Buy a new pair of 4" hinges then? Will save a lot of messing about infilling the old hinge recesses

Thanks guys. Well to clarify the situation. I have spoken to Building Control who were very helpful...and they have said that provided the work is carried out by a G3 certified individual then no one needs to notify BC in advance. What they have to do is once the job is complete, to fill...

Lol I would get a different plumber to look at the problem. Theres very RARELY a problem of this type that cant be solved with some intelligent input and some ££ Maybe they will have a solution to get it connected to the main soil stack

Thanks guys. Does G3 have some kind of certificate or website like Corgi does to look up registered people? Also, you say this work is notifiable? Notify whom exactly :?: :lol: (Im guessing you mean local authority?) I cant see anything saying that in the link above? thanks for...

ok guys, my Dads currently having a fair bit of work done to his house and as the plumber has added a new shower he says that the current tank is not sufficient and the showers are not mixing properly. At present there is a cold water tank in the loft, feeding a cylinder on the 2nd floor...

Glad to be of assistance. :D That should cure the problem totally...

Good progress EddyP Looks like it is coming along well. Keep us posted with pics as it develops

How tall is the building? and at what height do you want to fit the window?

Nick, I would suggest NOT to roughen up the edge of the UPVC...the lifted edge that often happens with silicone sealant does not mean that the inner/main part of the bead has also seperated from the UPVC surface. As you will find if you start to try and remove the silicone (eg, it won't...

Hi Yippee The art of removing the beading (wooden) is to do it using the least force necessary and therefore minimise or prevent damage to it (which happens easily!) A wide bladed chisel is a good option when used correctly. Use it as it should be used on a workpiece eg// with the bevelled...

Agreed :lol: http://www.diynot.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=128861 Your all encompassing knowledge and skills are very evident here :roll:

:lol: The first thing you need to do is pay £150 and get the building inspector to come and assess your 'plans'...that you have had drawn up by the qualified STRUCTURAL ENGINEER. he will then look at the plans and speak to you about the intended work. If you are simply wanting to use...

Best practice would be to take the advice of the Building Inspector, who has to be involved legally when structural walls are being altered or removed and as BIs are occasionally clueless....pay for a visit from a qualified structural engineer.

I agree totally with that Woody... very often genuine 'extra costs' will arise on a big (ish) job that could not have been foreseen... tzartisan...what is the total final price? (31k?) Based on what you have said it seems to be a fair price for the ceiling work and the wetroom... It...

Thanks Richard :D I asked for some 100mm cavity closers at my local builders merchants...and they worked a charm :wink: Really pleased with that discovery so thanks again.. Ive done as you said, used the cavity closers on side and bottom reveals and then boarded it all out using...

ok guys. I am in the process of installing a small double glazed unit in a new ensuite in an existing bedroom. It didnt require planning permission (I did ask our local planning dept). The window install will be inspected and 'signed off' by my friend who is Fensa registered and runs a...

what are the dimensions of the room Steve>? and the propsed shower room dimensions also?

ok guys. I recently got given a used Hilti TE22 SDS drill by a mate who had a few of them spare at his company. I also got given a second one that has a fault (it doesnt work currently) I stripped the broken one down to see if I could source the fault. Switch is fine. Brushes are like...

Remind me never to lend you any tools :lol: Bosch blue are superb tools in my experience. and AEG used to be my favourite cordless back in the day but Im not sure if they are any good nowadays? Anyone got any experience of AEG present day...
