    Is fensa registered to the person or the company?

    Is FENSA registered to the company or the person? I have recently found that my windows need replacing and I have a friend who can change windows, but they are not FENSA registered themselves, but the company that employs them is. If they change my windows, is that covered if the one of the other company staff checks the work for them?

    Second hand conservatory installation

    Hi there, I have seen a second hand conservatory which looks to be in good condition. I'm wondering how much someone would charge to install it? My garden is paved and it would need a base to be built. Its around 3.5 metre by 2 metre and is a lean to conservatory. Are there any drawbacks to getting a used conservatory rather than a new one?

    Exterior UPVC door adjustment

    I have a UPVC door which closes OK in winter (easier) and is very difficult to close in summer. This is the door mechanism not the door itself. I've had a good look around the door and its not warped, etc. seems to fit the door surround correctly, ie. not dropped, etc. To my view it seems to have been badly installed/set-up/adjusted. I cannot seem to figure out how to correct this / adjust it so it closes easily and correctly. I believe this does not require a new door, just adjustment..!! Wanting someone who can adjust this door..!! Please give a quote..!!

    How much silicon should be used around the edge of a new upvc window?

    I hired a window fitter to replace my living room window. He's replaced the window but when he was installing it I felt like he used a lot of white silicon before he covered it with a cover. How much sealant would be too much? Also he used white sealant with a brown frame? Am i wrong in thinking he could have colour matched? Thanks.

    How to heat a conservatory?

    What is the best way to heat a conservatory? It’s really cold in there in the winter which means we can’t use it for 6 months of the year. Is installing a radiator the cheapest way to heat a conservatory? I’m worried we will be throwing away money through our heating bill to heat up the space.

    Are sliding patio doors reversible?

    Our patio door installer made a mistake when ordering our doors. We wanted them to open left-to-right, but he installed them right-to-left. We believe he ordered the wrong ones. When we pointed out the mistake, he came back the next day and turned the whole thing (doors and frame) around. My question is whether these doors will now meet building regulations? The sliding door and track is on the outside and the screws on the handle plate are on the outside. We noticed during the recent storms that the weep holes were on the inside. The fitter came and filled these in and drilled new ones on the outside of the door. This just doesn' feel right to me.
