No one can see you picture as it re-directs to warning that hotlinking is theft. Try uploadng at a normal website like tinypic.com. The vent should have gone directly thorugh the roof with some sort of flashing. Thats the prfessional way in my opinion. As for the condensation you...

Oh good, and the only thing I need to sell the house in the future, is the building inspectors signing off to say the work was completed to standard etc? (I think it's called the final written completion statement)?

Hi, I've been looking at the regs on party wall agreements. However, I've found that all the relvant websites talk about getting the party wall agreement signed BEFORE any extensions are built, but they never mention what happens after the extension was built... I'll try to explain... I built...

Hi, I'll try to keep it quick as I'm desperate to fix this. My boiler seems to have no hot water, and the diverted for the DHW is slightly broken. Can someone explain how this particular diverter valve works? I'm under the impression that the diverter valve extends it's pin to divert the...

Excellent, Thank you! I got the answer I wanted also!!! Thanks :)

That confirm my suspicions, thank you. Since I have used Wickes undercoat and gloss, would I be able simply to paint over my skirting boards with the water based Wickes gloss? I'm kinda looking for a one time quick fix as I've spent hours painting my house lately, but obviously I don't...

I recently I painted my entire house with gloss paint... from Wickes.. Little did I know about the yellow paint fiasco from 2012, which evidently was never sorted out. I used Oil based gloss which I assumed was better than the water based gloss... but after 3 weeks, my glossed areas are...

seems I started quite a discussion here! I wanted to thank you all for the excellent information.. I know what i;m looking for when it comes to hacksaw blades now.. The following discussion hit home on a few things though.. the reason i was asking is because I have been buying the cheap Chinese...

cool! that's a lot of info! I searched ebay.. would these be the type of blades you mention? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/12-Eclipse-Hacksaw-Blades-18TPI-10-Pack-TE135-/141158968567?pt=UK_Hand_Tools_Equipment&hash=item20ddbaecf7...

Hi, I often cut hard metals, including steel and some brass, yet I never really found a decent hack-saw blade. What would you recommend? I'm after decent junior and large hacksaw blades, should i go with bacho for both? (my bacho socket set is excellent, so i'm thinking they maybe good for...

Sorry for my late reply, I was working away... So I hould cement it as best I can,, and pray it doesn't leak?

Agreed, the wall should have been built up higher, (which i will have to do.) However the roof pitches do not match, and I cannot say for certain that i will get the minimum height difference of 75mm... Also, my neighbor doesn't want any part of his roof affected, so how will i add the...

what?

Hi, My new roof, which joins onto next door is a different height. http://tinypic.com/r/2126fdl/8 can someone explain to me how I'm to join these together? My builder is no longer on site, and Will need to do this myself. I have seen some plastic jointing boards like this...

Ahh, ok.. I got the boiler of my sister so i know the boiler is working excellently if that's a word? Anyways.. as for spilling the beans...yes.. hmm.. I got it from my sister who had recently moved into a new house. the previous owners told her it was only about 3 years old, obviously i...

well, thanks to both of you for the swift responses. However it will be going in the new part as that's the only space I have. The boiler is only 2-3 years old and in perfect working condition. It seems stupid and ridiculous to me that im now forced to spend £600 on a boiler I won't need...

Hi, I have heard multiple different answers to this question, and really need a straight answer... I searched this in the forums but I only found old results, and I've needed to ask this incase the regs have changed again.. I have a combi boiler in good working condition, but I need to move...

Excellent! That's cleared everything up. Thanks so much!!!
