LOL Good one :)

Try parting with £3k. You'll soon be concerned. It won't be minor if I get damp. If you can't make valid comments, I'd rather you refrain from stupid comments. I can only assume you're one of the cowboys who gives honest tradesman a bad name.

Hi Thanks for the response. To be honest, the step is now less worrying than the gap between the DPM and slabs. The 150mm, as I understand is a minimum, there doesn't seem to be any point of a minimum if some is going to push the boundaries. If we ignore the minimum, at some point you're...

Hi Thanks for the speedy response. There's just one step from the main patio to the side of the house. The drop to the first step is 19cm and the the drop from there to the sibsequent level is 25cm. The tread on the step is 50cm. Would you say this is acceptable? It looks like he's not...

Hi I've just had a patio laid along with some outside steps. The rise on one of the steps is approx 25cm. I can help but think this is rather high. I've searched for the building regs on this but everything seems to relate to indoor stairs. Can anyone advise on what the building regs say...

[/i] 15mm will be fine. But REALLY, you don't need to buy expensive rolls of coated pipe. You CAN use joints and wrap the pipe. Having said that, Denso is horrible to work with, and has to be paid for, so I tend to use rigid coated pipe, and Denso the joint area (wearing thin gloves )...

Hi Chris If i'm understanding you 15mm will defo cover me. As for getting the original guy back, i don't want another botch job and the hassle.

Hi Mick I'm in Leeds. Obviously, i'd want a proper invoice for the work and would also want to check that you're gas safe registered.

Once again mate, many thanks. At least I now know what the fitter needs to be doing.

Just one final question, over the 6m run, will 15mm piping be sufficient for the fire. I don't want the new fitter to do a botch job. Should I ask him to fit a bigger pipe. I've already trusted one fitter and he's fitted the wrong pipe. I don't want to be in the position again. I've provided the...

[/url] Hi Thats the one I found but couldn't find a 10m role. To be honest I shouldn't have to be looking. This is the job of the fitter. Many thanks for all your help!!

Apologies, I meant 10mm not 8mm. The whole episode has messed my head up! I believe the fitter said you can't have joints buried under concrete. Given that doitall has said 15mm can be purchased in soft copper, I'll get the new fitter to use this....assuming 15mm is sufficient. I'm now in a...

Just looked on internet for 15mm coated soft copper pipe and can't find 10m roles. Any idea of the supplier? I don't want the new fitter telling me I have to buy 20m when 10m is available.

Hi Once again thanks for the response. I think I'll get another fitter in. The bloke who laid the 8mm is very set in his ways and will just keep on telling me that 8mm is fine. I had my doubts and now you've confirmed them. Any idea what someone else will charge. The channel is already dug...
