Thank you noseall. It's just neighbour has a cherry Blossom tree and to ensure roots do not create trouble, the structural engineer has advised a nib of 2.1 meters. I can always ask to re visit the drawings. If we change the foundations, do we have to go back to building control?

So what is the alternative?

Hello noseall. Thankyouforyourreply. 2.1 meters is because of the trees in neighbours garden.

Yep and she has consented. She has also however, written a letter advising us that she consents to the proposed work but she wants more detailed drawings drawn up. summary of her conditions below. 1. Section Drawing detailing the level difference between both properties. (I do not...

Thank you Woody. Thats great news. I showed the letter to the builder today and he is of the opinion that its a conditional approval? I thought either a person can consent or dissent. Never heard of a Conditional Consent?

Hi jks7492. They are very close less than a metre. very close. its the boundary line.

Thank you very much woody. I will remind the structural engineer of CDM Regulations and also have a word with the architect.

Hello Everyone, I was hoping someone could advise. We have a semi detached property and my neighbour has a patio and sun lounge. We are building an extension but due the trees in her garden (which are less than 3 meters) structural engineers have asked to go for step footings (1.2, 1.7 & 2.1...

Hello forum members, thank you for reading this post. I was hoping if someone could help. We are building a rear extension and my neighbours have signed and consented to the line of junction, party wall, and excavation notices as its a semi detached property. She has sent us an...

Hello forum members, wondering if anyone has come across this problem before in samsung American fridge freezer of ice forming in the small section of the back of the fridge? I have RS53K4400BC model. Wondering if anyone has had this issue before and if you managed to find the solution...

So I got onto attic yesterday 2 days after spraying wasp killer and sprinkling some wasp killer powder from raid. I have not seen any activity. Also, I am thinking yo check attic every few days and see what is the outcome. As a backup, I am thinking to spray critterkill fogger in the attic as it...

Thank you Nige. I think i ll do that. But of for any reason I can't seal, do you think damp can occur? Also there is a large window on the side which is open to all the time to ensure the air flow. The fan is a backup option to avoid the paint flaking on the top corner of the ceiling and is...

I agree mattylad. I have sprayed everywhere in the loft yesterday. I am going to see if it has made any difference. Temperatures are a bit up over next two days so I am going to keep an eye out and where the heck these buggers coming from

I do have an unused chimney, that was recently boarded few weeks ago in the attic as I had a chimney breast removed but it was clean and was done within 2 days of chimney being removed. Perhaps, I am thinking some may have come from outside whist it was open before cowl and chimney backing plate...

Hi Foxhole thank you. I did inspect the loft today could not see any nest in the loft even the size of the golf ball. Only cobwebs. So I spent about another hour trying to do some clear out. In an hour, I got 1 wasp who was zapped with raid in that very 30 seconds. It appears that they are...

Thanks mattylad. I cannot see any nest unfortunately and that is the dilemma wondering where the heck they are all coming from? To make the situation tricky, there is a tubelight in the attic and the are coming from somewhere around there or perhaps they are somewhere in the different part but...

Hi freddymercurystwin thank you for the advice. would zinc roof not create more noise when it rains and snows or hails?

Hi, can someone help or recommend a good poison that I can leave in the different areas of the attic or just spray raid along the wooden joists and wood randomly with a hope that it will stay and be effective for a few weeks until it kills a few of them. I have seen quite a few wasps in the...

Hi Nige, thanks for your reply. The holes are quite big as compared to other small holes that my neighbours bricks has got. If I do not get that air bricks out, is there a possibility of damp between the cavity and the brick wall?

Hi Harry Thank you for your advice. The fan duct is just pushed all the way touching the airbrick and the airbrick has not been sealed by the electrician. The holes are big enough as well
