Hi All Was not sure how to describe this issue but basically I removed the old rendering and discovered the wall is made up of several types of blocks and bricks as follows 1. very strong concrete blocks 2. very week brcks 3. very weak concrete blocks 'the darker coloured ones' the wall is...

I think I'm gonna go with this option, so basically as follows; 1. gently remove the tiles but not the back tile adhesive 2. remove more of the clay tiles to expose the battens 3. extend those battens using spiral nails or anything compatible with thermalite 4. render the exposed thermalise on...

also can thermalite be drilled ? how would I secure the battens to it ?

@noseall thanks for your advise, its shocking to think this stuff was ever even allowed! @^woody^ the level of the tiles is thicker than the white rendering so if I batten over it it will come out by about 15mm, however I'm thinking if i do this how can i the two levels be joined ? ie the...

Hi Everyone we recently removed the conservatory and foundout the walls were made of thermalite, we were told by a builder this is wrong and the fix would be expensive. I'm getting all kinds of quotes and opinions about this so really at a loss here as to what to do, I'm thinking the DIY way...

I personally have been naughty when it comes to electrics but I had my reasons, I did the following without "Notifying anyone" 1. installed EV charger 2. installed second consumer unit, for the shed, AC, and EV charger 3. installed new consumer unit for whole house using Hager afdd-rcbo's 4...

has anyone attempted a "diy" to replace the flow meters and valve pins on a warmafloor UFH manifold ? also how easy is it to just replace the whole thing as I'm seeing manifolds for under £200 and wondering if its worth buying parts or just replace the whole thing but I'm not sure how straight...

if i was you I'd collect some samples and send them over to www.airsafe.org.uk for analysis, best company ever and very cost effective. no one can tell you if something has asbestos or not without a lab results, and asbestos in general is harmless unless disturbed or is damaged.

rain water can even drain much closer to the foundation, you might find the attached study useful

Hello any advise on how to repair those pillar's and prevent future damage ? they are solid oak but are rotting from the bottom up. I was thinking of putting some acrow's then cutting the pillars where the rot is and dig up a hole and fill with concrete and use something like this ? there's...

yeah thats where they should have connected to

thanks for your reply, strangely enough its probably about 5 meters away in a straight line to get to the foul drain pipe, Not sure why they did it this way, so if I was to fix this issue would I need to contact Thames Water and/or Building Control ? whats the correct way to do this ?, thanks...

Hi All we just discovered that our shower and bathtub waste is going to a small pipe that does not appear to be connected to the main sewer... this was all discovered by chance as we recently moved into the property and I was working on the front garden, it looks like the previous owners have...

it looks similar to the asbestos I found in my house though the best thing to do is take a sample and send it to a lab as no one can really tell you form the pictures, I did that at my house, it was only £15 a sample... or you can even use amazon kits that have a return label etc - if you're so...

thanks! I didn't know what the term was but I think your suggestion is spot on :)

Hi, sorry not sure if clay cladding was the correct term to use, it feels the same as roof tiles but someone they attached them to the wall, the wall behind is brick I believe
