I think I may have worked this out for myself, looks like anything close to the boundary has to be 2.5m at eaves height, is that the actual maximum height?

Hi I have decided to build a shed from scratch and its going to be quite a large 'L' shaped affair with room for a gym, workshop, garden stuff, camping stuff and a store for a trailer What I was looking to do was build a modern looking building which isn't quite a flat roof ie it will be...

Yeah probably not the most information I have given lol Gate is around 40kg Its 1.8m high and about 1m wide There is no post, this will be affixed to an extension wall which is made of the blocks The fixings supplied were U fixings (top and bottom, 2 of them). Unless there is some super strong...

Not too sure what I am fixing to but its definitely something that looks like breeze blocks 440 wide by around 200 deep and pretty heavy (around 15kgs I think) I have bought a really heavy gate which I need to attach to these What is the best method/fixing to use for this? Not too sure what is...

OK defo going to take down and rebuild. Looking at the regs though it looks like I can only go up to 2.5m which isn't the end of the world. I am going to do a flat roof. The current shed sits on a raised concrete slab of around 140mm . I will be extending the shed so part of it will be on the...

Odd question, would it be better to knock down and start again or beef up the existing?

Yes its a timber one, frame is 2 x1, maybe slightly bigger. Roof is thin. Walls seem to be sturdy enough but again probably not thick enough. Still not too sure which way to jump here, to gain some space I think the end result will be an L shaped shed with individual rooms contained within ie...

its going to be partly used as a home gym and workshop, will be heated in the winter when someone is in there. Unsure of whether to insulate or not

Not too sure what is under the felt, pretty sure it is chipboard though. I can certainly get the cladding off, is it really worth it though? I'll get some pics when I can get out there

Hi I have a workshop/shed in my garden which is around 20ft by 12ft. Its a pitched roof on the long side. Felt is knackered, leaks a lot Shiplap has a few gaps Original door is leaking and rotting the floor Windows are the normal pane of glass Strengthen the roof What I want to do (as cheap...

In the end I have just purchased some 4mm dowels which are 15cm long. Hopefully I can fashion something from these (only cost £5.99) Im thinging of placing them into some thin timber and then measuring the right height and marking these, see how it goes

I used mapei primer so I hope it is good :) Its going to have laminate flooring on top so not that important to get it mega level but at the moment its way too much, might do the packer thing though. I see there are things called measuring pegs which look ok

Hi In the process of levelling my kitchen floor. Its so out its quite unreal. I am going to get some self levelling compound next weekend, just primed the floor. The question I have is the kitchen is small, say 2.5m x 2.5m, its kind of level through the middle but seriously but has a slant on...

Yes it is but not in the same place In the adjoining room there is a light switch. What I was wondering was if I could split this feed so that the twin and earth would feed a new switch on the other side of the wall ie earth to the back box, live to the COM and neutral to the SP part. After...

This hallway is underneath the stairs

There is space for a switch, its just that the area is very tight and a PIR solution would be better (suppose i could still put a switch on though). I suppose what i could do would be to take the existing feed to the light switch on the other side of the wall, put in a wago connector and then...

Hi All I need to get some light into a dark hallway in my house. There is no power i can use for this, however there is a twin core and earth going to a lightswitch on the other side of the wall. Could i possibly use this? What i would like would be to install a light fitting up high and...

Hi I am in the process of converting a room into a studio for playing guitar and other such things. Its has a single skin external wall on one side and was going to put in some Celotex on that side. For the other walls i would like to sound proof somehow (as far as possible) and was wondering...

Awesome, who makes decent cdmi switches? or are they all as good as each other?

Hi I currently own a 27" iMac which is a bit dated, has the thunderbird port. I am currently looking at getting a bigger desk and was thinking of getting a normal HDMI monitor of equivalent size an want to extend the desktop onto this new one, I am assuming that there is a thunderbird to HDMI...
