not wishing to contradict but this suggest that you can load the flange, provided a couple of conditions are met. an se designs it. both sides are loaded and 12mm/2mm wood projects out of the top and bottom respectively. and that there is 45mm bearing I will speak with building control to see...

Last time I spoke to BC I told them I was going to put a box lintel on outside and another box lintel on inside. They did say thats fine - they also said I could use an RSJ and that the commercially available ones are fine to use. Again no mention of an SE getting involved. However now I have...

I cant get my head round what hes on about.. hes got no choice though. That floor cant go in until the steel is in. My cavity in the wall I am breaking through is 75mm, do i just get 1 steel that sits on both courses? or 2 at 100mm wide. If i get 2 then the "c" section on the steel will be...

I spoke to the bricky this morning (who has blobbed for the rest of the week - no another job) and he said he needs either the floor in or scaffolding on the inside to work off. Said something about bricks not being same height or something...

ah I see what you mean now.. the joist goes into the "c" section of the steel.. I like your style. That sounds like a tricky install though.

i guess you're answering my previous question.. its moved on now (or so i thought) in that I am planning on using the box lintel on the exterior which is fine. Now I am unsure that a box lintel can have floor joists resting directly on it...

another question.. the outside is going ahead using a 3000mm - 215x100mm keystone lintel. Inside... can I use the same thing and rest joists on it? or do you have to us rsj to rest joists on?

i'll have a word with him.. he knows his trade so maybe its his quirk. I am having scaffolding on outside.. If he decides he's working off scaff and can put joist hangers in for me as he goes - what lintel etc. would you guys suggest for a 2.7m opening when i do breakthrough? a normal cavity...

its the access to install it later down the line that's the issue.. if the floor is in and boarded it would be nigh on impossible to get a lintel in. I just spoke to BC - he said its perfectly fine to put a lintel in the exterior now and another one internally later on. He suggested a catnic...

we're putting scaffold on the exterior of the building, but i'm not sure why not the inside.. maybe costs? I would prefer to not to go the whole hog and drop in the cavity lintel as I'm not geared up to knocking through yet - I don't have any of the other trades required to hand (spark / plumber...

I am having a 2 storey extension built off my kitchen. There used to be a conservatory where the new extension is so we have patio doors there. I will need to breakthrough at some stage making the opening wider and taking it up as high as possible at the same time... My bricky wants 1st floor...

I thought as much - anyone know any in West Yorkshire? i can google etc. but recommendations are preferred.

Hi All, I am having a sun room built (managing myself) The roof will be tiled, and vaulted. I want the gable window to be full height into the roof. Does anyone know any suppliers/manufacturers who can provide a window that is capable of supporting the ridge beam for this type of effort? I...

Hi All, I don't like conservatories.. never have never will. The house we bought 10 years ago has one and I must have spent all of 10 minutes in it. I would like to remove it and have a single story extension in its place onto the kitchen - like a family room setup. Problem is the...

Hi, My water programme starts at 16:00, this is immediately followed by lots of noise from the tank area, then gushes of dirty black water come out of an overflow pipe in my gutter and shoots out about 4 feet onto my garden. The boiler then trips out (little red switch on side of boiler pops...

[/url] thanks for the info, never heard of the "vantage" brand, have you used them before? problem with me is I have always bought "brands" that are unknown to me from places like bathroomsrus and they are always cheap rubbish - hence my current position. Why would you recommend getting...

Hi all, I am looking for recommendations for a 800x800-1100 shower enclosure. I want one that has back panels as I am sick of seals going and tiles getting manky etc.. I don't want one of those that look like they belong in a caravan. This looks entirely to cheap to be good but I don't...

Nah it's not my work.. pro installed it before we bought house.. I'm just fault finding now. BTW - just cleared NVM - prog1 now working as I want it.. timed on door and on pir in hall. Alarm fires if triggered. Yeh.. user 1 set to my code - eng code set to another code, user2 and duress...

no worries m8 - thanks for your help.

battery problably same one as install 12 years ago.. put a meter across and its showing 13v - not that thats an indication of how it would stand up to current draw. When I pulled power (external fuse) to the main unit the pir's door keypad and door chime still worked though.
