Can anyone tell me to save a trip up the ladder what roof tiles and colour I have on? I think they are marley double Romans but not sure on colour? Also I have a 17.5 degree pitch on a small extension roof and looking to match the tiles as on main roof but led to believe the marley double...

Roof

Cheers woody, hope he's happy as I'm losing it with this digging! Another quick question rather than start a new thread if that's ok folks. Spark in today first fixing and came home to notice that all the plug sockets are at 360 high from floor and light switches at 1300 from floor is this...

Now at 1100mm and I'm goosed!! Back is caving in here. Mrs holding the tape for measurement and bco said to just send a picture in as he visited yesterday but said we hadn't gone deep enough with pilot hole and wanted to see what it sat on? I'm at 1100 and still Just hit soil as i dig down...

I am required to dig a pilot hole to show the foundation depth and what it sits on for the bco, picture to follow, I have reached what I think is the bottom as the concrete starts to curve back under the extension. Am I at the bottom and is this what he wants to see or do I need to keep digging?

Thanks noseall, enough said, I will leave them until the roof goes on I think as not wort the risk.

Quick question and maybe a silly one but single storey rear extension Timber work complete for roof to go on so just currently have a large tarpaulin and 3 battens on to keep rain out . 2 weeks until roofer coming to roof it, I have my French doors and window ready to go in, would you fit them...

Thank you both, good way round the problem,.....although I have now just seen redland do a version that look the same a the marleys...only req 17.5 pitch....mmmm decisions to make!!

Thanks, I think I understand but can't visualise it. Would the one brick option not give me back the required min pitch?

Single storey extension from wall plate coming back to two courses under the upstairs window I have a 20 degree pitch, I was wanting to fit Marley double Romans which I understand is a min of 22.5. My question is can I go one course under the upstairs window instead to increase the pitch a...

Thanks lads, although you share different views I kind of agree with both, Tony spot on with the doors and windows being the same level at the top (I'm OCD with things and wouldn't have it any other way than as you say) and Woody I think you may be right that the sill should line up with the...

Rather than start a new thread, anyone thoughts on windowsill height? The dinning room will over loom the garden and I'm wanting to go about 600mm from floor level to the sill, but without it being finished at present I'm really struggling to imagine how it Will look, the idea is the dining...

Thanks tony/woody Gutted as this is eating into my door and window sizes drastically, I may be prepared to just go for 2 bricks max and risk it at that as I have already sacrificed not having bifolds due to the budget so I at least want a whopping great window to console myself :cry:

Quick question, I am looking to for a single large window and french doors to a rear extension and windows guy has suggested a brick colum between the doors and window die to the window being quiet large (2400mm wide) he said this would help reinforce it and reduce the window shaking etc should...

Thanks Woody 8) clear answer and the exact info I needed. Many thanks

Ok thanks for the advice.......oh wait a minute no ones given any :D Come on lads it's lonely here :mrgreen:

Hi chaps, Considering taking out the chimney breast on the ground floor only, it's on the party wall and my question is do i HAVE to get a party wall agreement? Also will I need planning or am I right in thinking just building regs? Will building regs want drawings or just a description of...

Cheers Freddy and Woody also, feel like I'm in planning/building regs therapy and you lot are my psychiatrists :mrgreen:

Cheers Tony, appreciate what you are saying, just want to get on with it and thought this would have been pretty straight forward, but learning fast that when it comes to building/planning/regs etc things start to get complicated very quickly :lol: I think I will consider my options again...
