I think I've found the DPC below the bell cast. Because the height of the first step from house to patio would be too great if I went 150mm below the DPC what options do I have to laying the patio on the DPC line? Thanks

The year 2000

I am currently planning a new patio and cannot determine where the DPC is. My extension was built in approx 2000. My feeling is the DPC is likely to be inline with the bell cast render but I cannot find any signs of a DPC where I have chipped away some render. I want to run a patio step the...

Hi, After my storms I've finally lost all my fence panels and plan to replace them with feather edge board. The existing posts are very sturdy and haven't budged in the storms. Rather than replacing the existing 75mm x 75mm posts with 100mm x 100mm posts can I reuse the 75mm posts for feather...

Thanks. Going to take a closer look when it arrives.

Hi, I have brought the following bath from B&Q. GoodHome Nakina Gloss White Acrylic Back to wall D-shaped Double ended Bath https://www.diy.com/departments/goodhome-gloss-white-back-to-wall-acrylic-d-shaped-double-ended-bath-l-1600mm-w-750mm/5059340340043_BQ.prd For any previous back to...

It's ok. The boiler is behind that door and there's a drain off valve there. If the ISO valves don't work I'll quickly end up with a pool of water.

Yeah it has ISO valves to the heater which made me think it was from the water supply. Didn't think you were supposed to put ISO valves on central heating. Anyway, they're below the ceiling and I want to cap it off above the ceiling.

Excellent! Many thanks. Really glad I found out the heater was part of my CH circuit before cutting the pipes.

It's a vaillant ecotec plus 831. Any tips are much appreciated.

Thank you. I've got to add a radiator into the room so I'll drain the system. As a DIY'er I've not heard of the other methods. I assume once I've drained it I can cap it with a compression or push fit stop end? I haven't braved soldering yet :unsure: I've drained my CH a few times to change...

We're currently in the process of remove our old kitchen and have a electric heater above the door. I have not seen one of these before! Are the two pipes from my central heating or water supply? As there's stop valves on the pipes I'm making the assume it's from the water supply. Unfortunately...

Hey. Fantastic work. I see you've put the range cooker in the chimney. Have you got your extraction up inside? We're planning to do the same at our place and have been looking at telescopic hoods that recess into the chimney.

Thanks everyone. It's reassuring to know there's a solution. I plan to place channel drainage below the bi-fold. My immediate concern was the 30mm of exposed brickwork which as 'God' has suggested I'll resolve by placing a 50 x 25 aluminium trim over the brickwork with a batten and drip groove.

Hi, I recently had a set of bi-folds fitted without a sill as I wanted to have a level floor inside and out. The frame has face drainage and a weather threshold but as the doors are set back on the outer cavity wall I'm left with 30mm of exposed brick on the base. I have a DPC on and behind the...
