Hi Good evening, I am just after a guide on the price of having a big Horse Chestnut tree trimmed a bit . It has a preservation order on it ,so I know I would need approval first ,but what sort of cost would it be to have it trimmed . It must be at least 80 yrs old and is about 15 foot...

Thanks Swidders for the quick reply . Regards Rob . Top up inhibitor sounds like sensible idea .

Hi all , I rent a property out and was there the other day prior to new tenant moving in . Whilst checking things over I noticed the previous tenant had meddled with the loop to boiler and had increased the pressure to over 3 bar . I closed the loop off (which he seemed to have left open )...

Thanks again Shytalkz Regards Rob.

Shytalkz ,I am looking at the big Dormer ,front and rear . Any more diagrams of them fella ?? Many Thanks Regards Rob.

Thanks for replies fellas . I guess each one is different so i will get some drawings done I think. Regards Rob.

Hi all, Can anyone tell me where I can get info on how to construct a Dormer . Drawings of woodwork etc would be good or video even . Looking to get a price for front and back Dormers soon ,and would like to know whats involved basically ,so I know where the money goes . Many Thanks if...

Thanks for the feedback Lancenotalot . I guess you cant cut any corners on this type of job.Not that I would but i would end up tanking ,then tanking again and then again for fear of leaks .I may just go for the showertray option . Regards Rob.

Hi Hope this is the right section to put this in . Has anyone got any experience of building these . Basically want to know if they are hard work to keep water tight .If I make one in an ensuite I dont want it leaking through into the room below. Is it likely to after a few years etc ...

And I thought I was impatient !!!!!

Thanks Fellas , Some good suggestions there . Thanks for the replies .

I think there are 7 like this about 24 inches apart .It is a quarter of the floor section .All the rest is 100 % fine ,with joists resting fully on rsj,s or into wall at both ends with support from rsj at the centres . Thanks neds. Rob.

Yep thats the trouble neds . I am hoping someone will say yes it should be fine as the joist in theory will still be a 5-5.5" by 3",which should be strong enough to support floor and bedroom furniture etc .!!!!!! Shouldnt it ???

noseall ,not sure what you mean there . The joist needs to go lower as opposed to being lifted which would put it further out of level .It is right at the wallend ,but to high on the rsj . Regards Rob.

Hi , I am levelling a floor ready to turn into bedroom .Used to be loft space of a bungalow .Joists are 3.5 m long and one end goes into the wall ,whilst the other ends rest on an RSJ. To get them level I need to drop the end on the RSJ down about 1.75- 2 inches .Cant drop the Rsj down so is...

Finally got it sorted . Was sent 12v fan to replace 240 v original fan . Humidity module was for 240 v type not the 12v type i had been sent in replacement . Spark checked the wiring for me .12v into module ,much less coming out hence the fan would not work . Got correct module off Airflow...

Thanks Andrew ,I see what your saying . I will ask advice off them to see if they are OK with it . Regards Rob.

Thanks Andrew . I dont think there will be any issue with changing my plans to Dormers (next doors has them front and back ). It may be that I have to re-submit plans though . Thanks Again Rob.

Jeds ,yes I am still within the time allowed according to the building control bloke I spoke to . I am not sure if I have a set time to complete the whole job now ,but I will clarify that with him next week when he inspects the levelled floor . Regards Rob.

Just to update . I spoke to Building Control today and as far as he is concerned the work has started .He did the inspection of rsj where dining room wall used to be(march 06),so i havent let the 3 yrs lapse .Small relief . He wants to inspect how I have levelled the floor now and insulation I...
