I don't mate I price per m2 plus drainage and reinstatement etc

Price is dependant on a number of things and without seeing the job I can't really give you an accurate price but if for example everything is straight forward you'd be looking around the 5k mark that's what I'd charge in the west midlands

Hi guys ive been been offered a load of work on a few sites pressure washing after the scaffold has been taken down to remove snots and and mortar stains left behind having never cleaned this type of work is there anyone on here who has and can you reccomend what kit i need and give me a few...

Most fitters round here use osb myself included for replacement flat roofs but after reading through a few posts I'm not sure whether there are better products to use I have seen 12 & 18mm shuttering ply used too. Thanks in advance.

ok so im no expert on epdm but have done 4 flat roofs using epdm succesfully so heres what i know. the epdm should be adhered to the brickwork using a contact adhesive and follow up the wall right upto the flashing. yours looks shoddy and cut short into the flashing however it may be possible...

yes or no i know it seems to be popular on site but ive never been convinced due to the fact it stretches out when pulled.

Is it ok to use 3n 100mm concrete blocks in the foundation of a single storey extension I normally use 7n but have a surplus of 3n and therefore would like to use them up providing it will cause no problems. Thanks.

just a thought is it advisable to bed an rsj on a thin 1 + 1 mortar joint to avoid this ? its not somthing ive ever done although i always bed catnics so cant see it harming anything.

As said tyrolean it nice and thick

Thanks for the reply noseall I'd read it somewhere on some garage conversion site a while back and although I can see the flaws I wasn't sure whether or not it was an acceptable method.

sorry just read another article it seems its different for outbuildings.

http://www.planningportal.gov.uk/permission/commonprojects/extensions/miniguide check this link out it states you are allowed to go a maximum of 3m in height to eaves within 2m of a boundary. im in the process of building a single storey flat roof extension under p,d the corner of the...

according to permitted development within 2 metres of a boundary your allowed to go 3m in height according to the planning portal?

not 100% on this but i think rather than dig a foundation through the garage door you can plug out a bearing either side and drop a catnic in to carry the new wall in place of the garage door. this may work out cheaper than digging and concreting a foundation and also save any damage /...

There's vents you can get that have a hole the size of a biro head in them if your going to do anything swap them rather than seal them As for the mice get yourself a ferret they'll soon do 1 when they pick up its scent.

Mate that's not a standard sized weep hole and unless my eyes deceive me that video was showing a wooden panel with mastic joints between them. If you want to spend your money and time on this good luck to you. Have you been watching Stuart little by any chance? :shock:

im no pest controller but im pretty sure a mouse couldnt fit thru a weep hole most builders merchants stock weep holes of different types so yes you can plug out the joint or even better drill it out and fit replacements.
