Hi, I have had some great 1970x2150 french doors fitted. The door gap was 2010 so a knock on was added each side. 4 screw fasteners were used each side and 2 on the bottom sill - none on the top due to the lintel. The opening door frame flexed slightly which initially hairline cracked the internal plaster and also dislodged the outer mortar fillet which was used to finish the outside. It became hollow sounding and separation from the plastic frame could be seen. The mortar was removed and gap filled with foam (initially the gap was NOT filed at all which concerned me) and re-mortared. The frame is more solid but the remaining slight movement has caused the mortar to become hollow sounding around the top hinge, presumably where there is most weight and leverage. I suspect the slight flex has loosened it again. My question is ... Should I expect a solid frame fixing ? And is foam adequate in the gap or do packers need to also be fitted with perhaps longer screw fasteners ? Or should I expect some flex in the frame and simply replace the mortar (which has a very appealing look) with a UPVC trim or wooden trim to allow the flex ? I don't want to ask something of the fitter again if I am being unreasonable where there is an alternate finish. The installation and doors look great and the flex is minor. However the fact no gap filler was applied at all initially just makes me nervous that something else could be done. Many thanks :-)

The floor in my lean to has rotted and sunk. Can it be replaced

I need to have the putty on my traditional wooden windows replaced. There is no Glazing section to post my work on the site - which trade should I list it under? Windows & Conservatory Specialists doesn't seem to fit the bill.

When i lifted the handle on my UPVC front door something gave and now the handle is completely limp and wont disengage the multilock. is there any way to disengage this without ripping my door frame apart so i can access the lock and replace the broken piece or the lock itself?

One door and four windows. On average how much? Doubled glazed WOODEN OR PVC. plus fitting?

Supply & Fit Replace box Bay window with a Bay including french doors including removal of part wall. Also remove existing back door brick lower and add a window. Would the whole job be possible by a glazing company or do i need a builder too?

Can you change roof to tiled for a conservatory, or start a new build
