    Is there such a thing as quadrupled glazed windows

    Hi. I’m considering having new windows fitted in an old Georgian property. I am curious as to whether there is such a thing as quadrupled glazed windows, and if so, do they offer major advantages over double and triple glazed windows, and, overall, are they worth it?

    Replacement windows without lintels

    We are purchasing a 1960's property which is fitted with timber-framed aluminium double glazing panels - most of which are blown and need replacing. Our surveyor has advised that there are no lintels above the current windows - with the concrete headers supported directly by the current window frames. Do we need to add new lintels to all of the window openings if we replace them with UPVC windows and what would the approximate cost of adding the lintels be?

    Replacement conservatory parts

    Hi, I have a 20+ year old 3m x 3m conservatory with the mock victorian plastic roof (it has a small leak), the timber is slowly deteriorating, but I can't afford to replace it. Can a joiner replace the beading and what would be a rough ball park figure to modernise it a little. My max budget would be about £3k
