It's 5meters x 1_9 metres

Hi I've lifted the paving slabs next to my house and intend to pour a slab to build a bigger shed and am looking for advice. I've attached a pic of what I have dug up (bamboo roots everywhere which I've removed). I've read a pour needs to be 3 courses below the DPM.. is this right? And also...

It's a 15 litre one

Hi, I've inherited this setup and during an inspection, it's flagged up that I need a Tundish from the discharge. I'm struggling to see how I can do this. Can anyone offer some advise please?

Hi, Our detached house had a standard shed down the side which wasn't really big enough and starting to rot. I was hoping to build a lean to shed sitting against the house wall then up against the boundary wall (to a pavement and road, not a neighbour). I did phone the planning office but they...

Hi, I've just installed a new elica 80cm cooker hood which for some reason when you switch the fan on it stays on the full speed..when you click the touch screen to slow the fan down it just turns off. I presume its faulty but just wanted to check as all I've done is replace the existing fan...

It's just the lever in the left hand side that's the stopcock. Just thinking about it now the water meter is on the other side of the wall. Is it there responsibility?

Hi, me again. I've just found a drip behind the attached photo where the house stopcock sits. I remember the plumber coming to do the boiler last month commenting that it was unusual. Its coming from behind the plastic but has been goign on fro a while as the plasterboard is wet through. I...

Thanks everyone, I got the Toolstation one and it works a treat.
