  1. Thanks nod , appreciated. Regards Lee
  2. Hi all, it's been a while for me on here . I have a question about upvc frame extenders on a window, my brick opening for the window is 820mm wide by 1745mm tall and I need a fire escape window but with that width I limited to French windows with a fixed pane on top or a tilt n turn and I don't want one of those. Could I get a 700mm wide window and make the difference with frame extenders as doing this is i can get a fire escape hinged side hung window with a fixed pane on top and save myself £300 price difference over the French windows. Regards lee
  3. Double arm 12 inch frame , Hamilton green medium pile roller sleeves, any scuttles just make sure they take a double arm roller but for me personally go to a dulux trade centre as their gear is no more expensive than the rest and nicer to use.
  4. Karndean looselay and longboard are @ 4.5mm thick and can be glued down albeit with their tackifier.
  5. Lots of Karndean are actually thicker than you stated so just keep an eye out.
  6. Welcome , plenty of knowledge on here not from me though and good luck with your build
  7. https://www.screwfix.com/p/ronseal-high-performance-wood-filler-natural-550g/51811 Two pack wood filler would be fine for the job, don't sand it just fill flush or wood glue and sawdust.
  8. Have you tried turpentine ???? I have always had good results with this .
  9. +1 for that being a possible reason, my dad was a bricky his entire life and often spoke of this .
  10. Ever heard of a hospital job it could be yours, Through various trades I heard this spoken often as the tradesman would take the job on and use it in emergency s only i.e: if they were let down on their current job with materials being late or other tradesman not finished so they couldn't do their work or a rain stops play work day then it would be lets go to that job and keep him happy for a day . On a serious note I feel for you and its not good practise when they don't even contact you.
  11. +1 for Nitrile gloves. Unigloves kooltouch are a little thicker and less prone to tearing.
  12. Needs must but since telescopic steps over stairs is never a headache.
  13. For stairs and I have been in a domestic and commercial setting for over 25 years you can't beat a telescopic ladder for stairs . Before they were invented I looked pretty silly taking one half of a full size double ladder through the house to use .
  14. Nightmare when somebody paints upvc there is ways and means to overcome this but the cost of products ,you have made the right and quickest approach - just replace it.
