@noseall Hi, do you have any pics of the lead detail for the ridge where it meets the original roof tiles?

Hi it of an odd question but cant find an answer ive got 150mm joists for the roof and planning to fill with insulation ive got enough 100mm sheets of celotex to do the whole roof but need to also fill the extra 50mm is it going to be ok to fill the remaining gap with 50mm polystyrene or will...

maybe the peg holes are out by a few mm

put a long level in it ;) although with some old drains you could have one foot on a brick and still see the fall

also building regs for steps should be min 150mm and max 170mm high for each step

not really anything you can do thats the risk. they do, do a one way flapper for foul drains but from what ive heard serious money to buy and the one ive seen fitted occasionally sticked when was origionally fitted which was a right pain in the ass as it was over 2m deep to the invert

i personally wouldnt use the broken concrete and thick pieces the size of two pint classes would not compact enough and leave too many gaps id skip the concrete and use type 1 at least 100mm - if using more than 150mm compact it in layers of 100mm (some people use crushed concrete but im not a...

does anybody know of any upvc window and door suppliers in the northamptonshire area? Ive got a few trade accounts in northampton but they are not window specialists or do the windows but only composite doors ive tried googling but they will only let you order through there installers and wont...

woulnt bother with repair spurs just brace the posts for the time being then when funds allow replace posts with if 6' closeboard 125mm x 100mm x 2.4m posts and if 6' fence panels 100mm x 100mm x 2.4m fence posts by the time you have bought concrete spurs and wooden posts you may as well bought...

if she believes it doesnt need building regs Id be wary that she might be a nightmare to do work for

might need a new structural report if the openings are on the wrong places you may as well knock down whats there and start fron dpm

around a 1/3 of the cost is in the ground (oversite removal, footings, foul and storm drainage, concrete oversite) if you can do as much of it as possible just dont break any existing services. The new services also are expensive been quoted £2500 just for a new gas connection and meter plus you...

if its a 150mm supersleave/glazed pipe get a 150 glazed to 150mm plastic adaptor then fit a 150mm - 110mm reducer

grab takes about 7m3 or around 16t of material and around £240 a load round my way so your looking at best part of 7 loads which would be 7 seperate days if you only have the odside space for a garb loads worth

if your set on a colour change why not plasticoat it would probably cost around 600-700 to do the whole van - no need to inform dvla as its a temporary colour (same as vinyl wrap only sprayed on) then get sign writing letters added to it
