I dont mind that only in our back garden and 1 brick high never had a issue at all and water runs off into the aco. The issue is what's best to do inside the step . 1, totally remove step as level with the dpc 2, remove the pavers and all the mortar mix from inside the step and use bricks to...

Agree can spend forever think about something but just need to get one and relay the loose bricks and coping stones then tackle the wall. Thanks for all your advice Anyone else got opinion for the step below the door and what would be best to do ? Thanks dean

I will get some cement and sand and find some add mix and I would ideally keep the step so not a high of a drop. Do the wall tops jeed to be perfect meaning every bit of old mortar removed or as long as relatively clear is that ok ? I have removed all the large parts or down to brick on most...

Brilliant so just sharp sand and a general purpose cement ? And not really as the patio slopes into the drain now so levels are set for where it is and i dont want to disturb to much. I will eventually get redone by a professional however other things to do at moment only been in house 2 years...

Hi everyone hope you are well. I have been on removing a load of mortar from top of brick wall in garden as all coping stones are loose hopefully doesnt have to be perfect to lay a new bed of mortar, what mix do you think would be best of sand cement ? Also a load of the bricks on top layer of...

Hi everyone just had block paved drive layed and a aco drain along front of drive as water runs that way onto the road and path. However the aco drain has just been drilled at the end with no proper soakaway etc, all water from my roof also goes direct onto drive . I am concerned it will sink...

We have the room done in brilliant white emulsion so that would he the paint. If I knew if wouldn't peel i would be fine with that, will the different colour effect anything at all or will it still be fine just difference in colour. Or if given more time will it change colour and look light pink...

Going to ring lads who did it, absolute nightmare thanks mate If I paintthis would it just peel ?

No idea how old the bonding was but wouldn't imagine it was old. The white in pictures is where i skimmed it all with fine filler as the skim coat wasn't perfect. I will leave the dehumidifier on every night for next 4 days or so and see how it looks. Last time didn't seem to take anywhere near...

So is it quite normal for it to take 4 weeks or so to be fully dry ? Thanks dean

Hi everyone hope your having a good week just a quick question, had log burner fitted 3 weeks ago on Tuesday coming, it has dried out a lot however doesnt seem to be chaning now,it's where the thicker bonding was put in, the wall has never been a issue and doesnt feel wet to touch at all but...

Yeah could do that when drive is done, would you get a manhole cover that can get blocks in aswel and then just paint the rest of concrete? Didn't know whether to cut the concrete or what but think keeping it simple would be best when done. Also didnt know wether to get garage door inbeetween...

Sorry for very late reply , what do you mean by double edged pavers ? Thanks

Hi every just after a bit of general advice, I will be getting my driveway done at somepoint and also garage door replaced most likely a hormann rollmatic 2 as seem great quality and hopefully nice and secure. Under my current garage door the manhole cover sticks out past the door, only thing I...

Hi everyone , well plan was to get drive block paved recently however we are putting that on hold for moment as wife wants log burner first. We had one in previous house and loved it. I am going to build a larger log store looking for any recomendations etc, I plan on it being around 180 x 80...

One of company's that said 50mm of concrete did local Mercedes dealership etc and has been going for years and offers 10 year warranty etc. But I do agree surely think hardcore is better, I will get in touch and ask the questions about base prep and see what they all come back with. Thanks dean

That was last house I have recently moved homes and prices are certainly not the same think i am going to get a few more companies out for there opinions , hard to know we're best to look as i usually use checkatrade etc but know it doesnt mean a great deal. Thanks everyone think I prefer...

10 year warranty with hundreds of great reviews. Great on Facebook checkatrade and there website. Great testimonials etc. Just the 2 company's I have had out said same thing about using concord so no subsidence etc they say most people doing that way now instead of using deep mot type 1 only...

The 2 i have spoken to say 50mm semi dry comcrete base then sharp sand then 50mm papers ontop ? Also is it advised to drop pavement the end as I have to drive over path so may get that concreted aswel. Thanks dean

Hi everyone hope your all well , had a few qoutes for block paving of driveway and seems rather than using hard-core only under the papers and sharp sand they all do a concrete mix now of 50mm as says makes a stronger base is that normal, had a couple of contractors with good reputation saying...
