You are correct. It is Eternit. Thanks to you, both. The guide is very helpful.

Hello I am aware that the sizes of Roof Slates dictate the number of battens for a Pitched Roof. I do not know how to work that out. So I have included a drawing showing the distances between the holes in the Slate. Please let me know if anyone can advise. Please see drawing as attached...

Hello, Ever since I began to use mobile phones it was always Pay As You Go. I am guessing that, that will not be suitable to monitor CCTV, and that I may need to go on a contract basis. Any advice on this, please?.

Yes, please. The four walls inside the building.

Hi, I need to insulate the internal walls of a large outbuilding. About 40 square metres. What would be the least expensive way?. Thank you.

Hello, I have a building under construction. At this point the walls are up. The roof trusses have been installed. I have been told that the gable section (concrete blocks/bricks), must be completed before installing roof tiles/insulation. Due to unsettled weather, I would like to know if...

Hi. Thank you. Yesterday I used plenty of baking soda/vinegar. Waited for more than an hour. Poured hot water. But the level remained high. Decided to leave it to (hopefully) work. Will check again. Will check insurance. CBW: The drain goes directly to the road. Never used a Karcher...

Hi. There is a rainwater drain at the front of the house. Recently the heavy downpour resulted in the water rising to a level to nearly flowing into the house. After the water receded to a level within the drain I cleared all the debris. The (square) aperture is only 125mm and the pipe...

Two cameras to start with. 5MP. Not sure of frame rate. 4TB

I guess so. I have not received a bill yet.

Thank you. After waiting for a long time I got an answer from the suppliers. It can accommodate 2 HDs, but it is warranted (has a seal) for 3 years. So if I wanted to fit a secondary, it would have to be external. In that case, I would want a Skyhawk, but I can't see any Skyhawk, external.

I asked the building engineer which size Padstones I should get for the steel & concrete lintels. Surprise. He said I don't need them. Yet he had that included in the calculations he supplied.

I never hired a such surveyors before for this type of work but I began to feel he could be more involved, and what you have quoted here confirms my thinking. I am fed up with him that is why I put my queries here. As far as section drawings are concerned, the best info I have found for...

Thank you. I guess someone will know more about this attachment than I do. Please have a look.

Thank you. What size padstone for 215 mm wall, please?.

Hello guys My surveyor says to get RC35 Padstones. I asked Builders Merchants if they can supply RC35. Answer they gave?. 'Presumably', they do. Not helpful. If they sell the stuff and can't be specific, how can I know what to get?. Are there different standards for Padstones?. Please...

Many thanks to you all. I will have to speak to the building engineer.

Hi I need to get a Lintel. It is recommended I use R6 Lintel. Those Lintels are 100 X 145mm. But the wall is 2 leaves of 100mm, making it 215mm wide. I am wondering, how will the bricklayer be able to put 2 X 100mm concrete blocks on top of the Lintel? This is not my field of work, so I...

Hi, Thank you for your response. Please see the attached Photos. You will see that the end rafter is about flush with the inner side of the 215mm wall. It seems to me that it is set for a wide concrete Lintel and a 440 X 215 X215mm. So, a concrete block larger than 100mm is the one to use..

Hi, I need concrete blocks in the gables. They will need to be rendered afterwards. I understand Thermalite does not hold render vey well. So I am considering to use Hollw concrete blocks then fill with concrete. Any advice on this, please?. Thank you.
