I found this online, it doesn't appear to be clear cut as to whether i need to go through the expense of submitting a planning application:.. thoughts? A public footpath runs along the boundary line of my property. Am I able to fence along the side of the property, leaving the path unobstructed...

The intention was to build the fence with concrete posts, gravel boards and then the fence. The fence will stop at the front of the house where we will have a gate to allow for access to this area. So the reason why i need to submit a planning application is it because there is a footpath...

We have some land to the right hand side of our property, which is our boundary, total length is approx 24 metres. We would like to install 6 ft close board fence panels from a safety and security perspective and will give us more garden space However adjacent to the land is a footpath I...

Bump anyone?

Need to paint some internal primed wood doors, purchased Dulux Trade Diamond Quick-Drying Eggshell Paint Pure Brilliant White Hopefully I've purchased the right paint! Has anyone used this paint? Any tips? Would it be best to use a mini foam roller? Cheers

A 20mm brass stopcock should do the trick

We were in a similar situation our BCO officer advised it was acceptable to drill either below or above the dpc into the bricks to secure the wall plate. But worth double checking with your local BC

If you're doing your garage conversion under building regs i would contact building control for their advice

If its any help that's a similar ratio my builder used for a mass concrete pad foundation

Bump, anyone?

I've dug down approx 1.10 metres but now the ground is filling up with water! Approx 1 to 2 inches deep I've sucked the water out with a wet vac but the water reappears back to the same depth Have i hit hit the water table? Would this need to be addressed if so how? Or can I just fill it with...

I've started to dig a trial pit, it ain't looking promising :( The garage floor is 3" concrete below that is just filled in with sand I've managed to get my hand just under the slab where the pier will be built where the breeze block is placed no foundations are underneath. The pier will be...

Outside where? This is an internal pier that needs to be built for an rsj so i can take the wall out between the garage and dining room

The dining floor slab is 28 inches thick, which is the difference in height between the dining room and garage floor

Yep, so I'll be digging a trial hole at the garage floor level close to the door as the pier will be built on the raised floor which is the dining room to get access to the foundations of the dining floor via the garage floor

I posted a thread previously regarding building a pier to support an rsj Upon further discussions with the SE and in agreement with BC they've agreed I can build the pier with 7.3nm dense concrete blocks laid on its belly instead of the solid engineering bricks :) The snag I have now is...

That was the initial proposal but its only a single skin brick, SE stated there wont be enough support so suggested wall ties instead Close up of wall https://www.diynot.com/diy/media/albums/alan.26808/

Great, thanks Tony! The report consists of several pages so not sure exactly where to look, this is what it states under loading Single Skin Concrete Blockwork; 1.5kN/m2 Plaster 2x0.15kN/m; 0.30kN/m2 Total load = 1.8kN/m2 Wall 2.5m high...

Hi Tony, Will i need to consult with the SE and BCO if i were to use the heavy duty steel brackets you mention instead of the wall starter kit? Could you kindly provide a link/pic to which brackets you are referring to? The SE said it would be better to use solid engineering bricks, i didn't...
