Putting in new windows and doors - costs? by noel6
Hi all Can anyone give us some idea on costs for putting in new PVC windows into a house in the VT region and also PVC exterior doors and what experience you have had and also any recommendations? Thanks in advance
The big cracks around the window frames are still there but we did manage to get new windows in a way I didn't feel would risk the structural integrity of the house. The windows themselves were disintegrating but the thick outer frames which I think ... Read More

Has anyone had any experience with this company please. Curious on your thoughts

Plumber in Dobrich / General Toshevo? by stevewiltshire01
Happy New Year all. Can anyone suggest a plumber - I live 30 minutes from Dobrich. External stopcock needs replacing or repairing. Fairly urgent because I can't turn the water on! Grateful for any suggestions - thanks.
Glad you found someone! Our place is in the Toshevo area but I can't really recommend the builder we used who did the plumbing! Read More

Happy new year!
I hope everyone achieves their hopes and goals for 2026! Read More

One year would be enough to get us through to me getting my OAP, so I could then apply for the pensioner D visa.There doesn't seem to be a great deal of information about what documentation is required, but I think I could qualify under the third ... Read More
