Hi all just after some advice please. We have had a side extension and now what was the landing window is to become the door way/hall way. Unfortunately the window is off centre to the required hall way so I've got to put a new lintel in above the window which means it has to be wider. The...

Thanks George There will be approx 10 joists I think going onto this steel. The wrapping of the hanger I was going to wrap over the top of the wood packed into the steel, not a wood plate on top.

Hi all, we are knocking through from old kitchen to extension soon. I have had calcs done and they spec a 178x102x19 RSJ I want it to sit high enough so the ceiling is flush from old to new. I cant quite decided or figure out the best/optimum way to attach the new joists. Do I bolt a timber to...

NO man hole in straight line. Footings were not shuttered out to allow for the pipe to be lower - took builders advice on this and he seemed to think this was standard and acceptable.

Hi all, just after a bit of clarification/knowledge before I contact my BI (ha's not very approachable) I need to lay new waste through the extension floor slab. I am not sure how is best to do this. Do I lay the pipes at correct fall rate on 100mm bed or pea gravel, box it all in, do the rest...

Sorry the width of ext is 4m the front to back is 8. By having a ridge and midd tie support beam the spans then becomes 2 sets of 4m tie beams braced to the middle support

Hi, I am having gable to gable side extension. Traditional built-in place roof system with top ridge and rafters on this would be easiest (going as DIY as possible) but the span is 8m, i've been advised you put a lower tie beam support beam in from gable to gable. Has anyone got any pictures of...

Hi all. We are going to get a log burner installed. The chimney is a pre fab concrete pipes system with 7inch diametertje drive requires 5inch. We've been advised that we don't need a 5inch Flexi liner as there's not much point as long as the smoke test is okay. What's anyone's thoughts? Thanks...

I can't get to the bottom.edges add they seem.So sit below next doors soil. It was all badly built i think. I don't put a car in it so height isn't much of a problem. I just wondered if water would get in under the new slab if it will cause problems

Hi all. I've a sectional garage that is leaking from.under the sections that touch the base. I cannot put drainage in around the whole building I thought maybe I could just raise the floor by say 100mm though how would I stop the water coming in under the sections and not the new floor? Any...

Inside of my kettle is fine, no scale. The flow of water is the same as it was 4 weeks ago before any problem with the shower. I can't understand why the temperture control work in low and medium settings but not the high setting?

Hi all, not sure if electric or plumbing, but my best guess is electric :D Our Mira Sport showers is playing up. In the high setting, its bloody hot all the way down to the last 2 cold settings. In Medium setting, the temp control works as normal. The flow is normal in every setting. Any quick...

Cheers Hugh, the plan was just to get more control on the heating and hot water (ie, 3 days a week all family are out the house by 07:30 so we don't need the heating on all morning) We are planning an extension within the next couple of year so I may research a newer system.........I really...
