window installation

Hi, came here as I'm looking for some advice on 2 new double-glazed windows we've had installed. We probably wouldn't be concerned if there hadn't already been several things we consider to be red flags. It is possible that a couple of these aren't red flags and are actually perfectly...

Hi all, Last week I had some new triple glazing installed, we had saved for a while to get the windows replaced that were really old and broken and from before we brought the house, although at first it seemed like a good job was done when checking them the next day (couldn't check before they...

We have these gaps between our window frame and trim. Is this something to be concerned about or is it normal?

Would anyone be able to advise me? We have a bay window and water is getting in under the window. There is a void created by the plastic trim where the bay sides meet the front of the window on each side which seems to be where the water is coming in. (Pic of water on inside window sill)...

Hi We just moved into our first home today (purchased) home and realised that when the surveyor said there was a ‘broken vent’ in the main bedroom top window, he actually meant the small top window. Basically the handle won’t move at all (w40 copiously applies) and I can’t see how to remove the...

I've recently had a new Velux window fitted… squint, unlike the one that it replaced. The original window, which apparently dated back to the early 90s, sat flush in the aperture viewed from the inside and was spirit level straight (almost). The new window has been fitted at an obvious angle...

I knew the silicone around my window needed redoing so I’d planned to do this when redecorating. However when taking the wallpaper off, it seems the windows have been sealed to the brick work using silicone, and the previous owners have covered crumbling plaster/holes between the window and wall...

Hi all, New to the forum but I have used your great advise many a times, thank you for it all. I have a question on window sills. Basically, the end goal is to have a solid natural stone inside sill (new part of the house, double skin block). Do you A) Use one big piece of stone to go...

Recently we have had the windows in our house re-done, they are all upvc via Visage, after some research on checkatrade etc found a fitter with a lot of good reviews who seems legit ... The fitting is almost done, but theres a few things here and there that have caused me some concern - I have...

Hi, I'm looking at replacing my old wood frame window with UPVC, as you can see from the image. There's around 1" of cement under the existing window sill. When the old window is removed would you also remove this old cracked cement then fit the new window directly to the bricks below. If so...
