Thanks Hopefully the footings are ok but obviously ill get them checked. My sister just bought her house at the top of my road and her neighbour who is a builder says he helped the previous owner to build the garage extention and says the footings were put down with the view to extend up so...

Thanks Andy thats really useful I know what your saying. How long is a piece of string. All im looking for is for someone to say something like "ye we had something like that done it cost us £20k I know it all depends on a lot like spec, size and builder choice etc. Anyway not to worry

We have a 3 bed semi (2 good size bedrooms 1 box room) with an attatched double garage approx (21 sq m) with double skin cavity walls. We are thinking of extending over the garageto make a bigger family bathroom and a master en suite bedroom. Clearly footings and planning need to be...

Hi Yeah thats right its just an air vent for the pantry

Hi I hope ive posted this in the right forum. Im moving my tumble dryer from the garage where the is a hose going through the wall to the outside to a pantry next to the kitchen. In the pantry there is an air vent. I was hoping to use the existing hole in the wall instead of drilling a...

Thats great thanks guys

My question exactly but no one will get up there and put one on. "Cant do that building regs mate" I saw a slotted one at a reclamation yard for £15 but couldn't buy it cos no one will fit it

I have a flavel vesta gas fire and an open chimney pot that lets in hail, rain and soot etc and is very noisy when its windy I want to get a cowl to stop this but no plumbers or builders merchants want to commit to telling me which one I need. I was originally told by my plumber who fitted...

I understand the point about getting the baby use to the noise. Hes nearly 6 months now and sleeps pretty well. The strange thing is ive flushed the loo 3 times tonight and went in the loft to listen to the noise but its been a lot quieter but I bet if I did it now hes asleep it would be really...

We have a new baby so are trying to use the downstairs loo when hes in his cot. However, the cold tank in the loft in so noisy it wakes him anyway! It doesnt whistle or bang but just sounds like the water is pouring in really fast. We dont have very high pressure on our mains. When we flush...

Hi The low pressure light doesnt come on. The shower is just over 2 years old and the stop cock and isolation valves are definatly open. The filter was only cleaned a couple of months ago. It was fine until it was just out of warranty. Its getting really annoying now. If I have to buy a...

Ye hose is brand new. I kept my old shower because I reported it to triton when the live wires burnt through! That also use to cycle hot and cold so I thought id test the continuity on that tco. It seemed to be fine so Im thinking that the tco might be ok on this one too. If thats the case...

Hi Ye the cable is the correct size ive taken the filter out on cleaned it a couple of times and clean the shower head nearly every week. Its getting really anoying now ill try the showerdoc thanks for that

This is the 2nd unit I've had now that cycles hot and cold. When it goes cold it usually only stays that way for a second. The 1st unit pretty much burnt out with the live wire melting through and burning the plastic. I sent a picture to triton but they weren't bothered. Anyway ive read that...

I thought bosch should be pretty good too but I bought a set and managed to snap most of them in not much time

I have seen the Makita P66092 bits for around £36 I would just be using them for general diy, hanging curtain poles so going through lintels etc Just wondered if they would be much good Im looking to buy a bosch blue gbh 2400 Cheers

Hi. 2 years ago we had a new worcester bosch greenstar ri conventional boiler fitted with a landis gyr frost stat and pipe stat. The plumbers who fitted it wernt the sharpest tools in their box and set the frost stat and pipe stat both at 21deg. Therefore obviously it stayed on all...

We are having our kitchen updated and want to have a new floor covering. I took up the old laminate tiles ready for the floor fitter to come but found quarry tiles underneath. There is a patch about 2x2 meters in the middle of the floor where the tiles are very loose. I was thinking...

Im having a worcester boiler fitter and the guy has done a lot of the pipework for the 22mm supply. However the pipe from the meter is lead. If the lead pipe is to be replaced this would involve taking up all of the floor from the bedroom through to the landing and bathroom. As the house...
