    Internal door hanging tolerances

    My guess is that if the gap is large when the door is shut then maybe the flooring is not level and when you open the door to a certain point it is tighter, this is down to the joists not being levelled properly. Only a guess though

    Pressure washing new build houses

    A big self generating power wash, lots of brick acid, very long hoses, long reach bolster bars, big lances, lots of PPE, lots of method statements and risk assessments and the ability to be at 3 places at once and then have nothing the week after

    approx cost to correctly insulate roof

    Ask whoever is doing the roof, they will be able to do it cheapest as they are doing the reroof, they won't want to provide scaffolding and access/time for someone else to nip up while the roof is off

    Raising UPVC door due to new carpet

    Take the fixings out of the door and cut the sealant off, then wedge the frame up a bit and refix in new holes, if there's not much room to go up then take out the whole door and frame cut 10-15mm off the top then refit higher :mrgreen:
