Hi I'm busy renovating (still!! :roll: ) my old house. I've boarded out some of the loft for storing the odd bit of stuff but have now realised that when I'm walking about up there the livingroom ceiling is bouncing a bit which is ok now as it's a mess anyway at the min but I will be sorting it...

Hi I need a floor for my bathroom which is an old extension 2.5m x 5m built onto the back of my house (ground floor). At present its concrete which I presume must have been the back yard's deck judging by the extreme fall on the floor which all falls towards where the old yard gully was. Now...

Well I finally got it sorted a few weeks ago, thanks to everyone and especially Servotech for your suggestions :D It aint pretty but it works and will do me until I eventually get the old lead system replaced. [/img]

Cheers! The windows probably made the job at least 3 times longer & more complicated than just doing a flat roof. Not sure I could be bothered to do it that way again but it's done now & I love the way it looks inside the bathroom :D

Problem sorted! Made some plywood window boxes with a 15 degree pitch so I only needed a small pitch on the roof and gained much needed ceiling height. Then just used the existing slate flashing kits on top of the DIY window curb boxes, then fixed GRP roofing trims etc over the top of the lot...

Wonder why they give em different names then? Reckon Ill just use the stuff I've got then. Cheers!

Just a quickie, is there any big difference between floor and wall Kingspan? In other words could I use the wall stuff to on top of concrete (DPM first), then 18mm ply sheets, then tiles? I know the floor stuff is supposed to be a bit more crush resistant or something so thought I best ask. I...

Yeh I will be applying for a new supply under that scheme eventually and I have already installed the MDPE to the property boundary etc etc. Long story but I just need to temp connect up to the supply for a while before I apply. :wink:

Nice one, I'll give it a go :D Cheers again!

Thanks for all the replies everyone! :D Ive searched the back lane and can't find anything, I've also asked the neighbours on both sides as well who've lived there forever and still no joy afraid. Directly behind the tap is the property boundary wall and then a public alley. Servotech, I...

Hi I need to connect to a water supply, but the incoming supply is an ancient stop tap and lead pipe. First idea was to leadloc onto the pipe but it's been cut off rite next to the tap, very close to where the lead pipe widens out as it goes over the tap. So dose anyone know just how much...

Thanks for all the replies :D I can defo have it within 6 meters so happy days! Cheers for the link to the regs PDF as well, very useful 8)

How close dose a toilet need to be to a Soil Vent Pipe to prevent siphoning of the U bend? I've Google'd this but can't seem to find the answer. I have a big problem positioning a soil vent on the outside wall to the toilet so was wondering if it could be Teed in a bit further down the run of...

Just realised I had a new reply. Thanks for the advise, I am considering curbing the windows now. At least that way I can reduce the pitch of the roof and gain a bit more headroom indoors. I think I might be able to use the gear i already have if I glass it in properly.
