Thank you! Did you do a building notice or full plans? You have definitely made me think twice about using someone, and have had a little play around tonight. What do you think?

I expected an answer like that to be honest. I'm not 100% sure it was his exact words, as it was a bad phone line, so i thought we could discuss it further on a site visit. He did say about it helping with the future sale of the house blah blah blah. Is it in his interested if he 'made me'...

I have just read through the whole lot, a very interesting and inspirational read. Well done. I am currently planning a rear extension for my bungalow, also with very little knowledge on the building regs. I love that you done your own drawings and got them approved. How did you decide on...

Thanks for the advice. I have decided to get someone in who will draw it up for building control approval. I did consider drawing it up, but then i don't know what's required in terms of footings, joist spans etc. This guy will also arrange the SE for any steels. We've only had a phone...

Hey guys. I’ve currently got a planning application in for a loft conversation, of which we’re having trouble with the planning lot despite what most houses around here have got. Now with a baby on the way, we’ve decided that the loft is out of the question for now, but will still go ahead...

As said already, it’s up to you how it’s done, but in my opinion, why would you chase all the way up from the CU, then chase all the way back down again to each Socket? That’s a hell of a lot of work, not to mention cable cost.

PM me, I may be able to look on some maps

Where in the uk are you?

You’ll be able to put them off until April easily just by ignoring their letters and phone calls. EDF have been on at me for at least a year to get mine replaced! At first I just said I don’t want one, then I said can we wait until my building work was complete, then I said I was working away...

Hey guys. I’ve been thinking about our loft for some time and have decided that I want to apply for planning permission this year, so that I know what I can and can’t do before we make too many future plans. I plan on doing a lot of the work myself, but getting pros in for the more complex...

A cable can only be opened up after a proper cable id is carried out. We can’t kustbopen up an unknown cable. If it can’t be id’d via pulse or echo, then it must be traced - which means digging until you find the other end or branch joint etc.

There are no procedures in the DSR’s to cut a live cable in one hit. All cores shall be cut individually.

Phoyo of cutout please. Who is your dno?

Have you any photos? If all the red lines are underground cables, where do the overhead lines run? Where's the next pole? Or is it just one pole on its own? Google street view might help.

HV or LV? Got any photos?

Hey guys, Im just laying my vinyl floor in my bathroom. After searching around I was planning on loose laying it. It's been inside for a few days to get to room temp. - but rolled up. Iv'e just laid it out and trimmed to size - But there are a couple of ripples sticking up in the middle from...

Thanks for the advice guys. I understand that I will get it with practice. There may have been too much as i was making sure it went right into the joint, resulting with more build up on my finger as as got further down. I believe silicone should be use on corners to allow for slight...

Hey guys, I know this has been covered, I have searched and taken advice but I'm having trouble! So I'm trying to silicone the corners of my tiles- grey tiles, white grout and silicone. I used the masking tape method, about 2mm in from the joint on both sides, applied silicone, smoothed off...
