Thanks all for the replies Actually they do not take any payment until the job is complete and customer satisfied.

Not sure what ‘glue’ they used to seal the join. It’s not finished yet, the internal needs finishing doors on etc, and then the frame all sealing in. They have said if, once it’s all done I’m still not happy they will replace it with a join where I want it but they are definitely hesitant...

Apologies, I’ve just spoken to them and told them of my concern. My measurement’s which I guessed were incorrect The width full is 2530mm and their longest plinth is 2500 so they had to cut it somewhere. Personally I would have gone centralised but once fully fitted, doors and all we shall...

Hi All We are currently having fitted bedroom furniture to replace the previous aged stuff. They have fitted the main carcass and shelving ready for the finishing off and sliding doors to go on and coming back today but last night I notice the top plinth that runs the full width (approx 2.4m)...

I had the same thing recently too. My original ceiling was artex so had someone skim over it. Unfortunately I caught the lip of the skim when I installed a new loft hatch/ladders and it cracked the skim. I decided to take as much off as possible, board over it and skim it again on new boarding...

I built an outside shed, timber framed insulated and same roof as you are considering. If it were me I’d complete it in brick & breeze instead of having a break halfway up, just to keep the same material and thermal properties throughout. If you can afford it keep it the same. Later you could...

Yes your correct, miscounted the photos

Alternatively, some mirrors come with a shaver socket so could i ‘repurpose‘ the current socket wiring and reroute it for the mirror itself?

Hello All I’m looking to move a bathroom mirrored cabinet and replace it with a mirror due to it sticking out too far. I would like one which is heated and built in bluetooth speaker maybe. Problem is the nearest power supply would be a shaver plug which is concealed in a bathroom storage unit...

I gave Velux a call. They basically confirmed what you said and the bonus being you can programme them to work in conjunction with my original touch screen controller. That seems to be the most efficient way to go and saves disturbing the current frame & flashing. Thanks for the heads up...

I’ll have a look and see how viable that is if available. If it’s too much faff it might be easier fitting a purpose made unit.

Hi All, about 5 years ago i completed an extension to the home and at that time i had fitted 3 x MK04 velux centre pivot openers on the pitched roof. At the time my budget afforded me only 2 manual and 1 x electric. To be honest i wished i’d have fitted all electric! Anyhow, I'm in a position to...

Thank you, I wasnt aware of the CCTV systems either, I thought they were all wifi these day :D My downpipes are white so white conduit behind would be an issue if i go that route or just to tack it in place.

Excellent, thank you. I was unaware of the fact you could purchase external grade cable, so thats a great help. The only thing I know I cannot personally do is crimp the connectors to each end, tried before but in all honesty I would prefer to rely on someone with experience to do it to prevent...
