I'm currently doing same thing my old lead pipe is 2ft under. What blue pipe size will you be using? I was thinking 25mm?

Yorkshire water been out and still no luck. Cant find water stoptap on street. No chlorine in water. Thinking could be ground water. BCO been out. Wants it further investigating.

Probably Luck Water turned off in house. Not on water meter. I will turn off outside see if it stops. Was your leak from mains supply?

The chap who did digging dug until he reached good clay. We are about 600-800mm below house foundations but can double check. Trench is about 1.2m to 1.4m deep. A friend of mine did same repair to his pipe so that should be fairly straightforward to repair. The neighbour has conservatory but...

Thanks for replies. Not sure about repairing the pipe. It only drips sometimes. And it's quite slow. There is a small crack underneath collar. How would you repair this? I have build over agreement. Also need bco to come out but ideally want to sort water problem out first. The water built up...

Hi. Yes there was a patio area there. About the "dpc" it was topped up with hard core. The water is coming out from below the dpc sheet below pipe. It's on the inside part of trench. It can't be toilet water since there is no bathroom for last 6 months. Also water has not been on for 6...

Hi. I've had trench dug out for single storey rear extension. Water is filling trench up. It seems to be ground water. What's best way to deal with this? Had 1 foot of water over 24hrs for 4x5m trench. Also sewer pipe is cracked underneath and is slowly dripping.

My mistake. Opening is 762. I was referring to 700mm from built in stops which is effectively width to get stuff in and out. One more question. I have built the frames exactly to 762mm opening. You think it would be wiser to do the remaining 3 at 10mm wider so 30 inch door wouldn't require any...

I thought fire doors come in 45mm thickness compared to normal 35mm?

I'm not sure if these were meant to be for commercial use since they are very thick 65mm (actual 58mm). I had to cut the header to size and trench them too which was a pain. The doorway is narrower due to thickness. Just hope I'll get my furniture inside. Yes will keep them for now but will use...

It will fit 30 inch door. Opening is 700mm.

Hi. It is rebated on other side with a section for intumescent strip. On the header it is stamped with fd30. It's a bloody chunky frame. Fitted3 but wish I'd known about the 44mm ones.

I bought following door cases 108mm by 58mm. I don't understand why they are realy chunky. I had to make the trenches too. Problem I have is due to thickness of frame the opening is 1 inch less on each side compared to normal door casing. Also it's for 45mm doors? I've fitted 3 altogether...

Hi. I'm having 2 bathrooms. What's best way to provide got water at same time? Have combi boiler. Will I need a pump? Don't really want electric shower. Thanks

Just a quick question related to this. Can you build stud wall on floorboard between joists that run parallel. I have a onsuite to build. Cheers

I spoke to a plasterer with excellent feedback. He said best go with flush but not to worry about few mm. No more than 3mm though. Thanks for all the input.

How thick or thin was the skim?

Done most of the boxes. I've left them protruding by 3mm so once skimmed will level up to it. (Just thought it would be better :unsure:) Do electricians prefer earth on bottom or top. I have fitted boxes in but on sockets some I have positioned with earth at top. Not done switch yet but was...

Hi. I'm installing door new door linings. I've extended into loft to create bedroom. I know I have to install fd30 door and casing. Also for bedrooms on first floor. But do I need to install fire doors and casing for ground floor? Lounge, diner, utility and then will get single story...

No I'm not in a wheel chair. I've decided to go with what feels right. I'm happy with applying regs standard. Thanks for all the help.
