house is 1954. cavity wall. basically i have a front door which is 1500mm wide. the two return walls he has built are either side of the door, and they will be used as the low side walls for an open porch. the block paving step that has been played in-between the two walls as a front door...

hi, i have had a driveway done which is ok. while doing the porch i asked the builder to build two small return wall out the front, 700mm high and 700mm out, in order to fit an open front porch. this has also got a small raised step also built in the same blocks the drive is made of. my...

to clarify, this is a quarter circular shower screen, and tray.

my problem has been that there is a small leak coming from where the the wall post meets the glass. the bottom rail and the top rail do not run from post to post, they stop short by about 6" and there is a rubble seal that folds over hedge, which in turn is then siliconed in place once fitted. I...

has anyone fitted a kudos circular shower cubicle before. fitted loads of cubicles but not one of these. having a devil of a problem getting a leak free cubicle on the wall post bases. been told they are prone to this. can't understand why they design it that there is 6" of free standing glass...

if i turn the mixer valve over to hot the pump stops. But i assumed since the flow was crap that this was the problem. i think ill try swapping the hot and cold around on the pump to see if that changes anything.

did some work on a system with one of these today. Customer had fitted months ago, using 15mm plastic pipe. Run from pump too en suite was about 7mtrs. He said it worked fine at the start, but then started spluttering and getting cold later on. Anyway he asked me to come along and tidy it up...

s plans need auto by passes, which can stick sometimes but if it doesn't have one then thats an obvious problem regardless. what do they say "always one port open,!

put it in the wrong section. mistake.

to be honest do more heating and gas than plumbing, but a friend has asked me to look at a power shower that someone else had fitted about 6 mths ago which is not working. apparently when you turn the taps on, the pump iS heard to run, but the water will run for about 20seconds then stop...

customer stating boiler lockout with fault indication ionisation pcb failure. apart from, probe and lead check before changing the board, are there any curve balls with these boilers which could give the same fault (that might not on the face of it be related) not been to to it yet but new PCB...

well, customer complaining that the boiler was locking out with two end lights lit, meaning an ignition problem according to the front cover. not serviced for ages, so it was thoroughly cleaned. then fired up. boiler went through its firing sequence , burner on then off, and cycled like this a...

Just been told that many installers in my area are now fitting gloworm vertical roof terminals onto vaillant boilers since they are more robust. I have not started doing this yet, but need to consider reconfiguring my flue for an extension, and since the gloworm is cheaper was wondering if the...

i am in the process of doing an extension. i was considering changing the roof tiles on the exisiting house roof since the north facing elevation i exposed on my last extension were in a bad way. all nails were very rusty and battens were going. this new extension is on the side, and i was...

many thanks.

currently building a garage to the side of my house. One wall will be the existing house wall and the other a new cavity wall. i intend putting in a horizontal DPC above the pitched roof, overlapping each end, as per the drawings. However can someone clarify for me what i have to do regarding...

our house is a semi and shares a drive with the house to the left as you look at it. the ground slopes down from left to right, but also from the rear to the front. the original DPC was practically at ground level when it was built in 1954, for reasons i cannot answer. i built an extension on...

sorry i should have made this easier to understand. i have just done the footings and now measuring up to brick up to DPC. the issue is that the driveway floor level (which i share with next door) is basically 2 inches below the existing house DPC level at the front where the garage door is...

currently building an extension which will include an integral garage. the site has multiple levels and to find a compromise has been difficult. however, building regs state that as long as i get at least 100mm drop from the utility finished floor level to the garage floor finished level then...

Wrong box sorry.
