Hi noseall. I do have the telescopic vents, but forgot to mention them. How does the cavity tray get formed with these fitted? Cheers.

Hi. Can someone please tell me if the way I am fitting the floor is correct. It is the first time that we have had to use beam and block. 1. Fit DPM over the earth thats below wall level to stop any vegetation growing. 2. Lay the beam and blocks. 3. Grout the area with a cement...

Thanks freddymercurystwin. I've also confirmed this with the BCO and he said the same thing. Thanks.

Hi freddymercurystwin. There is no door between the garage and the house, just a back door and front garage door. Is it a decision that we can make or is it for building control to tell us. Thanks.

Hi. Can someone tell me what the correct height of an integrated garage floor level is below the floor level of the rest of the property. Cheers.

I didn't have the meter checked because they kept emphasising that if it was found to be fine they would add another £100 to my bill. I have spoken to some company that is supposed to offer help in these situations. I am having a different heating engineer come out on Mon to check that the...

Hi. Can someone please give me some advice on what I should do next. My boiler has been fitted for about a year now, but I don't know if there is a problem with it or not. I had a really big bill (£1400) about 6 months ago for the previous 6 months (over last winter). British gas...

Cheers guy's. I'll do a search.

Hi. Is there a way that I can control the temperature of my central heating automatically in a similar way that you can control the time that it comes on and off. I would like it to come on in the morning for a higher temperature initially and then drop lower for a couple of hours and then...

Hi catlad. I think I'm going to use the digger. It's much cheaper and I can also use it for some other ground works. Cheers.

Hi. Can someone tell me what the best way is to lay beams onto foundations. I cannot use a crane mounted vehicle due to access restrictions, so I was going to hire a mini excavator and driver for the day. I also thought that some form of mini crane, similar to a spider boom lift would...

They are insulated panels. 40mm rigid insulation sandwiched between thin galv. It's at the 90 degree corners where the one panel will have galv meeting the end of the other panel which will be insulation. Cheers.

Hi. Can someone please tell me the best way of fixing a 40mm thick insulated panel together at a 90 degree angle. I want to make a kennel for my dog, but cannot think of what fixing will let me fix a steel edge to foam insulation. Thanks.

I managed to find a 2200w generator that was in my budget. The guy said that this would be fine for what I need. Thanks for all your help.

Thanks guy's. What I was looking for was a general rule, which you have told me. I have found one that has a max output of 1500w and a constant output of 1200w. I'm assuming from what you have said that I should be looking for one that has a constant output of no less than 1650w, but...

The majority of these portable ones are around £100. The more expensive ones have more watts, but I don't really need it for anything major. It'll be on for about 5 hours per day for a week at a time.

Hi. How can I find out if the generator I am thinking of buying will power a certain item. I am looking at an 850w portable generator and I need it to power a 550w cement mixer. Will this be enough. Thanks.

Hi oldun. I have just finished with the architect/engineer and I have sorted the footings with him. The wall is a mixture of vertical and flat blocks, which will be 325 wide and I will not need to infill after. He didn't like the look of what I was told by this guy and said that no...

Thanks oldun. Yes the 57m does include two internal foundations that were needed to support purlins for the roof. The reason I asked about 225mm wall was because someone I know has done this on the last 3 builds and he has had the loads calculated by an engineer. He said that as the...
