Ok so concrete slab directly on top of the concrete base, then place the joists on top of the slabs? Cheers

hi any help would be appreciated. I'm looking to construct some decking on top of concrete, would using cut up bits of timber (treated) on top of a dpc strip, and then the decking joists on top of the cut up bits so it's then spaced off the ground a few inches work? Obviously I wouldn't want...

After a few phone calls I have found out planning permission is required, as my new fence will be over the 2 metre Mark from original ground level, So having to fill forms out and go with the planning application. I never thought and so many other people thought planning permission would be...

Hi yep will do. I've been told by a few people that planning wouldn't be needed as the neighbours other fence is the height our new ones would be, so although we would be a few feet higher we wouldnt be looking in there garden. The retaining wall would be either sleepers or brickwork, it's...

Thanks ken. I am atm trying to get in contact with my local council but is proving difficult to get through to them, as I saw this by googling I thought maybe they could share a bit of info until I can get through.

Hi did you ever get an answer on this regarding if planning was needed as I'm due to do the same sort of thing but struggling to find information if planning is actually needed or not?

Yeah the fence would be 6ft original level, then as the garden goes down (this is where it needs levelling of 500mm or so) then another 6ft on top of this unless the fence panels were to be 4ft.

Lol. Thanks I'll have a look at the link. Didn't know what else to call it other than a christmas tree.

Hi when is the best time of year to prune a Xmas tree. I have one in my garden that is getting rather large. Thanks

Hi all Do hinges for a internal door need to go on a certain side of the door? I thought 1 side of the door was hollow for the lock etc. Thanks

No it's not thermalite, I just thought that as it is very thin getting fixing would be hard, or it would just pop out the other side. One way to find out would be to get drilling I suppose. Many thanks :D

Thanks. Yeh I've seen lots of builders use plywood as a sub floor then either laminate or carpet on top. I may not even put laminate down I'm a bit undecided with that. As the single skin is only a few inches I didn't think you would get a decent fixing to fix the wall to this in places.
