    what is the pitch of my roof

    As above, use a tape measure. Then check the angle but you are right the vertical would need to be 1030 to achieve 17°. Assuming the height is 750mm the angle is about 12.4° atm. In theory you can simply add some height to get to the desired angle assuming the height works for planning or PD or...

    Workmen removed holding cement for swing?

    Well we don't know how long the posts are so difficult o comment on the exact depth but if it were me I'd remove the old concrete and I'd look at fitting the legs into holes say 8-10" diameter (but will probably end up bigger as the poles aren't vertical and you'll have to remove any existing...

    Sealant tube holder ideas?

    That wont be from B&Q it will be from AliExpress except someone has imported some and sells them via B&Q, typically anything you see that's 'online only' from B&Q is generally pretty rubbish and expensive and the sellers are not B&Q and are often pretty rubbish with regards to communications.

    Sealant tube holder ideas?

    Surely those hangers from B&Q are designed to be fixed to the wall, be that in the van or workshop, hence the screw holes.

    PIR Question please

    100 between + 25 under will be better, using 2 x 50's is identical to 1 x 100, more cutting/labour though. Don't understand the wall question.

    Workmen removed holding cement for swing?

    Agreed, the 'handyman' has made things worse, now the patch has to be joined to the existing bit and that should be a strip of special joining fabric underneath both bits and a special adhesive used to join both bits to the fabric strip.

    Workmen removed holding cement for swing?

    Surely the concrete for the swing legs should have been set a 6 inches or so beneath the surface of the fake grass? Then whatever the base is for the grass could have just continued over concrete swing bases, sounds like the bases were installed too high initially. Fixings like these are used at...

    Current distance between gas hob and extractor?

    BCO's are not there to advise you, it's up to you to satisfy the regs. Sounds like you're doing it on a Notice and just making it up as you go along. BCO's love that approach. Someone is lacking common sense in this thread, I don't think it's the BCO.

    Cycling.

    Won't it fit in the Jazz with the rear seats down, front wheel off obviously? I went through the mill looking at a long term bike carrier solution for the Golf, settled on a roof rack + bike carriers but I guess that's not ideal if it's difficult for you to lift a heavy bike up there.

    cupboard door - hi am I being an idiot or missing the easy way to get this door to close flush again? TIA

    Perhaps some effort put into describing things and some photos might help.
