Is it simple to match? Just I have always been led to believe it is difficult to match aged mortar to new with your average brick layer?

Thanks for the suggestion I had looked at this option, but again costs even more than the bifolds at 4150 to do it with two windows and a smaller bifold, and don't really want to go down the route of altering the brickwork to much to accommodate this set up and being left with the mortar...

Evening folks, I am looking at adding bifolds across the back of our lean to single storey extension. The opening I will have after removing the current French door and window will be 4150mm The bifolds I intend to purchase come in standard sizes upto 4000mm and then jump in price for bespoke...

Thanks, no the flow seems the same and the pressure is ok

Anyone?

Hello all, My boiler has developed a funny noise that can only be described as like when you finish a drink through a straw and suck up the last bit from the bottom.. that noise? The noise is coming from underneath the boiler and inky does this when the hit water is on and seems to make the...

So to be clear in my understanding the rcd unit has several switches that provide power for lights and sockets throughout the house and when I lost all power to the house I checked the rcd unit and all the switches on the unit were still in the on position. But is there like a master reset...

Sorry I have no idea with electrics, there are several switches on the unit one for lights down stairs one for lights upstairs one for plug sockets etc so did appear to have tripped. When I got back to parents house they said did I try and press the reset button. Have never had to do this before...

I have been tiling the bathroom and using a electric tile cutter for several cuts, About an hour ago I was making a cut and noticed an electrical burning smell coming from the cutter and it started to make a funny noise and then it stopped and the lights went out along with the radio which was...

Maybe a quick and easy one here, which first? Lay the underlay and carpet and the the interal doors on or the other way round?

Also noticed at the side of hatch a bit of plaster had come off revealing the plasterboard screw, this has happened on a couple of other walls in the house also, do I ask him just to fill these or a little ready mix for these also?

I'm not sure, will check when I'm back there tomorrow as not living in house at present whilst work is ongoing. With regards to the ready mix is this just applied over ther area and blended in or does it go over the whole ceiling? Just want to be clear on what I say to him to get the job done...

From what I'm left with, what can be done to sort it out?

From what you can see pictured am I best to just mist over now and then see how it looks before sanding back down etc? And what paper etc for sanding to be used? Many thanks

Thanks, although the situation was that the plasterer boarded and skimmed all the ceilings thinking the electrian knew where the wires were, miscommunication between the both of them and now I'm left with hatches in 3 rooms and want to make sure they will not be noticeable. With regards to...

I have had the plasters sorting out holes in ceiling where the electrician has had to cut hatches out as couldn't locate wires (Long story!!). The plasterer has said no problem and will patch them I'm and will never know they were there, this is how they look now completed Do they look...

Not when the original BCO said everything was fine and now its apparently not?? Should they not be more consistent on approving stuff? it's like building a house and having it signed off and then calling back to say oh sorry its not. May be all well and good to know this but doesn't make it any...

BCO visited today although a different officer who is normally looking after our build as the other was off work. He checked over our recent work and all ok until..... He then started asking questions about what had been checked so far by other BCO and said could he have a quick look around, as...

The pier is bonded in and goes 350mm deep. The structural engineer recommended it be rebuild as a solid brick pier, its sat on the foundation in extension but not sure if its on the foundation in kitchen or off the floor. Will recheck tonight although hard to tell. The other end that you can't...

Maybe a simple one here, just had a pier rebuilt to carry a steel above. The pier is built half on the kitchen and half on the new extension floor as pictured uneven levels. Is this ok or should the pier have been built on even level after the screed has been laid. Hope this makes sense and...
