Awesome thanks! Great info appreciated

I think because we have been built into a hill, so garden level is 1st floor, there would been no room for windows etc so they could not class it as a habitable space, but it was Barratts, so cheaper to have the void than get creative I guess.

It's about 18 years, so, new build.

The other side is a large Void, which we don't have any access too. It's a town house and the void is under the Kitchen and Dinning room which are on the 1st floor.

Thanks, yes i have seen them and was planning on using them, so would you just Add the strong boys one course above the lintel height and cut the lintel and door way through both skins first, then add in the lintels each side? Thats the bit I am struggling with. I'll add Cavity closers...

Hey, I believe it's a cavity wall, breeze block and it is load bearing

Good morning all, We are planning on putting in a single doorway at the back of an integral garage, which behind this is a void, which we need access to. The wall is double skin and I was hoping to get some help on how we tackle this, My plan is to use 2 x acrow's with strong boys. Should I...

I have an Impact driver, i'll go and see if any of my deep sockets fit! Cheers

Thanks guys! I have a ring spanner with a nice fit on it, but it does not want to budge! I may have to bring out the big hammer lol.

Hi all, Got a leaking tap and after a few YT vids I thought, I can fix this... Not lol. I got the top fixings off which I then thought I can just take out the cartridge and source a new one, but the cartridge (Internals) doesn't want to budge (soaked in WD40 etc). So Can this be repaired and...

Success! Came out just like you said, thank you! And as i thought the pipe was completely disconnected because it was not secured on just pushed on with no sealant. also, they used a 3 meter hose for 12" of travel that was needed lol, bloody Barratt's!

Thanks, I thought that would be the way, but wanted some advice before i broke something, that's kinda the way things go for me lol. Thanks again, will attempt this later and hopefully where the pipe connects to the flu has just come loose.

Yes I think it will, there seems movement it it, but was a bit scared lol incase I lost anything in the void.

Hope that worked?

Hmm, that’s odd, I did that and change the 0 to 1 at the end of the url, that’s what I have always done for the images to show as link comes from my Dropbox. I can see the images on my phone and browser. Maybe I can add as an attachment as a pdf?

3 pics are in the thread, they show up fine for me? Is there another way to show them?

Hi guys! Background: So our whirlpool Extractor fan (extract to outside) seems to be extracting into the wall cavities and the smell is coming into the upstairs bathroom instead of going outside. I have had a look down the rectangle pipe from outside and all seems well, so i am assuming...

Thank you so much Muggles These look perfect! Yep I know what you mean about downgrading, if the old system did not fail so often I would not have changed, it's an odd layout here but these will be fine to balance out some rooms
