I should have thought to do this myself... thanks for the effort anyway!

I don't really like the line across the middle of the window. Wondering if a single glass panel will look good.

It's easier to say terrace.. no one believes me or just get confused when I say Victorian detached.. Secondly.. We live in a modern time.. the house needs to fit my needs, not the other way around!

Hi all, I'm replacing the windows of my 1897 Victorian terrace. Photo attached. I want to give the front a modern fresh feel. I'm thinking grey casement with a single glass panel which will open from the bottom. I haven't seen any Victorian house with a single glass panel.. They always have...

We purchased the house with the extension/steel already in.

I'm not concerned about the battens. When the tiles are off we will sit the Velux correctly as you suggested. My draws and questions are based on the structure stability of the roof once I cut 4 rafters and replace with Velux windows. Thanks.

Hi all, Looking to install 2 SK06 114x118 Velux windows on the roof of my existing kitchen extension. As shown in the photo, I will need to cut out 2 rafters for each window. This will leave 2 rafters each end of the roof, and 2 in the middle. I am planning to double up each remaining rafter...

You can build a low weight metal/plastic roof with timber to replace your conservatory roof.

Definitely lay some pipe and have the option for upgrading and adding cables later on.

Looks okay to remove if you don't need the supply. You can always cut the coloured cables from the black cable you want to remove and if something dies then use a check connector block to reattach it. If it's telephone theres no electricity running through it. I did the same for my house because...

121 year old house. Removed all the joists and wall plates already. Thanks though

Not really.. i could lower the dwarf wall to gain 4" to install bigger joists and underfloor heating without affect things like stairs and door frames.

I have already cleared over 8 yards of rubble left by previous owners.. took a whole weekend to dig out! I will use 100mm Celotex insulation. I have also installed new double air vent bricks every 2m or so. Lots of ventilation now.

Minimise where we can so we can have better flooring on top

You don't know my Mrs

Could do but I would still feel more confident with thicker timbers under my feet. Hate the idea of notches. It creates a weak point in my eyes. I wouldn’t be able to sleep. Definitely. Thanks

I'm in the process of major renovation works which had led me to ripping out every ground floor joist. The original timbers are 4x2 but I will replace them with 5x2 or larger so it is more sturdy. I don't want to lose the ceiling height by having bigger joists so the plan is to remove a...

Exactly the same as my 2 ground floor hearths. We are midway renovation so I just smashed the thing with a hammer and removed it.. no damp proofing below just rubble and concrete sitting on the floor. Moisture is pulling up into the rubble and living in the hearth. Lovely.

Make sure your mask is rated P3 otherwise it doesn't count.
