I'm looking at extending path way by 2 flags wide to create a path to my front door so don't have to walk on mud. I need to raise it 6 inches so they are level so make a slab. So dimensions are 5m long 1m wide an 6 inch deep. Need to work out how many materials I'd need I. E cement sand n stone...

Hi does anybody no what valves I need for this radiator

Hi I've noticed I have some vertical thin cracks in render under roof beams going down to window. Any idea on this thanks

Hi Tony Yes that was vertical post end. Which is now in the wall. I've noticed that the outside seems to have vertical crack in the render the opposite side to the corner window crack on the picture

It is a internal knock through for kitchen diner

Hi getting some hairline cracking in these areas from a rsj I've had installed under this wall . Wondering is this supposed to be expected a bit. Blue lines are where cracking is

Big mortar beds are as it is now. The cracks are from the 1st go they are still the same an not got any bigger. At first there was a windpost which was told to put in but got rid as other people I brought in had never seen anything like it. So now goes into wall

The cracking is from a bad install before. I got done first time. This is someone else I brought in to fix it

Should I be concerned if there is a slight settlement

Other side of wall

I'm not sure . What's difference

Hi I had a knock through done. An I have a few cracks in plaster in room above plaster is new . Wondering is it common for this to happen. As wall rests on beam. Originally was not good enough so had it redone as it needed better packing. Cracks are above the new wall. Plus few more in bedroom

Hi I think with it not being packed properly an it's settled a bit . I had it redone an pushed tight up . Just a few more have turned up on wall by window

Wondering if it's common to get some cracking in plaster work above rsj. Plaster is new above rsj in the room.
