I have just installed an Rsj on a load bearing wall and it is all gone in fine.The problem is that there is no space above the rsj for packing any mortar or slate.It is sitting very flush with the bricks. Is this a fail when building inspector comes and visit.Because the cut in the wall was...

Curious to find out as seen builders dropping a rebar frame of 10mm in foundation next door. Will the rebar not rust in about 15-20 years or maybe a bit longer once PH drops in concrete. Also when the walls are being build in blocks,they are using a pillar with concrete inside on corners with...

Hi, The vaillant is turbomax plus 828e

Hello everyone, My Vaillant boiler keeps giving s53 code, and keeps cutting out and starts again every 3-5 minutes. I called an engineer and he cleaned my heat exchanger and quite a bit of black metals came out.He said that this is the reason why s53 would be caused as it has a blockage...

Thanks Big-all. The slats have become loose from the cental rail,which looks like a thin vertical length roughly around 7-8mm thick. The slats are around the same thickness.wondering what caused the slats to come loose. The fence panel are rigid,and do not move between the concrete slots posts.

Hi, Purchased few fence panels just over a year ago and treated them to cuprinol. Noticed that few of the panels have their featherboard loose. Please could someone advice what i need to do to fix these.Looks like the nails holding the slats have either rusted or become loose due to the panel...

The cooker is a range cooker ,gas with electric oven. The guy purchased a big chocbox by MK and has taken connection from it and installed a new socket in kitchen. There is no rcd as the electrician said that the cooker works on normal 13amp socket or smthing. Not sure what he meant Not sure...

Thank you all. Put my mind at rest. The electrician was NAPIT approved. So basically no need for an earth rod. The earth lug has got some play in it but not loose,as i feel he has tried to squeeze lots of wires in it. I removed the cover of mcb board which i have now put back.there was...
