    Sealing bottom of tall window….anything missing?

    Thanks for the response. I am where I am. In terms of reveals I was talking about the base of the windows. Do I put the skirting across the bottom- or something else as standard?

    Sealing bottom of tall window….anything missing?

    Yes Mr Chibs, it’s single skin. I wish I had indeed put in the PIR against this skin. It is liquid screed and the ufh is underneath. Wondering how the base of these windows could be finished off. Thanks.

    Sealing bottom of tall window….anything missing?

    Yes that is the exterior brickwork! I need advice on how best to insulate this and finish to a nice level. I was thinking maybe there is a standard way to finish this ? Appreciate your thoughts.

    Sealing bottom of tall window….anything missing?

    Hi all, I have had some tall windows put into new living room extension as pix below. My very basic question is …. What goes beneath these windows. I would like something that seals the heat in best. I have been told that the skirting around the room will cover but think that something is...

    New felt roof - Opinions please

    Hi roofing experts, Could do with some expert opinion regarding new flat roof on my side utility area. Builder had used existing boards and put new felting on top yesterday.

    Slimline Electric fireplace

    Hope someone may be able to help! We are putting together a media wall and all the electric fires we have seen are 300mm deep. We are after a slimline version (about 1500mm across) in order that the existing wall is not jutting into the room too much. Any ideas where I might be able to buy one?

    Need a solution

    Wish it was a cavity lintel. It’s the bottom plate of a long I beam that is red and has been bricked in the middle.

    Need a solution

    I have really tried to help my builder to sort out this mistake issue. He has built my extension with an I beam above the patio Bifold windows. Seemed ok initially, but noticed the exposed bottom plate of the beam outside. Aside from the obvious rust issue, I am worried about the cold bridging...

    Cold water pipes under screed

    Thanks for the advice denso13. Do you mean duct above screed? I would rather they dig the cold pipe and re locate in new location - but it would still be under screed.

    Cold water pipes under screed

    Wanted some expert advice on my extension floor. We are prepping the ground floor in advance of the insulation and UFH install. Meantime my plumber has elected to attach the original cold water inlet pipe from its previous location to the new sink location - via plastic pipe with the original...

    Hang heavy Vanity Unit on stud wall

    Thanks all. The stud wall is only partially complete with studs and noggins exposed, so any changes are easy to make. The bathroom wall is 2m across and is timber. Apologies but just checked but wall hung vanity is 60kg including the basin on top. If the unit is screwed into studs with 18ply...

    Hang heavy Vanity Unit on stud wall

    Could do with some very simple advice please. I have purchased a wall hung 1200mm vanity sink for the bathroom wall. It needs to be hung from a stud wall and weighs 35kg - much heavier than I thought! The stud wall is new, not structural and separates the bedroom. Question: is this possible...

    Beam above bi fold doors

    Thanks Diy fun for your comments. I am still not happy with the builder for the exposed metal plate and have come to an impasse. The builder put in beams and the doors were fitted by separate company. Anti rust paint is ridiculous! On the inside he Is still to box up and it looks like the...
