Hi Woody. Thankyou so much for all this. I remember seeing ‘catnic’ on the lintel, before it was covered up with fire proof stuff. You are correct abut the extension not being tied in. The whole of the extension (which is a garage with a bathroom above) was new . I have attached a photo of the...

Hi Woody, Thanks for that, some good information there. I think the surveyor had intended to put a flat steel across. There is a catnic lintel on the inside of the door, Interestingly when we had an installation years ago a steel was put in and no one mention building regs. Is it a total...

Hi Freddie, of course! When the first person came to look at it they said a corner one (presumably because of the fitting, or maybe the weight of the adjacent building pulling?). The second surveyor said a straight one. So basically a discrepancy in ideas.

Thanks Freddie. Any particular reason?

Good Morning Having an external door changed from timber to upvc. Am using FENSA approved installers who I have used before. My question is re the lintel/steel which needs to be put above the door. In the situation shown below would a straight one suffice, or does it need to be a corner one...

Thankyou. We are onlynreplacing the glass and the bit of frame that the glass sits in ( its a window restorer). They should look the same but wont open. Tbh one of them is painted shut already!

We are about to have the single panes of glass out in the upstairs windows and replaced with double glazed panes. Shown on the photo is the window itself which is 220 long x 118 high We currently have two opening panes at the bottom which are 69 x 50, and two little ones at the top of 50cm x...

Morning all Which is the best paint for a kitchen ceiling and /or wall please? I am worried about getting grease off , but have had conflicting advice . Ps the plaster has been mist coated with dulux trade supermatt. Thanks

Morqthana. The whole picture is picture B. I just drew the black line in on a photo using my finger , it was supposed to roughly represent a ‘nearer’ scenario of around 450. The other one ‘much further away’ is 19.5cm according to real life measurement. Thankyou, you made me laugh about losing...

Sorry , i will try and clarify. I asked the electrician to be as near as is practical to the sides of each cupboard, which i think he said 450mm. For some reason when the cabinets were installed, one of them (see pic attached) was much further away from the edge of the tall cabinet . Not sure...

Hi there Just had sockets installed before a kitchen. Unfortunately they have not ended up symmetrical. Pic One is about 500mm from the cupboard end, the other (pic 2 shown near a kettle )is about 19.5. Pic 3 shows how you cant really see them both at one Thinking of having one moved to make...

.thanks. Didnt know if it was okay or not, Kind of expected it not to be on the new wires , and though might end in a straight line. Pleased i didnt say anything now. As i say, all new to me. Thankyou for letting me know.
