They're hard work. I have a decent trailer and I've got a fair few on Freecycle where people have tried to collect 30 in a Ford Fiesta with the seats down. The old 3" granite ones are killers.

Few hundred used 3x2 concrete paving slabs will do it if you have the time to wait for them to come up locally and transport to collect them.

Should have made it sloppy and chucked a load of old bricks in it.

You would be able to trim another section of cill to go over it, but you'll need to establish where the drainage is to ensure it is maintained.

It was a loose cable in the shower.

It's all fully sealed and everything is done through the front flush panel - apart from the idiocy of the cold water inlet and isolation valve on one of mine being outside the cistern - so impossible to access once tiled in. I pulled the whole lot inside the cistern.

My Miele is hot feed (though obviously still has a heater if you want to connect to cold). It's full of all sorts of fancy stuff and I believe it does things like extracts any excess heat from the water to use in the drying cycle etc. We have an unvented cylinder with a direct pipe to the...

150/200mm of pir laid on the boarding with hardboard or thin ply on top.

Don't know what the layout of the rest is but you could just run some timber beams across from gable to spine wall and hang joists from them.

If you're doing it yourself to save money then easifill etc as stated above. If you're going to get someone in to skim it you may be better getting them to do the boarding as well - it's physically hard work (for you, but a plasterer and labourer will knock it out in no time). - they will deal...

My brother in law called me as the real electrician in the family was nursing a hangover. He'd been replacing a faulty outside light (with the MCB off) and thinks he gave the cable a bit of a tug where it came through the wall and one of the RCD's tripped (wylex dual RCD board). It wasn't the...

It's approaching 20 years old, my engineer is old school and fixes them - he's replaced the hydraulic blocks on both sides, the flow turbine and countless other plastic parts in it over the past 4 years - I reckon 7 -10 repairs. This week he's replaced a small plastic angled pipe that had a...

My man has condemned the old WB Junior in my rental property and he's "too old to fit boilers" Looking at the online box slingers around the £1,800 mark for a budget 24kw (little house, electric shower) with flush, stat and mag filter. Need a 5 year warranty as I'm flogging within that...

Just hang a few 3x2's from those (almost) vertical truss sections at whatever height suits you and board.

Done.

My brother in law has just bought this place near Aberdeen, I don't know the measurements but it was a struggle for me - I thought it would have been better if they'd put the velux above it - my head would have fitted in and a good opportunity to take in the nice view!

Yes, that was my initial thought but presumably quite hefty to resist bending - but if a strap is good enough I've just raided my scrap metal collection and found this - 5mm thick and galvanised. I think the roofers will recognise it.

No HETAS involved - being done under building regs.

Sorry. It was clear in my mind! It's twinwall for a wood burner. Pretty much like this Excuse my "drawing skills": The two braces are supposed to be 60°apart and rise from roof to flue at 45°. The left hand one can go on the hip but the right needs fixing to a rafter in the middle of...

Personally I'd have a rethink.
