a spa is going in there, full of water, 4cu. m is 4tonnes. OK i'll call them in the morning.

Hi, I need to design a floor that can take 4-5 tonnes. The floor is in an extention that will be build. Currently, there are soil pipes running about a foot under the garden, i dont want to move the pipes as they are old clay pipes, shared with other houses in the street (common sewer runs...

The water is on the other side of the wall to the new box. Will this be ok? I want to move the water anyway, becuase its a lead inlet pipe!

I feel stupid. What is a 'leaf' (other than the type that grow on trees)

Thanks for that. It has to be 330mm from any electric, 180mm from a window, and between 500mm and 1000mm from the floor. Should be easy enough. Also, the DPM that goes over and behind the box, does this have to be tied into the brick work below the box or just pushed down into the cavity?

I'm suposed to be tiling the floor on saturday. Does anyone know if i need to seal the new concrete or not??! Please someone tell me - im desprate.

Hi, Thanks. I've got that sheet, or a simulaur one with the instructions, but they dont tell me the height to fit the box, clearance around the box or if its ok to fit it under a window.

Hi, Transco, (wales and west utilities) and coming to move my gas meter to a new flush type box out side, next month. Meanwhile, I have to fit the box (which i bought from the build center) myself. Are there any regulations that i need to addear to for this? I.e. I have a window...

Hi, I have filled in the hole i dug (1ft deep) 3x6x1ft deep , with concrete, and let it dry for 3 weeks. Yesterday, i leveled the floor with febflor plus self-leveling compound, which actually is not 100% self leveling so now its about 3mm out across the surface of 3ft in width and 6 ft...

Take the glass out, and replace it with a wooden panel. A dog hitting into a single glazed door panel will end in a £400 vet bill.

anyone know where you can buy solinoid or magnetic locks?

Kick the panel out? Thats the noisy way of doing it. [Message deleted] Aperently, this method works for uPVC windows too. :cry: Moderator 3 We don't want to put idea into people head of how to break in :wink:

B&Q sell all sorts, the foam type was £10 when i last looked. screwfix.com are cheeper, and its the same stuff, the same company as b&q

You can take 1/2" off the bottom of a 78" door no problems. But taking 2 1/4" off the sides might be a bit greedy. If its an internal door, can you make the opening wider or is it just a simple door replacement job?

~Actually the fitters are usually more than hapy to do it, cos they get cash in hand.

TP is a complete rip off, cement is £4.30 a bag, £3.00 at BandQ. Sand is £45 a ton, £37 at build center al inc vat

Oh yeah, whoops, duh! :roll:

Well, i chickened out of doing it today, so starting to mix tomorrow (sat) at 7am. The mixer is sat in the kitchen, next to the fridge and 20 bags of cement ready to go. What should i use to 'tamp' down the pour? any tips?

WOW. your games room is going to be bigger than my house including the garden! 8m x 8m (100ft x 100ft) thats an insane amount of space for a games room. 100ft from your house too. If you have that much land, then surely you can afford a proper building company to come round and do the...

How deep should the foundations be if the extention is a single story instead of a dwalf wall?
