No BCO. It's a double garage, just under 30m²

Yes via the phone in a verbal discussion "I think UB will be okay, a 233*133, let me double check but should be good"; and was meant to return to me with calcs and document, 3 weeks ago. Now radio silence

He hasn't replied to me for over a week and I can't get in contact with him

I've a 203x133UB25 beam ready to be installed across a double garage opening, it will have a wall plate fitted and hold one end of the timbers of a flat roof, may also hold the double garage door later 2 questions 1. Is it undersized? Ive been doing some reading and seen people are using 203 x...

Out of interest, when you fit at steel height and the steel is the finished front of your building, how do you then fit fascias to this steel at the front and finish the front?

It's 6m wide 5.1m deep. So the fall will be across the 5.1m back to front (into gutter above double garage door and then into drainage leading to soakaway) I think I'll go with the wall plate option, with the wall plate tied down and some twist ties for good measure, and then bolted into the...

They are not, but out of interest when drilled are you just sitting the rafter on top of steel and then fixing through steel into wood with screws?

If directly to top of wall I get I can use the twist straps, but if directly ontop of steel, how are these secured? Thanks

Just finished the single skin blockwork for my double garage and moving onto the roof next The double door opening has a steel in position, the top of which finishes at the same level as the rest of the walls (side and back) I now need to move onto building the flat roof structure and am...

Yes garden tap has a double check valve I believe!

Diagram attached. The bypass seems to be okay (though may not be internally) I have now got two garden taps (one soft and one hard as in drawing) I attached the gauge to the hard garden tap which tees off immediately after the mains comes in, and then started turning on taps in the house, the...

Will take a look, it's this style bypass

Setup is as so: MDPE in 25mm to mains stopcock That splits immediately to an isolator then runs to softener which runs to my bathrooms up and down, toilets, kitchen sink for hot, dishwasher, washing machine etc. (the softener is currently bypassed so not active- it is a HF softener however...

Needle moved when turning on the garden tap but didn't move when any other taps went on. I have a 25mm mdpe supply pipe

I think measuring the pressure at the meter might be beyond my ability. I just took static pressure at my garden tap. Showed 3 bar. Turned on kitchen tap fully, which tees off this garden tap (extension) this didn't effect the pressure reading Left on kitchen tap and turned on another...

They used theirs on the street mains, I used one I bought (artic hayes) on my stopcock

What do you mean check static pressure and check again after test? I have a pressure gauge which I attached to the tap and then I turn on the tap with no other taps on that gives me static pressure right? What test are you recommending I do after that? Thanks

House is old 1930, MDPE pipe is new. Tested for leaks (atleast from street to house stopcock) by turning off house stopcock and checking the meter after a couple of hours with no change seen. No taps were running, what amount should it drop if the sink tap were on for instance? Thanks

Thames water were out doing some work on my neighbours water meter today. So I asked them to do a pressure test for me as I've recently noticed a drop in pressure My mains pressure was showing at nearly 4 bar, at the meter. But when I test immediately after the mains stopcock inside my house...

I will. I'm just wondering if there's a better one to do first to maximise space?
