Hi Guys thank you all so much for the comments, the builder as told me he didn't push it back because there was a concrete lintel in the way on the inner leaf he said when he gets the second steel in place he will push the outer leaf steel back to meet it, I doubt this was his intention from the...

I think this needs to be redone, the inner and outer leaf plus the cavity = 270mm the 2 RSJ,s when bolted tight together = 266mm One of the RSJ,s has spacers, so padstone to cross the cavity at same width of the 2 RSJ,s..but I will need to find a padstone to fit, the SE asks for 400mm x 100 x...

Sorry Tony about 15mm off center.

Hi Tony Yes they are solid engineering bricks, I was thinking that the width of the steel wouldn't of been such a problem if the builder had kept the web central to the brick and slightly overhang the cavity, yes I agree the specs on the plan says 133 the builder may of put it central if it were...

Or both!! I have read that the web of the rsj should be central to the brick and this is not central. Thanks Woody

Thanks Woody, The plasterboard on the extention side will be dot and dab so should hide the overhang, but I was abit dubious about the amount of overhang! Would this pass a building inspection?

Hi I am having a rsj fitted thats 203 x 133 x 25 There are 2 of them one for inner and one for outer leaf they are 3.6m long. The outer leaf rsj as been fitted but I'm unsure if it's correct I was expecting it to sit flush to the outer brick work but it sits proud about 25mm to 30mm see pic, am...

Thank you everyone for the replies, Yes it's really bugging me and I doubt I could unsee it, I was thinking of adding a angle trim that sits on the bricks just above the front edge of the rsj but lower down on the larger gap side, I just want to try and minimise how noticible it would be.

Hi Could someone advise me on the best way to trim this sloping gap. I have just put the bifold in place and realised that the steel is not level! Over the 3m length it's probably around 20mm out..but once fitted how do I trim so the slope is not noticeable. The builder as done a runner so no...

Ah yes that makes perfect sense! Brilliant thanks so much.

Can I just ask why the right? And is that my right stood facing the front.

Ok thank you.

Thank you and would it matter if that cut was on the raised part of the profile or the lower part.

Hi I have Redland Regent size roof tiles my extension is 9m length the size is 418 x 332 mm and less interlock the size is 300mm wide. I can fit 30 tiles horizontally accounting for overhang I am still left with a gap at one side. Can I have cut tiles on just one side of the roof? And does it...

Ha ha...He's very temperamental, yes parts of the question were answered in another thread, thanks Woody.

Hi woody no just having a few disagreements with my builder/ roofer..I asked him to change the roof membrane has it as been uncovered for 6 months, so the job will be.. remove old membrane and remove battens first, then replace membrane refit battens then tile. I wanted a roofers opinion on how...

It a new build Blup.

Thank you for the reply.

Hi How long would it take to install a breather membrane, battens and redland regent roof tiles on a 36 Sqm roof? It as no awkward angles just a lean to extension.

Hi sorry for the late reply we have the redland regent tiles and yes there was a long delay waiting for them, but they have been on site now for over 2 months and still no roofer/builder.
