I wonder if anyone can offer any further advice here. We have had a new boundary box on the road put in as the old one had been tarmaced over by the council. When they put this new boundary box in they said pressure was fine there. So next thing we had done was had the meter replaced this...

I wasn't sure but I checked and now I do :) The height difference is about 2.5 meters

Thanks that makes perfect sense, the allotments water meter is about 5 meters from the road so they have to do some proper investigation on their own pipework, don't think we will be needing much water next week though........

Thanks got an appointment with them to come and check, i just dont understand why the pressure is pretty much ok right at the end of the supply,but near the supply its rubbish

Yes it's metered, no leak as the meter doesn't run. There are about 5 outlet taps, the further you go away from the supply the better the pressure!

We have a water on our allotments with MDPE pipe which is 22mm. The supply runs slightly down hill from the supply. At the bottom of the supply the pressure is pretty decent, at the top end near the supply the pressure is useless and has got worse over time. When a tap is on at the bottom of...

I built a fruit cage out of scaffold poles and netting. Even being well built any weight of snow weighed it down as it covered a decent sized area. Depending on your ground it's easy to ram scaffold pole deep into the ground . Concrete wouldn't do any harm though

Cheers John. We are concerned if what we have come across has anything to do with the under pinning of an extension which took place in the early 1980s.most likely we are wrong but depending on what we un cover we feel it may be worth getting a structural engineer to look. Would this be a wise...

Oh no it's do with removal of a retaining patio wall and trying to work out when it was built with regards to the construction of the house. Large amounts of concrete behind part of this wall. The patio is next to the house and wall is about 5 foot high. So house sits higher then garden...

No nothing like I have put a photo of the top of the brick. It has those holes all the way along. And number written on side which I have taken another photo of

The groves are the back end of the brick. Smooth Faced. What do you mean markings in the frog? There are some numbers written on the back to

It's 21cm by 6.5 cm high.

Cheer Woody:) am glad that's the case ! Can I ask you though what's makes you say that ?

I am trying to find out of this brick is from the 50/60s.I don't think it is but wondered if anyone could have a guess? It's got round holes in middle with a smooth red face. The pic shows the back end it it. I realise its such a rough guess but trying to discount something

No it isn't but it would surely be worth it

Just thinking about this wall, we are going to have blue engineering brick as the dpc. Should I go for two layers of blue ? It wouldn't harm to go for another layer would it ? As the price is the same which ever brick I use.

Thanks for the detailed reply. It's much appreciated. The trouble with our layout is we have to much patio etc and want to change the contours of the garden

We are thinking of redesigning our garden and part of this involves this patio area which has a decent drop into the main garden. Our plan is to create a slope with the step free path. As you can probably tell the house is built higher up (although it has a suspended floor and the foundations...

Here is another photo
