So by that reasoning there shouldn't be any opening windows in any rooms because of security?

I only asked:( but thanks anyway

If you had a bulk bag of MoT do you think if you stamped on it , it would reduce to half its depth? 10 -20% compaction at a gusstimate but your ground beneath may also compact

Yes but why the WC. Is house security part of building regs now?

Brilliant thanks for that. Had a look on their website re reducing coupling and has 20mm to 16mm which may be reason 15mm joint appears to be spraying water?

Sub base stone, mot and scalpings calculator (source4me.co.uk) but depends on type/density of stone you are using

Indeed, but your hand above a fire and to one side and see which moves 1st

No, keep dining room space clear, opening into utility doesn't really affect storage capacity unless you are trying to ram it full of stuff

Which goes to show you needn't build the wall right up

Worked on C24 as if that failed so does C16. Doesn't matter if you use 1 solid joist or 10 thinner joists, if the overall block dims are the same the results are the same. Calculating deflection using different grade of woods a bit complicated but assuming all the wood was c16, deflection =...

Or that you were aware it was iffy and failed to take adequate action ??

The span/deflection/strength calcs come from a spreadsheet I developed based on BS5268 - The Structural Use of Timber which allows me to play all sorts of tunes on it depending what loading, timber size and class, spans, etc. I choose to input. As an aside the loadings used are the standard...

Pick axe and sledge hammer should break it up if it wasn't compacted down, the sooner the better. All depends if your BCO goes by the book, at the end of the day air outlet pipes only have to be 100 dia so you would think 100 deep at the edges shouldn't be that big an issue and even more so...

Not had my boiler checked in 23 years so I must be £1150 + vat better off

As per cl x.y.z of Document ? of the Building Regs :-)

Earlier!!

In the old days I believe they used paper mache ( wall paper paste and paper) shoved into the gaps (do schools still use paper machete? was used in the juniors years ago, put around wire framework to make models, animals etc and then given a lick of paint)

Know what you mean, my plumber liked banana shaped waste pipes, sorted it by putting a couple of spaces pieces in, can't remember what I actually used but you get the idea

Here's mine I did a few years ago, width was 1200 and from front of pan to wall was 22", there is a towel rail on the front wall, and even if it had been 20" it would have been OK
