Thanks guys - would rather not strap if possible. Been trying to search the internet and found this interesting document. http://www.fdean.gov.uk/media/Assets/Planning-BC/documents/approved%20documents/EXTENSION_GUIDANCE_JUNE_2011_AMEND_2.pdf Page 36, Table 11, says a 7x2 will span...

Independent ceiling at 400mm centres, span of 4m. Will hold 2 x 12.5mm fireboard - total plasterboard weight 20kg/m3. Also some insulation taking the total static load to less than 30kg/m3. No live load as the floor will remian in situ above. Are there any tables for the size of ceiling...

I am connecting a 110mm pvc to clay pipe and the connection of the clay pipe to the drain itself has failed, which I guess is fairly common. Essentially it is intact, it is just the the larger "collar" type connection which is still connected to the drain. I can set it against the collar, and...

Thanks giuys, looked up a building regs document which stated should be brown so bought 3m.

I have to connect from a soil stack to a clay drainage pipe (less than 1m). I'll use a flexible adaptor for the clay to PVC, but is it a no-no to use a short run of soil pipe to use as drainage?

Thanks - where do you get the solvent weld ones? Also, I will be bringing 40mm (not 32mm as stated) waste into the branch. Effectively this will come to the outside wall about a metre away and connect into the branch. This will obviously mean a 90 bend as the 40mm comes out of the wall. I...

I bought one of these to take toilet and sink waste. http://www.toolstation.com/shop/Roofing%20&%20Drainage/Soil%20&%20Vent/Branch%20110mm%2092.5/d250/sd2849/p15397 I guess the smaller holes are for drilling to accommodate 32/40mm waste? Do I also need one of these to take the 32mm...

Thank you. I thougt it would be ok to extend using an appropriate rated connection unit, but as there will be a new (approx 2m) run to the new cooker switch location and then another 2m from the cooker switch to the new cooker connection plate, I was just a bit concerned about the 3m rule (is...

Need to extend existing circuit because cooker switch will be moving. I will be adding about 2m of cable. Can I use a cooker outlet plate to extend the circuit and make this accessible in a base cabinet?

Ok - do you know whether the water company would therefore want to charge two fees for one supply. i.e. should we tell them (once the houses are separate) that they should provide separate bills for water usage from then on?

Ah OK - I'll try and take a picture of what they leave me once they have done their bit next week, as I may not have interprested what they said correctly. I basically said that I was worried I would be left with sealed fuses and I'd have to call them out again when spark arrives, or arrange a...

Have just purchased a house which essentially has one half in good repair and the other half that needs demolishing. Essentially two separate houses which at some point became one! The water supplies into a stop cock located in the derelict part of the building. I wish to retain the good half...

UPDATE : DNO saoid they provide an isolator which is sealed DNO end and open other end for spark to connect up to.

Beacuse I want to use that space.

Thanks all. To clarify, I have bought a new flat and the supply is in a ridiculous place close to the floor. They will be moving it up the wall, and the CU will have to move also, at some stage. No immediate need for power, ands I haven't appointed a spark yet, I'm just trying to plan things...

Having the existing supply moved up the wall a tad. The letter tells me that the electricain will have to install new tails. At the moment, the current supply has fuses with a seal. When they move the supply, is it now standard practice to install an isolation switch as well? Otherwise how...

I have essentially stripped ONE SIDE a roof, and when I got to the ridge slates, I removed these without taking the ridge tiles off the roof, using a slate hook, removing the two nails for each slate using the hook. I didn't want to take the ridge tiles off because the mortar is very strong...

Thanks - and doing it your way, how far would you run the membrane past the batten end, just a tad to take the mortar?
