Hi all, very random request, and not quite sure which room to put it in...


We need a new front door, and someone recommended Velfac, but apparently their nearest distributor with a showroom showcasing a front door is Milton Keynes.. not the most convenient from ED. Does anyone know anyone in the area that has installed a Velfac front door? If so, would they mind if I cycled over at some point to take a very brief external look at the door? I wouldn't disturb anyone and won't touch anything I promise!


If don't feel comfortable sharing an address, any feedback or even a photo would be hugely appreciated!

Many many thanks!

Ask the distributor or a local installer, although it may be that your particular model may not be availble for inspection or the homeowner may not welcome a visit (perfectly reasonable).


I've just had a lovely pirnar aluminium front door installed, it's very highly insulated and triple glazed and has made a massive difference to our house in terms of thermal and noise insulation. Unfortunately, the only dealer with a full set on display was thames valley windows in bracknell ... but they do have a massive selection on display.

Thanks Redpost, unfortunately I've tried numerous distributors and showrooms, and noone has any of their doors on display.. even tried a showroom way outside of London, who had a door to be installed for a client that I could have seen (I don't mind that it wouldn't be fixed and "working") but they shipped it before I could get there..

Has anyone on the EDF had a velfac door??


Thanks!

      Assistance Dogs - Autism: any experiences?

      By JMK · Posted

      https://www.assistancedogs.org.uk/information-hub/assistance-dogs-emotional-support-dogs-and-therapy-dogs/   hello   i’d be interested to understand if anyone.has experience of Assistance Dogs especially for autistic children of different ages for emotional support and therapy   There was a prior thread on this topic on EDF 10 hrs ago but it had limited experiences and there was a (claimed) change in UK legislation in 2019. Whilst the industry appears unregulated/unlicensed, there are several providers (approx 15, perhaps more) who claim to have fully trained dogs or say that they can help families to train a puppy/young dog over the 18-24 months.  The latter obviously comes with a need for strong commitment to the challenge. Costs for a fully trained assistance dog are quoted at £13-15k albeit they claim £23k total cost to train the dog. On the one hand, this could potentially be a useful solution for some families if such a dog was truly trained as their websites claim and such a dog was accepted in public places and schools etc… On the other hand, I don’t think that I’ve ever seen an assistance dog of this type or in this context (only for a blind or partially sighted person) and hence a real risk of fraud or exploitation! The SEN challenge for families coupled with limited resources in schools or from local authorities or the NHS as well as the extremely challenging experience of many families with schools offering little or no support or making the situation worse leaves a big risk of lots of different types of fraud and or exploitation in this area.

      Missing Cat

      By jeffersjd · Posted

      Hi there  We live on Woodwarde Road backing on to Alleyns Top Field.  Our cat Gigi has gone missing — it’s been about 24 hours now. She is a cream Bengal. Could you please check sheds, garages, or anywhere she might have got stuck please? And if you could keep an eye out or share on any local groups/forums, we’d really appreciate it. Photo attached.   Thanks so much! My name is Jeff on 07956 910068.
