I’ve got a workshop built on the back end of my garage. The garage has existing power to a single socket and spurred to an FCU for the light. I’d like to run multiple sockets and a new light in the workshop from the feed, but not sure how best to achieve it. Could someone advise? Thanks

I’ve got this roll which I was going to use. Looks the same as what’s up there, but a nail on version.

Neighbour recommended it but as it was my first attempt I’m not comfortable doing the top coat in that. I’d be happier taking my time slapping adhesive down and nailing it on and making sure all joints and seams are sealed.

I put a couple of layers of torch on underlay to my workshop roof and today’s rain has identified that it’s not sealed somewhere, so I’d like to get the top layer on ASAP. I’m going to revert back to adhesive to make sure I’m happy there is a complete seal and overlap it by 75-100mm (and I don’t...

Just found that it rotates... didn’t even think to check! Thanks for the quick replies.

Could someone please give me a suggestion of how to get this handle apart so I can fit it to my window? Am I missing something simple here? Many thanks.

Thanks for the replies everyone. Very helpful. As unsightly as they might be I will get some twisted straps for the joists to secure them. Thanks again!

Thanks for the response. Been doing some googling since posting and wondered if something like this would work also? Thought being that I wouldn’t have a big metal strap hanging down the wall. https://www.toolstation.com/galvanised-truss-clip/p76165

I’ll be putting a flat roof on a 3x3 garage extension/workshop shortly and had looked to mimic the existing roof which looks to run joists across the width onto the top of the bricks, with braces running lengthways between them. It doesn’t look like the joists are secured to the single skin...

I’ve got 3 2440x1220 18mm OSB3 boards to do the roof on my workshop. Dimension are 2850x2700, and I’m having a hard time working out an efficient way of cutting the boards to size to suit the roof. Anyone good at working this stuff out that wouldn’t mind giving me an idea? Thanks in advance

Anyone able to advise on this? Thanks.

I’m wanting to put a step in by our front door. The drive is all concrete and I’ve placed some blocks down as a temporary measure to gauge the height requirements. See pic. Would I be best off cutting a rectangle out of the concrete and hardcoring it (I’ve got loads) and then lay the blocks on...

Thanks for the advice all. I now have 2 lights in the loft and suffered no electric shock!

Thanks for that. I’ll give it a try tomorrow and report back.

Here you go...

Is it possible to spur it in the switch? I’d rather have cables on the joists than running over head if possible.

I've got a single light in the loft and I'd like to fit another one over the other side. Does anyone have a diagram of what the best way of adding this in would be? Many thanks.

I guess that’s important then... :(

Yes it is nailed to The joists, just.

I’m having a sort out in the loft and putting some boards down and wondering if I can remove this beam. The old water tank was on the platform which was on this beam but that has now been removed. I can’t think of a reason for it other than lazy builders (as seen in many other places around the...
