I am currently getting quotes for double glazing for my 3rd floor flat in SE22. Two large suppliers/installers have said I need scaffolding and have quoted for it. Another smaller company has said they can install the windows from the inside, making the quote much lower. I'm not sure what to do. One of my windows is a large structural bay and I am wondering if it will be harder to do a good job if all done from the inside. I wonder if anyone knows whether installing windows from the inside in a 3rd floor property is a bad or good idea and whether there are any risks? Very grateful for your advice.

Hi

I had to have scaffolding I did it with Everest small company said they could do it from inside but the trouble with that if the fitters drop and injury someone then you are responsible for this if they say this is not the case make sure you check there insurance cover and get a copy as a friend of a friend had this happen to her

      Do star projectors work for babies?

      We had one that projected stars and played lullabies. It was a soft toy bee with a hard plastic back. I know we used it but can’t recall how effective it was.  What was brilliant was the Lulla sleep doll which has a heart beat sound. That was a critical sleep aid for the first couple of years.

      Hmmm, millions of animals are killed each year to eat in this country.  10,000 animals (maybe many more) reared to be eaten by exotic pets, dissected by students, experimented on by cosmetic and medical companies.  Why is this any different? Unless you have a vegan lifestyle most of us aren't in a position to judge.  I've not eaten meat for years, try not to buy leather and other animal products as much as possible but don't read every label, and have to live with the fact that for every female chick bred to (unaturally) lay eggs for me to eat, there will be male that is likely top be slaughtered, ditto for the cow/milk machines - again unnatural. I wasn't aware that there was this sort of market, but there must be a demand for it and doubt if it is breaking any sort of law. Happy to be proved wrong on anything and everything.

      I don't know how spoillable food can be used as evidence in whatever imaginary CSI scenario you are imagining.  And yes, three times. One purchase was me, others were my partner. We don't check in with each other before buying meat. Twice we wrote it off as incidental. But now at three times it seems like a trend.   So the shop will be hearing from me. Though they won't ever see me again that's for sure.  I'd be happy to field any other questions you may have Sue. Your opinion really matters to me.
