Books

There are thousands of books about diy, home improvement etc. Most of those listed below are about windows, but not all are about carrying out work on them. I have selected ones I think will be of use or of interest, but as I haven't read them all, I am not recommending any unless specifically stated.
The books shown below are all listed on amazon.co.uk. Click a link to find out more and to order.

Tools

If you don't have the tools you need to do the job, there's no need to join the queues in the local DIY centre . . . you've probably got better things to do with your time, but if you do want to go, check out the prices here first.
