i have these on my house, would agree with noseall the brick either side of the lintol is about an inch thick and the lintol is behind this. i took one out of my house when i built my extension and they are bloody heavy and are hard to drill in to when fixing blinds and poles.

you need to fit a soak away, most new houses these days use this system where the water does not go down the drains to a sewer but to a hole dug in your garden and filled with clean stone to allow the water to go back in to the water courses under ground. this does make some gardens wet if not...

with the onset of winter it would prob be best to go for a rebuild, as it sounds like it has reached the end of its life. what is the overall condition of it ? you might be able to get it rendered which is a cheaper option if it is not to bad.

most of bg workers are a waste of time i had 3 different ones to my boiler and they still could not fix it. so i posted the prob on here and namsag told me what was wrong, i showed this to bg man and he fixed the fault ,but he was clueless

just imagine a triangle the same width and height as your opening, that is all that is carried by the arch. it is how a standard lintol above a door works, take it away all that falls down is the triangle above

if the opening is 63cm that is about 3 bricks wide if layed lenght ways. your arch is enough to carry what is above.

try a wide wood chisel, but mind the edge of the tiles

it should be fine, if the opening is say 4 bricks wide the amount of bricks placing weight on the arch is 10. 4 then 3 then 2 then 1 in a triangle, the rest of the weight would be transfered to the cheeks .

use a small drop of fairy liquid, but watch you dont mix it to wet

i would say dont make your bed any more than you have to, can you get away with 10mm?

did you use the correct adhesive and grout? was it a 2 part mix powder and liquid or just powder and add water, this could be your prob

will bare that in mind. once again thanks for your advice :D

prob 3 to 4 hundred pounds, not great at this time of year i know , it may not move again for a while so these things take time to monitor, about 6 months

have been told these are mint what should i go for?

if your house is on a mortgage , the insurance would cover the costs involved, why cover over it will crack again and you would only panic over this. a structural engineer would place a device on the wall to measure for movement, you could look at this to give yourself piece of mind and have a...

i have no idea what they did, but why they could not find that fault with the boiler infront of them when you could tell what it was by my post . i bet it never said on his laptop about this sensor so would not have thought about it. if it had not been for your post i think they would still be...

well they have sorted it, tried a new pcb but still no joy so i said what a couple of you guys had said about the sensor and hey presto boiler working fine at last. can let the wife have her heating back on now thanks for all the advice. :lol:

sounds like you have some movement in your building , get a structural engineer involved, he will monitor the building for movement over a set period of time and decide what course of action to take

i used them before and got charged £156 fee it turned out to be a rubber seal not costing a lot, so at least i am getting my money's worth this time

lol i think you are right there ,the first guy looked at it for 5 mins then asked what was wrong , i explained the prob ,he looked on his laptop then called someone else on the phone . so got more time off tomorrow while they come and play about with it
