From your description the wall doesn`t read as if it is suitable for either raising in brick or supporting a fence structure. The question is too complex to give exact costing. I would suggest to try harder for local guys to price after seeing it on site. You can also try fencing contractors as...

OK Now I see them. The concrete kerb around your gulley is a separate item to the gulley, but will be concreted in situ. If broken can be removed and replaced from most merchants, the gulley is a glazed pottery unit, which rarely caused many probs. if not disturbed. It looks like you need to...

She must have turned stop off or it would have been running for 3 months. She didn`t drain down. Well done for standing your ground.

Karndean is mostly vinyl sheet or tile. generally glued down, heavy duty flooring scraper to hack it up.

I`d say yes to both, but you`ve got to be good to get render flat, you only got to be patient to paint tyro :?

Surely its not often 30 yr old joists shrink/warp in an upward manner. Could it not be from the removal of the ceiling weight? Maybe to maintain a level plane under joists the top of joist sockets should be packed downwards?

Agree with all replies above. You`ve got to put all the points you posted, to your fitter, sooner than later, give him chance to correct, if possible, now. Where did he come from?

nstocks. Sorry I think this question is too complex for anyone to commit a guess at. If the project is to go forward you will have to give it over to an archi./structural eng. who with all the details can calculate, not guess the answers

Mountain. Sorry, lashing was not a good choice. Re arbitration. An article in Builder magazine from trade counters had an article giving case studies of problems occuring on builds and a warrantee officer attending site to sort them. Maybe to go further would need outside body to mediate eg...

Would it not be simpler just to remove bricks and lay a new concrete slab on DPM sheet. Then you wont loose any height, unless to want a step to prevent rain/water running in, then do same over top of bricks.

Only time I saw if fitted, the guys just dropped it on a good bed of clear silicon.

Final answer (1) You must have read too much info. sikkens every time. Oh hang it first.

Down the pub? Give it time its cold.

Now then mountain. Facts must be explored before lashing out. There`s more programmes on tv about rogue builders than members of fmb. All this info is available:- Full standard membership requires trading for minimum of 12 months, 3 references of previous clients, proof of liability insurance...

Yes you are prob in wrong section. But we found you. I usually make sure all boards are screwed down tight, to elim squeeks (mind pipes) Fix down 3mm ply with lots of stapled nails, fit bath and screw down, tile floor and grout, fit wc and basin, fit bath panel over tiles which run slightly...

You cant beat old school-Hey I still got a guy waving a red flag in front of my van!

If its a habitable room, you should have a DPM. (Posting on this site for Liquid DPM). I would consider taking floor out complete and laying new concrete on DPM sheet then flag over for appearance.

Its usuall to leave the valve on pipe and just break joint from the tail in rad. ( the valve will be 2 pieces, 1 screwed into rad the other fitted onto pipe end.) That way the water is locked in the system whilst you decorate or whatever.

FMB find a builder, is a good start. Members are expected to be professional and should be able to provide references for you to contact. They wont be any cheaper and may not be any better than lots of other builders, but if you choose a FMB masterbond member they will have an insurance backed...
