Have relooked at it and this is the better option. Gives me the 35 deg pitch roof, and looks better as well, as the soffits and fascias would have looked odd.

Thanks. I had the truss compnay out a few weeks back for a measure up and he said it would be best to leave the current roof beams in and also the BCO said the same. The truss compnay is out this week to do the final measure up as I have had to cut through the flat roof deck and fix a small...

As title is this to low for machine pantiles? Other wise was thinking of Sandtoft County which looks the same but is interlocking tile. Thanks

I think this post helps me http://www.diynot.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=58421 Thanks

Hi Am about to covert a flat roof to a pitched using pre made roof trusses. Need to install a wall plate is 4x2" a good size? Does it fix to the inner wall, outer wall or mid way? Given I allready have roof joists (from the flat roof) I was plannting to screw the wall plat down through...

I am also going to tie the new wall into the opening with the use of drilled ties.

Think I have found my answer now>? every 450mm verticly and 750mm widths. Starting at DP level. So if that is the case for my wall, I will have 2/3 on the DP layer, 2/3 at 450mm layer and 2/3 under the top layer of bricks. This links in well with the cavity boards I have got which are...

Hi I am bricking up a previous externall door to install a window. The size of the brickwork will be 1.70m wide by 0.8m tall, it will be double skin with a cavity filled with insualtion. Do I need to use wall ties for such a small size?

Spot on! Thanks. A very detailed document.

Thanks I thought you needed one?

Thanks for that Andy. So the order is from blue MDPE entering house, Stopcock, Drain valve Double check valve ?

Some bad news today, neighbourgh has finsihed with his digger so it has gone back. Good news is, it only took 3hrs to dig the trench by hand (20m x 800mm deap) 8) Even better news is at the meter/ stopcock there is about 1ft of 25mm blue pipe coming off the meter which then joins onto...

As the rest of the house is only 15mm, surely 32mm will make no difference, as the 15mm pipes will be the restiriction. We have no issue with water flow. I am going to dig down to the water meter tommorow and see how it is conected in. Other thing is my neighbour is doing some major...

We are not wanting it changed due to the lead, have no issue with that. Main thing is, the in-house stop-cock is in a daft place, and the work we are doing is right next to it, which alows us to get the stop-cock in a better place. So rather than replace all 20m of the lead pipe, would it...

Hi I need to replace my lead pipe from the house to the underground water meter, (which is inside my property boundry). Am I alwowed to connect the new blue MDPE pipe to my side of the water meter or do I need to get the water board out? On the water board site (yorkshire water) it...

Thanks guys for confirming my thoughts that they are not needed give the UK's water standards. I am going to fit a good quilaity in-line filter for just our fridge water unit, as that is where we basicaly drink our water from. As I said in my first post "do I need filtered water in my toilet?"

Planning on some mains incoming water alterations and I am considering a whole house water filter, but are they realy needed /worth it? This is the type I was considering, or as a minium just the single sediment unit...

They have allreay replaced their part of the pipe which is upto the meter/stock which is in our garden, before we moved in 4 years ago. I still have 20m from the stopcock/meter, to where our house is/inside house stop-cock. So as the Yorkshire water site, everything on my boundry...

Hi We have lead water pipe from the water meter/stopcock (which are both inside our property boundary) to the in-house stop-cock, which is a distance of about 20m. Also the in-house stop-ck is in a very odd place (to to historic house extensions), so as part of some other building work we...

We have a flat roof of approx. 4 x 2.5m, for which we plan next year to convert to a pitched roof with rockwool insulation. But until then, I have thought about covering the roof externally (like a warm deck system) with 75mm poly boarding, and then covered with normal flatroof stones to hold...
