Afternoon Guys! I am knocking down my single story garage at the moment, it was built using brick and was double skinned with a very small cavity if any then rendered, proper job knocking it down it was solid. With building regs do you think I can re use the footings and just extend them...

Couldn't locate the outside location last time, I may have another look for it. I think my water comes from my house supply some how, my water meter is fitted in my utility room 5-10 cm above floor board level in the corner. when I use tap In the garage it doesn't register on the meter so im...

Good Friday afternoon all! I am taking my garage down totally to be moved and extended, currently have water supply in there which is fed by blue plastic pipe, I need dis this up and cap it close to the house for the time being until im ready to re-fit into my garage. Problem is I can turn...

Cheers for the reply. I had plans drawn up and building regs have passed it off with the details above, they will still need to inspect it as I go on. I have quotes for 11-12k for basic build. That's without rendering , scaffolding ,insulation , drainage or services to garage, that's just the...

Hi I got some plans drawn up for a pre planning application to nock my old single garage down and build a double garage instead. They replied saying I don't need planning I only need buildings regs. Please see attached, its a basic plan showing sizes etc, its not in any great detail. A friend...

Wasn't going to no, To run the feed from the main fuse board is more like a 8m run, would that still be better as it will be rc protected when the spark changes all that? rather than tapping into a socket in the house? Cheers

Gooooood Afternoon The house itself is 1940's build, still has the old fuse box etc which will be changed soon as I need a new feed fitting into my garage but my shed in a completely different area. I have a newish built conservatory (which was built by the 'handy man' previously) seems to be...

Morning all I have created a 10x8 raised shed base with board 100mm wide. I have dug down and filled the ground with smashed house bricks and slabs, then used some bags of crush run over the top and wacked it down as best I can, its been settled a few weeks now and seems pretty solid. So I...

Last time I underestimated the skip size haha. Will a 5 tonne do it? Tar

Just taken a look, maybe better with one of themthem, one crate should be enough as it's not a massive area. The garage is being extending and hasn't got a drain either but I'll let the builders sort that one out properly Cheers

Hi, Sorry forgot to say. A 4x3m car port, ha guttering which I was going to link into this to house drain. Thanks

Morning all What's my best way to fit a drain here, added some pics. Can't find much info online. I was going to run a pipe of some sort but then it's getting into grid as it's quite high and clay pipe etc Thanks

Sorted it all at the weekend, fed from a socket on the ring main through a fused spur then direct outside, rang the cables to the lights via waterproof connection box so I can tee all three in, I decided to have sensors working separately Cheers all

Yeah doesn't look the best job, wiring all over the loft. Hopefully in 2-3years im going to get a spark to rewire my house, so I know its safe. Im getting a new garage built and want power so im assuming im going need my fuse board changed to a consumer unit, and a rcd fitted and then dig a new...

Could I connect it off one of these and fit a fused spur as these seem to wired into a rcd unit above email bathroom for the spotlights Mean I could drop the cables down from eaves to locations. Cheers

Thanks all, I take its okay to run 2 lights off one fused spur? Hopefully it'll put would be burglars off, along with cameras eventually

What amp fuse would be ideal to run 2/3 lights? only be 120-150 watt halogen or LEDS? would 3A be okay? Cheers

Cheers good to know all PIR have the sensor, thanks for info and help
