It's a small area about 3' x 4'. So DPM makes more sense.

Hi Guys We have a wall it had damp patch, the wall paper peeled, the plaster crumbled, the mortar crumbled. We have removed everything, now have exposed brickwork. We want to apply DPM paint. What is the correct order? Brick Wall - DPM - 'Blind Sand' - Mortar - Plaster - Wallpaper - Paint...

Didn't get noises before installation.

Yes that's spot on. o.k. many thanks for that.

The Building Regulations are there for a reason, the Double Glazing company needs to abide by them. So that's not down to my expectations. We can't tell if 'problems have been caused', but we've heard 'creaky sounds'. I don't think they put steel reinforcing bars. No sinking of the 1st floor...

The Field Manager during a visit stated that they were used. So clearly there was a requirement to use them.

Stop rambling, where have I said anything has been banned? I've copy and paste from the GGF Installation Guide. Surely you've seen quotation marks before? Maybe not. Wow you picked up on a typo!! That must be the 'fun' part.

I've done the Woody 'witty remark' thing. I am being upfront. The question is pretty simple, where would Acro-Props be positioned? on any of the pictures, this is just for my benefit. I don't need to elaborate on anything. I'm not asking anybody to guess anything. These are existing pics, so why...

Thanks for your response. I'm going by the following, the Glazing company insist that they used them, they didn't. We have some pics taken during installation (we were focused on something else that was incorrect', but we we'ren't aware that they had to use them on 'bay windows' as per the...

Second rule must be, ;Empty vessels make the most noise', you kind of sum the second rule up.There's nothing wrong; Except that the double glazing installers didn't use Acro-Props when replacing a 'bay window'. That is against Building Regulations.

Yes, I gathered that, but near the ends, in the middle etc. I suppose it's beyond your pay grade to provide a sensible answer.

Hi Guys I'd just like some ideas where Acro-Props would be positioned in the following bay window, the bay window below has just been chosen randomly, so I can get an idea (No work is actually going to be done):- Below is the actual bay wndow, just need to get some idea. Many Thanks.

We're getting there with this. Just to add they didn't use support jack's when they removed the bay window, which they should have done. Is there an acceptable gap between window frame and the wall?, the field manager quoted 50mm to us, I need to find out.

Hi DHF Thanks for the info. I also think that one of the small bay windows has been measured incorrectly, but can't be 100% sure because the survey sheet isn't making a lot of sense at the moment (some info missing). The width reads 530mm on the survey sheet, when measured it's actually 505mm...
