Just a mix of reclaimed yellow and red stocks- the pile in front of the wall here I mean. Look a good match for our first floor extension, but about £1.90 a brick any comments appreciated!

Yes the fillet is just a temporary thing, wonder could I get a brickie to mix in some red stocks or would that normally put their price up. Also if working with reclaimed rather than new stocks, do brickies normally charge more?

Hi all, We will be building a part first floor rear extension and I want the bricks used to be as close a match as possible to those on the main house. The bricks had been covered with render/ Tyrolean, so we have had it sanded off as you can see from the photos. Some of the bricks have a...

Would silicone render be a good option here, is it a bad idea on an house from circa 1910?

Hi, We are replacing the windows and have cleaning and repointed the bricks on the ground floor front elevation of our house, now we are looking at what to do with the render on the first floor. Our neighbour just had theirs repainted instead of removing it while renovating their house, but...

Hi Can anyone recommend a mid range flooring company for our engineered wood floor going on a screed in a kitchen, Looked at Ted Todd nice but too expensive.... Thanks

anyone?

Hi putting an engineered wood floor on top of a 80mm screed with underfloor heating. I’ve been told that 20mm boards could leave the room colder but obviously they are better for sanding down in the future? Will it make that much difference to heating if we use 20mm engineered wood?

I think its hand mixed, as it wont be pumped in?

OK Ive got another couple of people telling me it is fine, but I would rather go with less thickness as will dry out quicker I presume. Can you get insulation boards that are 130mm thick, ive seen 100 mm and 120 mm....

Hi We are having underfloor heating put in our new kitchen diner extension, large area of approx 48m2. It has been suggested that 100ml screed and 100 ml insulation be used, or could go with 80mm screed and 120ml insulation. Would the extra thickness of the 100ml screed affect how warm the...

Ive been told that the 3 layer felt nowadays if looked after could last 25 years. I know EPDM lasts longer, but the roofer I know doesn't use it. So at the moment Im going with him....

Yes will need to think about that one good point....

Was going to use 3 layer felt on the roof.....

As the wall is solid underneath there is not need for the parapet wall to have a cavity is there? On the extension we were going to build the parapet as a solid wall above the cavity wall too? I cant see the neighbour allowing us to take off the current tiles on the parapet wall and putting...

Here is a view of parapet between us and neighbours I suppose we would need a couple of courses if bricks added to this if she agrees to do roof properly, it’s on the left hand side of this photo...

Hi Looking to build a parapet wall and box gutter above the frameless glass window seat that will be installed here. Do we need to add another course of bricks or two to the existing parapet wall between us and the neighbour (on right hand side of photo)? Although we get on well it might be...

I think thats what @DevilDamo is saying, due to the side element of the wraparound extension it cant be done under PD, so we had to apply for planning permission

The council now use an external heritage consultant who has been completely over the top, but they are not prepared to go against what she says for some reason.....

Would it be Class B?
