I have a single brick wall, 4 meters high, 5.6 meters long which I need to put a new strip footing alongside of. The footing is around 5 bricks deep, but my new footing needs to be 1m deep, can I dig out the the whole way in one go? Or will it have to be done in sections? The soil underneath...

We have a single garage at the bottom of the garden which is practically falling down. This garage is at the bottom of the garden attached to next doors garage, it has a pitched roof with the apex of the roof sitting on top of the party wall. Do I need to serve any notice to knock my half down...

Roof is now on and all sorted

The first floor bay will be supported by a rsj which will be going in after the roof has gone up along with a rsj across the back of house with 2 smaller pieces attaching them together to take the sides of they bay

Yes the lower bay is been removed, we have all structural engineer reports, planning permission and are working through building control inspections as they come

We are currently doing a rear extension all the way across the back of the house. We are putting on a pitched roof, I knocked off the render to see what was underneath to see what there is to fix too, picture attached. The soil pipe is in the process of been moved into the corner of the room...

I wasnt planning on, the lower bay will all be removed, I was going to remove the bricks, frame it and fill with insulation and plasterboard it

It most certainly is! I'm showing you where the wall plate will attach, as you see the bricks are going to be useless to attach to, which Is why I'm asking the best way to attach to the wooden supports of the bays

Just about to put a pitched roof on the my extension, I am just a little unsure on the best way to fix the wall plate to these wooden supports? As fixing into the bricks is just not going to hold, Thanks in advance!

Surely as there's been a new rcbo fitted and this doesn't trip there is no fault on the ligting circuit?

If you recall what I actually wrote is that it was tested via a mcb to prove the the rcbo was faulty, when did I say that was the permanent fix? It was fixed by a replacement rcbo.

As he's an eletrican. It was all safety tested with a certificate afterwards, so I know it's all good to the highest standard

It's all done and sorted now, so just happy it all works and is fixed

He had a spare mcb of 6a so he wired that into the spare slot in the board and it all worked, which pointed towards the faulty rcbo

He was just as shocked that it failed as they never do

My friend came around who was an electrician and looked, the rcbo had gone faulty and needed to be replaced. He ran it from an mcb he had instead

All works (y)

I knocked them all back down as they didn't work, they all work apart from the lights?

hi I have this evening moved my consumer from one wall to the next temporarily. But for some reason it won't work, don't suppose any one can see why it doesn't work anymore? Anyone have any ideas?

I would go to the road and turn it off, but if the pipe leaked it's a bigger ball ache to go to the road than just turn the tap inside the house with a lot more water going everywhere, how long does a soldered joint last?
