Hi all. I am looking at fitting some worktops soon and am looking at the Trend jigs, many years ago I used the standard 35mm offset jig but now with modern surfaces the rounded edge is almost outdated so no longer need the offset hence the newer multi material jigs. Can a reduced offset to say...

Hi, sorry for daft question. Anyone familiar with Howdens oak veneer doors know how to find out which side the lock block is. Typically I would have expected an indication on the top but all I can see is Howdens stamped on one side and a few stamps on the other but none with a L or similar...

Have you taken out a self build policy ? Self build policies are aimed at genuine self builders, if you are intending to sell the plot within the first year you would typically fall into the area of being a developer and as such would need to be a registered developer.

A key factor, is it hand dig or is there access for a Digger?

I suggested that, all be it in its previous form of a periodic inspection report, you need to ask the building inspector if that is a viable solution though. I am mindful that you have used a private company for building control on the recommendation of the loft company so chances are he has an...

Another thought, you could Google the NICEIC online notification or try http://www.checkmynotification.com You may be lucky and the electrician might have registered the installation

You could try asking your building inspector if he would accept a periodic inspection report from an electrician given the circumstances, if he sees sense this would be the easiest out come. I would not recommend approaching the local council building control at all for now.

Thanks. So that rules out any potential major sources of condensation. Are the other skirtings and walls within the room giving similar readings ? Any issues on the other side of the wall ?

25% is to high and indicates a problem, I know such meters as yours are frowned upon by some but it has provided you with a good guide that is there is a moisture issue in this area.Although I mentioned rising damp you need to rule out condensation first, is there adequate ventilation etc do...

Looks like rising damp to me, the area now exposed will dry out as you now note. Can you get a reading from the bottom of the skirting if you have the pronged meter ? Is it an internal wall ?

What has he used instead is the question ? You do not need to use a specific carrier however the exposed area of underlay if nothing has been used will not be UV stable and will deteriorate.

30m2 but it is somewhat a grey area with regards clarification of a porch to the rear of a property but one perhaps worth arguing if required. Details are on the planning portal including building regs.

Timber frame house, I would say lifting points for made off site floor cassettes.

Why not convert it and call it a roofed porch which would be exempt from building regs
