I'm pretty certain the planning officer was being paid by this clearly wealthy Russian business developer...

Hi all, I'm not sure if I should worry or not but i'm in the process of removing all the bonding and plaster around the window frames ready to get the new ones measured up. I'm worried about using an SDS drill on the Lintels above the windows in case I crack them. Should I be worried or is...

Thanks for your input

We had a major development next door to ours which would have made our detached Victorian look like a semi, as well as a host of other issues. Each resident can put their own objection through. I spent the 6 months doing research into the policies of the local authorities development plans...

Thanks. The area is rather dry. Normally the corner is more damp and the oversite damp about 1ft from each edge. The timbers were purchased treated and have since had another coat of treatment for rot. Do you think tanking the footings and 2ft of oversite would help prevent it coming through...

@JohnD @JobAndKnock @bobasd It seems to be worse after a spell of wet weather. We dug the kitchen up to reinstate the suspended floor after the old owner filled it with soil while doing the side extension. I can only imagine the same has been done to the side extensions floor (on the right...

Not for the last 12 months. However on the outside of the house diagonal to the damp corner is the soil stack. I plan to dig it up soon to see if that is causing the issue but wanted to get the floor down sooner then digging the garden.

In some areas of my house under the suspended floor (especially in the corners), is rather damp. It doesn't go above the DPC which is great, but the old joists became rotten so we replaced them, and opened up more ventilation bricks to prevent is happening again. However, the kitchen has a...

Their all the same items..... That's why I described what he should be looking for too.. calm it love

Yes. You want a bluetooth device that plugs into the headphone jack and turns that into bluetooth which can be connected to bluetooth headphones or speakers.

150mm to any edge/corner/ceiling/floor is a cable safe zone. Also horizontal/vertical to any accessory (light fitting, switch, plug etc.) You could take the cable through the wall behind the FCU and attach a light on the other end and run some conduit (steel looks nice to me) across the door to...

Hi all, I've never designed or fitted a kitchen before so I have some questions when it comes to hob appliances and base units. I plan to buy an induction hob ~800-830 wide and 211 deep with built-in extractor fan. Possibly: https://elica.com/GB-en/hobs/nikolatesla-switch Questions: 1. Can I...

I need to run hot and cold feeds in ~55mm screed to the kitchen. The majority of the run is under suspended floor but the last 1.5m will be in screed. I’m using 15mm PolyPipe and have read I can run the pipe in conduit and screed over it. Fine, but to my knowledge, all feeds should be...

Agree. I don't plan to have long curtains in the room anyway so I'm not concerned. It's a 3 external facing solid wall room so I need that heat!

Thank you for sharing. I ALWAYS ensure my holes are within the correct span.

@Motman @durhamplumber @Dan Robinson Is the pipe layout okay then?

1000x300 ~3500BTU rads. Could go up to 400 high but don't need to. I never really thought about the heat loss with curtains are you mentioned @Motman. Although I've always been told to have rads as lose to windows as possible to combat the cold from the windows which also makes sure the room is...

As per title - red is flow, blue is return. Both Tee off to provide each small rad under the window. Both 15mm polyplumb pipe under 10m from the boiler on the same floor. Is this okay? Thanks.

@endecotp Regarding the floating floor, what was the process to do this? I have a concrete floor in my conservatory after ripping up the old tiles and screed. I want to get 25mm kingspan on it before I finish it to the same level as the rest of the house
