Hi Just wondering if any one had any knowledge of this type of construction and how the cost compares to traditional retaining walls? Cheers

Hi I have angle grinders of all sizes but am worried about cutting a straight line as the cut side needs to go up against a unit. and you only get one chance. Big al I did google the reducers but didnt come up with anything.

Thanks for the advice. Sounds plausible. I'll look into it may have to hire one. Still wouldn't mind if you can get these reducers?

I think this wall, if it is attached to the next door in any way would class as a party wall. I'm pretty sure it is a legal requirement to give your neighbor notice of any work that may effect their wall. The two month notice is very rarely seen out as next door usually say yeah or no within a...

Hi I need to cut some granite (Work top) and the best tool I have for this is a circular saw. But the saw has a bore of 16mm and the blades I need have a bore of 22.23mm. Does any one know of either where I can get a reducer from 22mm down to 16mm. Or know a better way of cutting granite, I...

It looks to me like there may have been stone stone coins in the corner and rather than repair they have put some brick in?

Hi you don't say what grade these joists are as if they are C24 you can get a bit extra out of em.

I agree with Wessex101 theres not an SE I know that would just blindly say stick a load bearing wall on top of quarry tiles and that will be ok. If it is in line with an old wall position there is obviously footing under it? Is there something missing here?

This is an interesting post. But am I missing something? what made the SE assume that a supporting wall built randomly would be ok without foundations? I take it this new wall has not been built in an area where there once was a wall? and are you also saying that 50mm underneath your kitchen...

I think it depends on who you have asked i.e. stone masons will be 100 per m. I agree with noseall 40 per m is about right no one will do it for 18 to 20. Given that they have to rebed 8m or 100 bricks I would say £600 would be fair.

There should be a calculation that comes with the calculation for the beam that shows that the bearing is adequate it is likely that the brick work is adequate. If not then as long as the load can spread down to the foundations it may just be a case of inserting a padstone under it. A pier is...

Cheers The shower is only a couple of weeks old and only osed a few times. I can turn the valve but it does nothing? I guess your saying that its knackered. Andy

I have managed to remove most of it I finally got to this which is held on by a clip [/img]

Hi Thanks for the quick replies When removing the main on off handle I can only see one screw which only turns 45 degrees When turning it it does nothing to the flow of water ?

Hi I have this F3211000CP installed When I tried to turn it on it was stiff but went to the on position but no water came out When I turned it to the off position the water started coming out Now the on off switch is loose and the water won't turn off HELP

Hi Just wondering if it is possible to reuse the frames from my existing windows that are built quite heavily into the brickwork. And make them into double glazed units. What I was thinking was to remove the existing casements then put new double glazed casements in, avoiding removing the...

Cheers big all Ill have to gig out the yellow pages. As you said jewsons, that I normally use for everything, doesn't do it. B and Q etc do soft woods or stair parts etc So ill have a look. Cheers again

I want it to partition off a stair case. I want to do a kind of stud wall effect but without any plaster board etc. So it needs to be a bit better than C16 etc I was thinking of oak but any hard wood/ pitch pine might be ok the actual dims are not important just roughly 2"x2" Thanks for...
