Perhaps DIY would have been more successful! Not sure why the "fitters" could not get the w/machine to fit in the first place as should be the same depth as the units, nothing wrong with chopping into internal block leaf but should have been a much neater job. The stop cock is a no-no (...

Are you laying this deck directly onto the existing patio - if so I would strongly advice against this as the water will have know where to run-off and the decking will rot. If you are building a raised frame you should deinately use 6"x2" and as already said this will be cheaper from a...
