Morning. I'm just after some advice please on the following job. I'm looking to build a glorified shed to house my hot tub in. I have created the deck which is raised off the floor slightly and I plan to use some 25mm polystyrene floor insulation to help keep the cold out from rising through the...

Hi I'm looking to put some composite decking down and was wondering if any installers on here can recommmed any do/donts on what type/brand to use. The decking will be going down on a timber frame (pic attached)

I'm going to run 125mm ducting and then covert to 150mm flexi for the short piece down the wall, yes i will use a decent brand

Hi, I'm installing a cooker hood in an extension at my house and it needs mechanical extraction, am i ok to run solid 100mm ducting above the ceiling clipped to the joist and then core drill outside and put a vent on? Or does it need to be a bigger sized duct? The joists are 8"x 2". Thanks

The junction is buried under the ground so there is only 2 of the 3 openings to see, can i just blank off the unused end when that pipework is removed

Hi, I've attached a pic of my current set up, the vertical terracotta pipe is to be cut back and a black soil pipe to be ran straight up , just wondering what happens to the t connector when I lose the old soil pipe, can it just be blanked off?

Sorry here goes

Evening, I've attached a picture of what has been left following the groundworks, can I swap the t piece for a 90 degree bend as I don't need a vertical outlet going up the wall anymore? Or can i just blank that unused outlet off at low level and drill a 32mm hole into that t piece and connect...

Evening I'm just after some opinions on how you would lay this en suite out (see drawing) As it stands on the drawing now the basin and the wc are on a wall that is to be dot and dabbed, the wall to the right of the door is to be dot and dabbed and the rest are stud walls, would it be better to...

What are peoples thoughts on these leads, my workplace have just pulled them out of service stating that the maximum current a 2.5 flex will pull is 25amp, these leads are 25m in length.

Hi just an update, they won't joint inside , and they wont manoeuvre the cable to position I'd like, the cutout has to be on an external wall inside or outside so I will be having a recessed white box on an external wall somewhere with the smart meter and a metal clad isolator inside then a SWA...

My understanding was that A they won't manoeuvre the cable to make a loop in order to relocate the cutout and B they won't do a joint in the house, therefore the joint would need to be outside so that's where the suspended floor comes in as that would be my most direct route to get back to the...

If they can joint inside it's to move 3 meters and you are looking at 650 quid inc vat, if its too joint outside then about 800 as it's further to run the new length of cable, i guess the survey is too make sure everything goes smooth on the day and there is no nasty surprises and also to check...

I've had a quote from NPG via a utility company to do the works , waiting for a survey next week...the cable is just laid there exposed and it's so tempting to carefuly manoeuvre it round into the new position but the consequences if it goes pop are making me have my sensible head on!!!!

Afternoon I need to move my electrical supply and my understanding is that the joint has to be made outside, 1 picture is of the existing supply and where I'd like it moved too and the other picture is a suspended timber floor which I'm wondering if they'll be ok to run the cable under there

Hi The gas is in the understairs cupboard and the supply into the gas meter comes in from the road and then bends 90 degrees up into the isolation valve so it appears that this is a seperate pipe, I've unscrewed the cap off the top and there is no smell or sound of gas coming out so it would...

Morning I'm knocking through the wall with the Mains cable on and the distribution board so I've opened up a pit for them to joint and move the suppy, the other issue is the pipe sticking up which will need to go as well, so 2 questions is it gas and what is involved in removing it. Thanks

When I say cladding my mistake I meant a facia board around the top to match what is on the front and then the roof felt to tuck over, then it was a question of rendering it, blocking it flush with the pillars to give the wall more protection from the elements amd then rendering, I realise I...
