:LOL::LOL::LOL: thanks Freddie I think that's what I'm going to do(y)

Your all probably right, Maybe I am thinking to much about it...I was ripped off for over £10,000 by a builder and the work in the pics was his work, and your right I could probably do it myself, I have just completed an extension that the builder left half built, while working a full time job...

Thanks for your indepth reply I was just thinking it seems very steep when I was told it would take at most 1.5 days to finish, I have done some rough pricing and can't see materials going past the £300 mark and probably cheaper if there was no need to change the chamber...so that leaves £1600...

Yes they are.

Not sure why he said a bigger chamber needs fitting as there are no extra inlets needed..this chamber runs to the older chamber.

Hi I have had a quote for £1900 to make good the drainage system...does it sound fair it's for 1.5 days work that's how long they said it would take them. I have attached images to give a better understanding of what needs to be done.

Thanks so much for all this advice, the building inspector is aware, and yes garden is very much clay. All the rainwater pipes from the older part of the house flow into the sewer, the house was built around 1960! I'm not sure if all foul water and rainwater was separated before 1960. Thank you all

Thanks for the replys, I have drawn a crude plan of how it is at the moment. So between the sewer pipe end and the RWP I would need another chamber? With RWP bottle gully and sink waste bottle gully connected to this chamber?

thank you for the reply, the pipe underneath the lintel connects direct to the sewer chamber, the rain water and waste all go To the sewer chamber.So If I get a bottle gully like the one in Nosalls post for the rainwater pipe and then connect it to a bottle gully for the sewer waste pipe (the...

Hi thank you for the reply yes the soil pipe is shown it has the black cover on, what type of gully would I need for them both and how would I connect them. I need help in finding the specific fixing I will need. I am lookine

Hi could anyone tell me what type of gully I need, I need it for the kitchen sink waste and the rain downpipe, will they need separate gully's or do I just attach the downpipe to the sink waste gully? And if so can someone point me In the right direction of the gully I need. I have added pics...

Hi I have recently had plasterboard dabbed to walls and need some fire safety fixings, is there any cheaper alternative to the isofast 18A?

Thank you for your detailed reply, I have decided to remove the offending plasterboard and get it redone, I was spending to much time worrying about the potential knock on effects, it's only 2 dot and dab plasterboards that seem to be the main issue. Thank you all for the reply I love this site...

Thank you I'm not sure if I am just over thinking everything, the base units will be 560mm depth with a 20mm door so total of 580mm depth they will also have a 42mm service void that could also be scribed to the wall to make the units sit square...the worktops are 650mm wide so that gives 70mm...

Thanks so much for your reply The wall is straight but yes it's not a true 90 degrees there will be a 3.6m run of wall units and base units with a 3.6m worktop with a cut out for the hob, I would say it runs out 30mm from one side to the other, if the base units are kept square would scribing a...

Hi I have recently had my kitchen extension plasterboarded ready for my new kitchen and after checking the walls one of the walls where my hob will be fitted runs out around 30mm from one side to the other over 3.6m How much of a problem will this be to keep units and worktop looking...

Thank you for your replys, the build was started in May 2021, in all honesty I'm not completely sure why it's so out..the shell and roof are all finished now..I'm starting to concentrate on the floor we are having 120mm insulation followed by ufh and 50mm liquid screed , I can visually see where...

Hi I have a block and beam floor on my extension its 9m in length and slopes 55mm from one side to the other, I dont think the builder knew that a spirit level existed..it will have 120mm insulation and ufh and a liquid screed to finish, is there a way I can level the block and beam prior to...

Thank you so much for your reply

Hi all I want to fix insulated plasterboard to a pitched ceiling it as a total depth of 62.5mm, will it be OK to fix them to the rafters with 100mm drywall screws or should I be using galvinised washers with the screws? Also should the boards be tightly butted together? It will be skimmed after...
