I’m in Hertfordshire and I used Globe Home Improvement. They have offices in Beds and London. I’m not sure if they cover your area but worth a call? Have a look at their website and Facebook page. They are a family run business and Phil is so helpful. Great after-sales service too.

Our loft company came up with this design. Despite being aluminium, the frames take up a lot of the nice view. Cost £2250. Suggested making the central panel twice as wide and the two side windows smaller (narrower and less long). Does anyone have any bright ideas as to how to make this feature thin framed aluminium window more appealing?

My friend has Corian in her kitchen as a seamless worktop, sink and splash back. She also has it up and over the window sill. It looks great but it does scratch easily and it does leave watermarks. She had been talked into it by the kitchen company which she now regrets. It wasn’t cheap. I think granite is incredibly hardwearing if your budget stretches to it. Quartz is very popular too.

Bay windows offer a great opportunity for more light into a room. Perhaps you can share photos so people can visualise what you require/what you have now? We offer a range of bespoke Bay Window curtain poles, made to measure when the time comes for you to dress your new space. Best wishes
