If it was true then you might have a point.

I do have a point, having seen some of the bodged work carried out by some FENSA Registered cowboy outfits.

Thanks for your reply hulkiebear.

Being time consuming isn't the issue. We plan to do it in the summer when the evenings are light and don't mind if we only get one done a day. If it costs around £800 to get them fitted then it would be worth us seroiusly considering this as an option.

Thanks spooky25, I will do some research on the net. I also hadn;t thought about approaching window companies re wrong size frame, that's an excellent idea.

Mind you HugoSP's comments on 1930's steel windows forming part of the lintel is worrying. I believe our windows might fall into that category. Would there be anyway of finding out if this is the case? Our property is an ex-council house so my local authority might be able to tell me, do you think? If so would department?

I agree being fensa registered doesnt mean you will get a better job done, they only inspect 1 in so many installations
