too right,

but who's going up there to do it ??

custy's cant be bothered to do them,  so i have the equipment and the deas a good un.

see the other thread - plummer £75 to fit a tap ?  - parts less than £10.00 trade ??

comes down to supply/demand i think

yes and they are actually harder to clean because the water doesnt run off like on a normal window so the lads are right charging more for them

jouk i bet you get this more or north facing skylights/ velux
