How difficult is it to buy some tiles? The online places that say they do have stock then don't as soon as you order! :-( Any local builders merchants don't sell them. Brexit? Covid? I'm off to go look for some rocking horse poo.

Forgot to update. Unfortunately when having works done recently I pre-planned a cable for the hot tub but not an EV charger, not sure what that says about me? So it had to be installed externally. New CU in the garage, then cables routed internally in the garage so cant be seen at the actual...

If it's really tight you can normally cut the outer edge of the frame a little

I thought it strange they were just moving the point where the cables join, but as you say if they are happy... I've gone for Hypervolt. Seems to have good reviews and great customer service. They've even kept in contact while I've waiting for the DNO works.

Been round this week to complete the works. Shiny 100A fuse.

Free of charge.

Western Power have visited and I now have a date for the works. Strangely they are not running any new cables to the mains for either property. Their plan is is to move the join from my meter box to under my side path. I can only assume the cable size is OK to run two properties, it's just the...

As it involves kitchen and lots of glass 2k/m2. So 80k. Add to that the fact that the rest of the house will feel old after the new extension so will need updating, another 20k. 100k in total. I'm not bitter! honest... :-)

Just screws on. Premium Trickle Slot Vent for uPVC Double Glazing Window - Reduces Condensation Black 400mm : Amazon.co.uk: DIY & Tools

It'll look fine if they have enough room to install one. On our aluminium windows vents had to be installed in a separate aluminium header attached to the frame.

They have a company & VAT number and a physical address, so are probably less dodgy than most. Call them or visit if local if you are unsure.

I've had so many issues with Fire Angel. My 5 alarms are no longer linked as it seems the linking was causing the beeps. The do eventually swap them if you contact support over email but the hassle and inconvenience means once they are out of warranty they will be replaced by something else...

That's the old window. New window the cill will flush with the width

Hi. I'm installing new windows that don't have cill horns so will need to adjust the brickwork. I know the "proper" way is to totally remove the brick but I can never get the mortar a similar colour and my bricklaying skills are terrible and I just seem to get most of the mortar on the brick...

Hi. Planning or replacing guttering and I have two small sections of roof that currently DO have guttering, but I was planning on just removing it. The bottom section also has a chimney so it's even smaller than the top. Longest edge is about 2.5m. Cheers

"Unlooping of the service to a neighbouring property, at no cost to yourself or your customer" Western Power Distribution

DNO contacted and the supply will have to be un-looped. According to my installer the DNO also stated that the supply will have to be un-looped before the install takes place and they will not accept using a load balancing sensor or charger on a lower setting while waiting for the un-looping to...

Cheers both. I thought the 100A label meant there was a 100A fuse on the inside. Hopefully the neighbour won't mind his prize winning garden being dug up :( Strange it's even looped. Detached house built in the mid 90's...

Hi. Planning on speaking to the DNO tomorrow just wondered if anyone has any experiences of having a looped supply AND a 100A service fuse? I've googled about but cant seem to find if the installer would want a dedicated supply to install a 7KW charger. All the examples I can see is with a...

Hi. I've installed some granite slabs on a row of gabion baskets and not too sure how to grout as there is an over hang on the front edge. Can I just use silicone sealant as pictured? Thanks.
