Hi guys thanks for your advice, Today i managed to get the cover lifted up and turns out its just an inspection chamber and only flows in 1 direction (not sure which direction yet though). Have taken some pics while i had it up. Is it good news for me that it is just an inspection chamber and...

Hi Bernard thanks for your reply, Spoken to both UU and the council again asking if either have detailed plans of the water/sewage system which is under my property. UU reconfirmed saying that they have 'around' the property but not within my boundaries, stating that they may possibly be...

Hi guys, I'm looking to have an extension on the rear of my property but right where i want to have the extension is what i assume to either be a manhole or an inspection chamber, hopefully it is the latter as that seems to require the least amount of work. Did try to peek under it myself by...

Hey Vinn, thanks for your reply. Yes you are right it is plasterboard fixed to studs. the rusting screw is indeed the part which is attached to the middle stud along with the metal hook part which goes under the shower tray and thus gives the contact between the tray and the middle stud. You...

Hi Paul, thanks for your reply and your advice. hope your ok for me to ask a few further questions. Am i right to assume that there will need to be a small gap inbetween the bottom of the board and the lip of the shower tray area or should the board sit flush on top of the tray, i couldn't tell...

Hi guys, Noticed one of my lower tiles in my ensuite shower was very loose the other day, tugged on it slightly and it came straight off the wall which it was attached to, the other tiles next to that one were also quite loose so i took those off also. Seems as though the bottom row of tiles on...

I was advised by a building company that if i was seriously considering a loft conversion then the best route would be to have an Architect or Structural Engineer draw up the plans. I have no idea on the difference between the two (sorry), so before i go looking for companies or individuals in...

I am thinking of converting our external/detached garage into an office/playroom, i have spoken to the local council and no planning permissions will be required, just building regs. There is about 13m2 in the garage which i think is quite a nice amount of space for an extra room, if it was...

Thinking of converting the external/detached garage into an office/playroom but the first issue would be if we can get enough natural light into the room. IMG_20150814_133818 by NHW posted 14 Aug 2015 at 4:12 PM The garage is accessible from the back of the garden and has a door at the side, i...
