Evening all. I recently had a 6x4m conservatory constructed, with a double hipped 35mm polycarbonate roof. However i think the room seems quite noisy. I live about 1/2 mile from a busy motorway. Was I expecting too much as we can't hear the motorway from inside the house, but when we are in...

Thanks Static, I am seriously toying with that idea. My only concern is that it won't actually be doing anything. Will 300-450mm be enough? Kiteman

Thanks for the response James I lifted up a floorboard in the bedroom (just above the wall) and took a photograph, there is nothing touching the top of the wall I don;t think there is anyhting on top of it . Nah, that would split the kitchen in 2, and as I am going for a "modern" look I...

Hello, We moved into our lates 70's house 3 years ago, and it is now time to start work on the kitchen. We currently have a kitchen and dining room, at the back of the house, that we want to knock through and make one big room. The house was originally built with the lounge occupying the full...

Thanks for all the replies. I think, I will just go for the easiest option, which is to have a 35mm pol-carb roof and tell my wife if she wants to look at stars then watch "sky at night" :P :D I also posted a question in this thread http://www.diynot.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=236373...

As I am still mulling over the type of roof I want in my 6m x 4m double hipped conservatory, I wish to ask the board about the following scenario. I was going to Install a 35mm polycarb roof. One for the cheapness, but also as I did not want my neighbours to look in. I have now just spent the...

Morning. I originally posted this question in "building", but I sadly had no replies. I have now posted it in this section hoping that this is where the installers might hang out................. I am just going throught the process of getting quotes for a 4m x 6m double hipped...

Morning. I am just going throught the process of getting quotes for a 4m x 6m double hipped conservatory. The quotes are coming in @ around £10,500-11,000. (minus plastering/electrics/plumbing) My question is one company uses a K2 roof, the second company advised me that they were...

Thanks Thermo. I hoped you would be logged on today :D

I am nearing the end of building my decking project :D I have spent the day constructing my raised flower beds, and this is where I hope I have not a made a boo-boo :oops: I will try and keep my question simple:- Down one side of the deck I will be placing a raised flower bed, which has an...

"Decking boards 48 x 4.8m 125x38mm @ £1.35m " I think they saw me coming I bought 40m2 of this @ £1.60/m+vat, and that was with phoning around a lot You have a good bargain there

Well my frame is now built, i know have to order the 40+ m2 of deck boards. My research has pointed to 2 main players. Q-Deck and Arbourdeck. They are both costing in at roughly the same price £900-1000. My question is, is there any difference in quality of the 2, or are they just as good as...

Thanks LeadFarmer, How long does Bitumen take to go off, or doesn't it. I.e. do I paint the bottom of the posts, and then just set them in the hole, or do i have to leave it 24 hours (perhaps even gving them another coat) I have just phoned my merchant and he says it is £8 for 5 litres, is...

Nearly there now. What is the prefereed method of securing 6x2" beams to the 4" posts. An M12x180 coach bolt or 6x100MM screw of some sort from screwfix/toolstation. Either way can you tell me how may you would use. I also read a thread where the post is notched out so that the beam...

:D Thanks for clearing that up Thermo

There are many topics on how best to protect a wooden pressure treated post, that is going into concrete 1) Coat the bit in the ground in bitumen 2) Coat the bit in the ground in preservative (i.e. cuprinol) 3) wrap it in blue builders plastic 4) do nothing as the pressure treated stuff is...

My final question, actually probably not.Would you use nail or screws, what size, and how many per interection (2, 3, or 4)? Also would you fix the joists in a straight line, this would allow the decking screws to be in a perfect stright line accross the whole deck, but maybe a problem fixing...

approx 44 m2 :D
