<SIGH> Oh Bernard stop it, or you sticking your oar in trying to pull my leg ;) - an 'oh sorry i didn't realise that' is always welcome after reading this. So this is the talk i was given about the roots from the forester, which is more or less what i knew already having worked as a volunteer...

Got out of bed the wrong side? You my friend have absolutely no clue what you're going on about. I've already had confirmation from the local forester carving a 1m deep channel with a 30cm bucket will without question damage at least 5 mature trees, this is a survey i know i would have had to...

Appreciate your thoughts, indeed i concur there. Going to chop a shallow trench and bury along the border (as long as that doesn't prolong freezing effect as opposed to above ground otherwise the border is full of tall ferns etc.)

Spoke to manufacturers apparently offers 30hours protection @ -12c . We don't have temps that often here, let alone for days, plus the flow will be regular daily.

No my uncles place is near the south coast temps here even in the coldest winter months have occasionally dropped to below freezing. In an insulated pipe which will flow in regular intervals i am optimistic this will be a viable solution. Additionally this will feed a cold water storage tank, so...

For sure i guess it depends on ambient temps before the water freezes. The water will be flowing regularly without fail.

AHA!! What about this.. come on Debbie Downers tell me this won't work can't work will cause some other negative cataclysmic disaster ;) https://groundbreaker.co.uk/products/shalloduct/ Insulated ducting, is designed to protect water pipes from frost outside the thermal envelope of a building...

Aha "Granny" yes ;) Poirot is hot on my heels here check you out :LOL:(y) Yes drawn up some plans and designs already cheers for your thoughts here.

Sewage is least my of worries would just fit a small approved STW and that would flow into the same stream the lane uses currently.

I just can't bury the pipe as the garden perimeter is all large trees 100years plus and up the middle is patio decking brick sleeper tiers it would cost estimating 20k easy in landscaping to restore. Do i have to bury the pipe by law? If it suffered some frost which i doubt would be bad here...

I wish to install a summerhouse in my uncles garden for us to stay, it's a long narrow garden and ive worked out the water supply will run about 150metres. I would appreciate anyones thoughts here: Winter frost - This will be in Devon coast so whilst we seldom have bad winters, i dont really...

i really like this idea thankyou Its clay for about 2 metres maybe maybe more? Would that affect my piles (and im not talking about my haemorrhoids) Also Zinc rods hmm stainless would be better right? Ive seen Zinc weather easily however i could be wrong?

I would like o build a timber framed building in my garden. Which would be the base for a single story 4.5 x 6m timber building. Does anyone have any pointers in how i build the base ie calcs. The ground slopes about 30cm over 5metres so it will sit on vertical posts. The ground is well...

Absolutely hence me asking how should i approach it only using logic from my own line of work: My train of thought was something like. Assess the options within the constraints of the regs. "Do you have loft space above the room?" Yes i do. "Cut old ring main cables within accessible loft...

So far ive had 'why do you want to move them?' and 'keep them high think of the future' Please im just asking the best way of doing it, im not living for tomorrow and i dont think the reason why is anything other than 'because i want to' I think i know i just thought id ask here to confirm...

Anyone help out here please?

Wrong height need to be lower for aesthetic and ergonomic reasons. All cables in loft. Ok you going to recommend i pull the old pair and add a box in loft space?

I have a few sockets currently too high that need to sit 50cm lower in a vertical plane. The existing holes need filling over and then will be plastered over. Can i just check im doing right. Do i use one of these to extend the ring main cables down to the new socket...

Im really liking these ground screws looking at using them for my summer lodge project as long as they are good for clay!
