Hello I need to replace this lintel above this window as it's cracked. I was wondering do I need to install some padstones beneath the lintel first, then replace the lintel? Or is it ok and acceptable to put the new lintel on the cut down brick? (As shown in the pictures) I was just wondering...

Hello I was going to put some insulation on my internal wall of my bathroom before I fix the mermaid board to the batons. I was just thinking do I need to seal the wall with PVA glue? Also do I need a plastic sheet between my wall and the insulation to stop moisture getting through? The wall is...

What do you mean by a "weather proof sub roof system"? Also the tiles I would like to use are similar to these, Acme Roof Tile, Roof Tiles : Hadley Reclaimed (hadley-reclaimed.co.uk) As it's what I have on the main roof at the moment.

Hello Basically I would like to use those ACME Sandstorm tiles that 1930's homes have, as it's in keeping with character, etc etc on a extension, but I would like to have a pitch between 15 to 20 degrees, not sure yet on exact angle. But I am unsure if planning will allow such a low pitch...

Well I returned them all now. The gardener was a bit confused over the logic, and was saying he has to pay to get rid of them, it's annoying because he seems a nice guy. So I have at least reset the situation. Last time I try and help someone out. I remember now why I don't like people.

I guess so. Also don't bother helping people out and trying to re use materials.

I think he is someone who works on principles being the most important thing. Anyway if they got fly tipped down a lane, it's ok because they are still the property of the home owner, from what I gather people are saying. Well it seems that I have already caused conflict, as he came across...

If I didn't ask the gardener they wouldn't be much use as paving slabs unless I wanted crazy paving. On a different thought If this slab bounced of his van in transit to the tip and fell on someone causing them injury. The van driver can't turn around and say it's not my property. I know their...

Well then I'll put something in the bin then ask for it back. See how that goes.

Does that not make the slabs the ownership of the gardener and thus I was ok to take them with out the aggression of the home owner?

I do it in the morning then. Thinking about it yes I should of asked. But I asked the gardener, I thought he would of been entrusted to be able to dispose of the waste. I was trying to help then out by giving them some more space to operate. I mean if you hired a gardener would you want him to...

Please don't tempt me. But I best not burn bridges. Just tell the poor gardener he has more to do.

I don't know if the damage has been done so to speak. But I am very in the mind set just to take them back around tomorrow and allow them to get rid of them. I thought I was saving the builder a job. But due to the home owners seemed to be over aggressive nature just restore the situation before...

The gardener was stacking them for me to take away. Otherwise he would just be smashing them up. I am very tempted just to cart them all around and tell the gardener I don't want them any more as they come with trouble.

They weren't thrown in a skip. They were stacked on land he doesn't own
