is there a drip on the underside of the cills ( a small grove about 4mm deep 4mm wide ) ?

not a great idea as you have rendered walls so you will get splash up when it rains , you could leave a 6 inch gravel strip against the house

theres no problem there as you have a cavity, all I would do is lap the polythene up the the side of your house ,tak on the brickwork with some roof batten and then cut of flush with top of concrete once it has set ,job done

yep get a digger in for one hour job done

that is a painful video to watch , and as you rightly say any customer seeing you "play " with one of those things will not be filled with much confidence !!!!

dry line the wall is the way to go

I would go for a raft 150mm deep floor thicken to 300/400 under walls

does your house have a cavity ?

sounds lie a job for a steel ,ive just put one in over some patio doors that were about 5 m wide .

agreed screeding is one of those jobs that looks easy , it is not , you only get one chance to get it right , I would use a proper screeder who will have it delivered anyway .

thanks lads very helpful , the greenbelt is actually on my border and the field is just grass , the local parish council were asking locals if they had spare land back in august to review for possible building plots however my circumstances were different then .

I need some advice please ,I have a plot of land in between 2 houses about 60 m wide and 100m long its is on the way out of the village and would be the 4th form last house , however its in the green belt so half the people I talk to say you have no chance and half of them say every chance of...

you could chain drill it as a drill is a bit easier to handle than a disc cutter

no I would think cheaper ,and easier due to your services ( electric boiler )

I have done a couple of these in the past , you can build up brick piers and stick a steel on top , at joist level , you will need to check your footings depth though

or if possible cover with a down pipe

yep mostly stainless steel now , I havnt used plastic ties for about 20 years , as said before you can by longer ties and bend them down to outer skin

sounds like he might of used fairy in the mortar or to weaker mix ,it would be impossible to sue after four years I would think

no you don't need planning yes I would do a brick and a half pier each end with re bar in the middle footings 450 wide 225 to 300 deep

not a good idea to fill in the airbrick I doubt this is the cause of your problem
