    Blocks for Beam & Block flooring

    OK thanks. I may just go for the ones that are cost effective then. I had been told by a local builders merchant that dense concrete blocks used for B&B floor are different to ones used for wall construction.

    Rodents in roof...Help!

    I am leaning towards the theory that the trap triggered and caught a mouse or rat. It has either walked off or has been picked off by another animal. The trap was in the rear of my property. Which is enclosed. I am hoping it would be a very low chance it could have got back into my property...
