete unit or with the part that is broken in them...

What is the best way to clean and paint this bit above a bay window? Whats the piece above the window called and is there a specific type of outdoor paint I should use?

Hello there. I need to remove and replace two lintols above upstairs windows and was wondering if this could be done from inside, rather than using a scaffold. With access outside using ladders only to remove bricks and replace them afterwards. Presumably Ill need to prop the ceiling...

We’ve just bought a 1930’s semi which is double glazed, but by the looks of things some older aluminium secondary glazing remains. We’re going to take that out, but what are these blocks with holes in between the double and secondary glazing? I assume some sort of thermal bridging? Thanks in...
