Yes it has got chamfered edges. Exactly what you said. Sorry again for not being able to show the exact picture, as I don't have tools to lift the slab without damaging it

Perhaps I didn't put this clearly on my post - it's not quite a 30 x 22.8 cm block - because it's only the outer (visible) dimensions. I am attaching a crude drawing to explain. It's got inner dimmensions and edges which I am not sure I can do it at home. It's very hard without lifting it fully, inspecting, and then deciding what to do. My reason for posting it here, is to see if anyone had had similar conduit protection cover at their property, and how they maintained/reparied it. or even, replaced it. Pavement slab dimensions.pdf

Hello, I am trying to find a way to replace two of my concrete slabs. The slabs are in fact covering a large conduit (Thames Water) runs around the street. But I (as homeowner) owns the slabs on my property. Each of them is 30cm x 22.8cms (outer shape) 1. One is cracked broken - so needs to be replace 2. Another one is sitting directly over the conduit, so I may need plumbing/construction access. So, my plan is to use ones with lifting lugs or eyes (hopefully, I am saying the right things). I don't know who can give me those replacements, and also how can I buy them without having custom made? And also, without taking a survey? Does anyone have any idea how to get about finding the right people?

@SteamyTea Sorry if I misunderstood - So you created a sort of triple glazed Window ?

@lookseehear Thanks for the reply So how do I check if the glazing isn't blown? Because I can see that the windows are not cracked or Glaze Gaskets (Rubber) aren't completely off. Sorry for these daft questions, as I never had to be entrenched into house maintenance at this level.

Thanks again. Yes my loft insulation and roof work is original. So from what you are recommending, I understand this. 1. Re-insulate the roof with 300mm - Fibre Glass or Mineral Wool? 2. Re-insulate the walls - the most needed one. 3. If Thermal profile doesn't improve - move to Windows one at a time. Also for no. 2 - How do I detect missing insulation? My understanding is that if the walls doesn't look colder from the outside/warmer from the inside - this means they're not well-insulated. But I am unsure if that's a good way to verify. Is there anything you could recommend before I call the tradespeople? Regards,

Thank you - I am thinking at this stage, what is my best investment options. Loft Insulation only provides roof support. But the walls (as you said and I had suspicion about) are the biggest cultprit. Would replacing Windows (some of them) to Triple Glazed be a better choice to have heat loss (U value improvement) prevention? FYI - I have attached some external wall pictures too - Taken from outside (which someone else also asked about).They are both taken during evening hours, and the radiators inside were switched off an hour before.

Hello, I only joined the community yesterday, so apologies in advance for any misunderstanding on Forum Theme. My house was built circa 1975 - and had the old-style chimneys. It doesn't probably have sufficient cavity insulation etc. as it does in all modern buildings. I suspect I am having major heat loss through my Double-Glazed Windows. Although, they are structurally OK, from Thermal Imaging they seem like the biggest spots of heat loss. To clarify, I have attached the thermal images for consideration. My questions for the community are: 1. Considering the Thermal Images are taken inside the property, Do I have major issues with Windows? 2. Do I need to replace with more modern Catchment Windows (Without having to go through Council Paperwork)? Regards,

Hello, I am Mac and I wanted to introduce myself to the community. I am currently deciding if I can pay (and not be bankrupt) to improve Energy Efficiency or Water Flow at my property. I will shortly post an ask from the community as a guidance for my Heat Loss problem with some thermal images. Hopefully, I am not a stupid person and thinking correctly. Thank you for letting me be a member here.
