no sorry im going straight up extending over the garage. it already has 80mm cavity wall

not sure which part of the forum this belongs.... im having an extension built on an existing garage. it has 80mm cavity so i think building regs will want some insulation on the inside. it will be block and render (except the boundry wall) which will be brick. i am going to try and do as much...

Hi Ive recently had some building work done in the kitchen and also knocked through some small store rooms to make a utility room. Ive now got the washer and dryer in there next to each other with a toilet on the same wall My plan is to battern the wall on the 2 sides that i can to have some...

Excellent just need to get my hands on a core drill now thanks

Thanks mike they look ideal. Im just thinking how I get a low profile 90degree angle off the extractor to start. Then I could use what you have shown to get through the cavity and outside. Is there a piece that converts square to round pipe?

The inner leaf is block work as it is a new build kitchen extension. The reason I wanted a square ducting is that I could keep it compact as possible and hide the pipework. When I offered up round tubing the bend to get a 90degree angle meant the pipe would just be visbale above the flyover

Hi I recently had a new kitchen and plan to have the extractor fan vented outside. I have a flyover and want to keep the pipework invisable behind the stainless steel cover. I have bought a 90degree angled flat ducting kit that has a brick sized vent cover. Im wondering what is the best way to...

Hi Ive just had a new kitchen extension and want to lay vinyl floor The new floor is screeded and existing has been leveled to match up. Even though it has been done well and the joint feathered over there is a very slight discrepancy where they join. Its not really a visable thing but if you...

Hi all Im looking at having an unvented cylinder installed to replace my old out of date system. My local merchants have had one returned as not used on a site in as new condition but damaged packaging. Its a 260L vaillant unistor for £630 inc VAT Does this sound a good deal and are these...

I appreciate the recommendation Lee. That could save me a good few £££ if I go down that route. Only problem is the licence from my local council is looking like £500+ just to dig a trench in some unused grass

I think the insuduct looks promising. That would allow me to get entry with the new pipe just above concrete floor level in the garage. I just need to check with severn trent its ok to use.

This is started to sound complicated all I want to do is dig a small trench lay a pipe and fill it in Ive even looked at moling or trenching machines to keep it as narrow as possible. Has anyone used insuduct to avoid drilling through foundstions? Im also trying to figure a way out of having to...

Ground breaker insuduct ive not heard of that...

Hi im after some advice on laying a new water main. I am planning a new extension which will include an unvented cylinder. As I have lead piping coming in im thinking now is a good time to switch to mdpe pipe. Severn trent also offer a lead replacement scheme. I have a block paving drive which...

Im not a member of greenpeace although I do appreciate our planet. Im more concerned about getting it built quickly with less risk of frost affecting the build. How much more percentage wise would it cost compared to conventional methods?

I was wondering if anyone has used these on a build? I saw them on tv a while ago and they advertise to be quicker to lay saving on labour and use less mortar whilst maintaing strength I am having an extension built in Jan 16 and wondered if this would be a good idea. Im slighty concerned...

When using the taps upstairs or flushing the loo the pipe to the tank sounds like its wooshing and very noisy. I put a float valve in the tank and its very quiet when filling if im in the loft but in the bedrooms its very noisy. Ive tried turning the stopcock on the rising main up and down...

This was mega loud when it had an old float valve in it. I replaced it with a fluidmaster side entry valve which when I was in the loft was impressively quiet. However, when I'm in my bedroom which is next to the airing cupboard it still sounds really loud when filling. Kind of like a whooshing...

Hi Im trying to fix my mothers intergrated dishwasher. I replaced the heating element because it wasnt getting hot during any cycle. However this has t worked. It shows an e3 error which I think means its not heating up. Really useful code that 1! Ive read about a reset button that may...
