  1. In my current house I have wooden sash windows and there’s no sign of any wood grain. Might as well be plastic ? probably open easier as well.
  2. You can get upvc with vertical joints rather than the mitre. I didn’t think it was worth the additional costs tho, it’s going to be a very small number of people actually notice the joints
  3. I had halo flush sash and they had a wood grain effect
  4. Would like to see the lead work at the top and the rafter cuts on the wall nearest the neighbour. The roof line sits in 200mm from the face brickwork
  5. Thanks. I built my last house with those, a little on the pricey side now and not quite as red as the above.
  6. I think I’ve found them. I’m a bricklayer by trade and not come across them before. Do you think they are one of the ag.Uk Woodward bricks? Ive used ag’s block pavings before as an alternative to marshalls
  7. Thanks. I’ll look into it. A lot of the antique bricks are a shade or 2 lighter
  8. What is they name of these bricks? I’m now selecting for my self build and trying to keep a similar colour to next door but I prefer a more antique style and these seem to fit the bill.
  9. I’ve had one from them, no problems apart from delivered a day later than planned. Kitchen units were equal to that of Howdens according to my fitter. Somethings they liked such as sink unit brace was the other way up so didn’t have to be cut out and some bits they didn’t. Howdens legs can be adjusted from inside the unit rather than twisting the leg underneath. I recommend them to other people of which 4 have been purchased without any trouble.
  10. I used seamless aluminium on my last house and will use the same again on the next one. To keep the costs down it can be combined with plastic down pipes although I opted for Ali. My friend who installed it said that the actual gutter isn’t much dearer than a good quality deep flow made of plastic. also has the added bonus of no joins (corners excluded but they are siliconed on) so no rubber seals to fail.
  11. They will be alright. If your worried Chuck a sheet over them. If they’re concrete they shouldn’t suck in too much water. I’ve never covered concrete blocks.
  12. I’ve laid them before. Not too bad to lay, they are only for one course round the bottom tho aren’t they and then normal blocks above
  13. Just tip half out of the mixer at once. I’m a bricklayer and mixing with a paddle mixer tends to over mix.
