Start over if the old ones that bad: probably keep the slab as you suggest

Some BCs do require firedoors to bathrooms where needed elsewhere, When I challenged it the first time round, argument was that piles of clothes in an airing cupboard with an immersion heater represent a fire risk. TBH I simply mark the doors to be firedoors on the drawings and wait on BC comments

The old adage is "plan the lift, lift the plan" Without knowledge of the site it's impossible to say if you could even use crane (at least a normal sort of size). Genie lifts are the normal method (different capacities available) but need a solid level base or cdbe's chain block with a...

Correct information wuld be a bonus.

How about puttiing up the after pictures? That is terrible for 1 days work let alone 6.

The dpc also stops grout loss into the subbase when the slab is cast, but even without that why would you not want to keep the floor as dry as possibe for the sake of a few quid??

You'd normally screed a slab and a good screeder will produce a finish that needs no levelling. If you don't want to do that then a powerfloat used properly will give you a suitable finish

"Packers" Mr AI??????????

Some really good stuff here. A couple of things worth mentioning though: be cautious about always going for the cheapest quote especially if there's a big gap to the next highest, there's usually a reason. There is a risk of mismeasurement and divided (not me guv!!) responsibility in...

Chipboard. Stress not.

As well as the tyres. mine has proved very handy for blowing stuff down after sanding, I also use a needle gun on de-paint/de-scale duties though in fairness it'd only a Lidl cheapy so do need to be patient. I have also made up a small airlift to clean leaves from the bottom of the pond which...

Nowt: doing it for myself. Mate was on £220/day. New timber maybe £200 say £30 for spray and old wood went to tip gratis

As cdbe says: fleecing in progress. Big style. Just to give you a perspective I've recently finished a full refurb of a rental after the tenants from hell were evicted. Part of that was dry rot in the kitchen floor. All the boards came out and 4 joists. I set new plates on sleeper walls and did...

Surely it's up to the dealer if he has bought it?

Even getting permission strikes me as a loss when you've shelled out over £500 for the priviledge.

"Sometimes" suggests sometimes it doesn't!!
