    Pipe slice prices

    Yes I’ve googled lots and there is such a big range. I don’t currently charge anything as I haven’t had them made yet. I just looked on FFX and 15mm is £11.75 and then £4.49 delivery. I don’t know if they have shops.

    Pipe slice prices

    I’m doing some research in to tool prices as considering starting my own tool brand and wondered what people think is reasonable price to lure them away from the main brands. So let’s say a 15mm slice and a 22mm slice, decent quality like a kopex, so not the crap that can be got on eBay. £10...

    Shower valve leak

    Most spare parts are available. If you do not know the make and model of the shower which is very likely as they hardly ever have branding on them then you need to go on a site called shower doctor and submit photos. They will then identify the shower parts available. However the majority of the...

    Reduce joist height

    Can Can’t raise the floor as it will be too high where it meets the hallway. And I don’t think I’d be that accurate with a plane

    Reduce joist height

    I agree with you ….. but it’s 3 years ago now so I wouldn’t be risking knocking them out incase the odd few screws went in to them. I don’t want to be repairing downstairs

    Reduce joist height

    I’ve never seen a biscuit jointer used. Am I right in thinking the fence would sit on top and that adjusts down to 25mm and then it plunges in the side ?

    Reduce joist height

    Some of the noggins might have board screwed to them underneath. I’m going to have to assess the worthwhile mess of it all.

    Reduce joist height

    The joists can’t be lowered. They sit on block walls and ripping down the ceiling def isn’t worth it. I don’t mind how long it takes upstairs as the room isn’t in use anyway.

    Reduce joist height

    I did think of this but then the floor is only as strong as the battens? Not sure that is structurally ok. ?

    Reduce joist height

    I appreciate I shouldn’t get defensive but it’s hard when you’re already stressed and it’s clear I was never going to get it bang on without doing both at the same time and knocking through 3 years ago. The engineered joists in the original house are 240mm which I measured through a spot light...

    Reduce joist height

    Why do you think that response helps me in any way? Why do people come on here to moan rather than try to help. What do you think the obvious reason is? Because the ground floor was built 3 years prior and I wasn’t going to knock through my house.

    Reduce joist height

    The house was built in 2008. I moved in and built a rear extension. The joists in the rear extension were sized to accommodate a second storey in the future which is what I’ve now done. The joists new joists were 245mm by 45mm (nearest match to the original house to try achieve same level...

    Reduce joist height

    1. Yes I know it’s madness but it’s really going to pi** me off and 2. Yes there is plenty of joist depth. What would you do with it? 20mm is to much to lose in my opinion as the original room is only small, less than 2m and the floor is already un level and not in my favour

    Reduce joist height

    Morning, I have just built a second storey extension on top of a ground floor extension (which was done 3 years ago). I’ve knocked through in to the existing bedroom and the new floor is 20mm higher than the existing. I don’t want it ramped, feathered or existing raised creating a step at the...

    Planning for a porch

    Ok cool, well I’ve done that process before. I just didn’t anticipate it being the same. Annoying really. I might just build it and wait for someone to grass me up and get retrospective planning

    Planning for a porch

    I’ve already built a ground floor and first floor extension which required planning so I do have a PP account etc . I was looking more on the LA website for fees and what application it was but I will follow your guidance on it
