You've got to love double glazing companies.
Sash window = has lintel.
Casement window = no lintel, window frame is structural.
PVCu double glazing = needs a lintel.
So what do they do? Rip out whatever's in there and fit the PVCu leaving knuckle marks in the carpet as they walk off.
Mind you, customers are as much to blame with their "lowest price gets the work" attitude. Can't afford to have it done properly, then you can't afford to have it done.
