Didnt get a price in the end, although they said it is much more expensive than UPVC. Their site mentioned a 'consultation' and they said they would need drawing blah blah blah ... TBH I just want a price per length of Alu but it doesnt seem to work like that :roll:

Cheers MW -Just the ticket - I'll give that company a call. Shame the UPVC people havent got a little more creative with their range of colours/finishes ...... I'm expecting quite a difference in price between the Alu and UPVC.

I was looking at an alternative to white UPVC soffits and facia. Is there grey metallic finish available? Have a look at the photo to the left.

I have a flat roof which needs covering. I've been looking at EPDM as a long term solution to the problem. While searching on google lots of sites offer to supply EPDM and the associated adhesives. This site was particually informative:- http://www.diyroofing.com/ Anyone had any...

Not aware of minimum sizes for bathrooms but take a look at the information here:- http://www.ideal-standard.co.uk/homeowner/productcatalogue.aspx?m=94&s=1&r=1

Take a look at this product. http://www.drywall-emporium.com/Bear_clip_webpage.htm Cheap n cheerful solution and should give a good finish

I'd like to build a dividing feature wall. I've seen reclaimed bricks on ebay that would appear to fit the bill but as I'm a DIY bricky I'd like to have a more uniformed brick with the reclaimed look Does such a brick exist? ... I suppose you could describe it as a replica reclaimed brick...

Cheers for the update. I watched the cut down version and the guy seem to have a relaxed and easy manner explaining the building concepts. I look forward to watching the full version. http://www.drywall-emporium.com/builditdvdsample.wmv

Well watch this space, they have already conceded that they should open the valve to do a proper test. 'Probably not a service' isn't good enough for me. It either is or it isn't, I expect a definitive answer from NG. 'Probably' may be OK for some but I just read that as 'possibly there is a...

My only concern is justice. When the engineer came along, took off the cap inside my property and proclaimed the service pipe as dead, I naturally asked if he was going to turn on the valve, outside the property. You dont have to be a plumbing expert to realise that if you have a shut valve you...

I read this before but I dont see how this applies to me. The previous owners had the gas disconnected(for whatever reason). If I pick a gas supplier who will supply gas without charging me a standing charge they will *still* ask me to contact National Grid to get me connected to the network...

It's all supply and demand - the prices have come down but still expensive compared to regular french doors. You pays your money and you take your choice

Cheers for the reply - As mentioned your reply does have an official air to it - which is all good because there seems to be a lot of contradictory information. Fully understand the reason for this. The live/dead test is carried out to ensure the service pipe across my property is live or...

Just an update on this saga:- It has been placed into the hands of the complaints department and energywatch are involved. So where am I now? Well the estimate has risen from £600 odd to £1100! - seems they have now more accurately looked at the distance required to run a new service...

Recommended it!?! I havent even seen it! - Let us know how what you think of it and if we should save our money 8)

To quote from the bricky tool website A 900mm long template to receive a 12mm thick layer of mortar. This thickness was specifically calculated to cater for 2mm natural compaction and ensure that the standard 10mm (3/8") joint is achieved and securely bonded. So it seems they have taken...

Havent parted with the cash yet but budgeted for it when I need to start filling the window openings. So come on basecoat - any pixs of your handy work?

Would be interesting to hear how anyone got on with these doors.

Of course mate - It's one way to keep the thieving Gooners off your tools :roll:

In vid it says 300 bricks per hour! That sounds pretty quick to me. As they also say in the vid 'It's only matter of time and every mason in the world will be using one' So come on tawelfryn .... me , u and noseall get our order in and we'll negotiate a better price for 3 :lol:
