Thanks. Any other opinions before I get back to the people I bought it off? Can I do anything with it without moving it eg. is dust available on its own that I can add to it?

I got a loose half tonne load of type 1 today with a view to gettin another half tonne tomorrow. I went to a well known Sand and Gravel supplier. I have wheel barrowed it from my trailer to my patio excavation and given it an innitial rake. I must say I am really disapointed as there is barely...

Type 1

Some places around here delivery dumpy bags for £35 and I know Wickes charge £42. I have heard though that some price differences are due to some places selling "Scalpings" where mud is a small percentage of the content as opposed to MOT Type 1 which tends to be dearer. Not sure whether there...

Thanks for the advice. I have been quoted £18 per tonne plus vat by a local gravel yard. Im going to put a 1 tonne 5mm sub base down as the price is cheaper than I thought and they will allow me to take half a tonne at a time in my trailer. I have around 1/3 of a tonne of old pea gravel to...

Hi I am building a patio 4.05m by 2.25m on a well compacted lawn with clay soil. It will consist of both 18" and 24" square slabs, most of which I have got free of charge. I would therefore like to minimise the cost of the base layers. I have looked at a few guides online and most of which...

Hi. My washing machine (Appliance) Valve leaked water when being turned on and off so I set about changing it. I got a Plumsure one from B&Q as Screwfix were out of stock. I followed what I beleive to be the correct procedure with of course no PTFE tape and copper pipe: - Saw off pipe to...

Thankyou for the swift and concise replies. Ill have a look and see if I can use 15mm copper. If I can get away with something that big then what size wood drill bit would you recommend for drilling through the door frame?

Morning all. I am comming towards the end of re-piping my Central Heating system. It was previously a sngle pipe loop with 30 year old Rads but have replaced it with new Rads, 22mm speedfit Feed and Return, 15mm copper tails and TRVs. The problem is, my kitchen has a newly tiled floor and...

hi, thanks again. 3/4" equates to 19.5mm but the fitting reducer I took out must be around 21 to 21.5mm so I cant understand what is going on!

Thanks for the responses. I was hoping not to have to remove the Tee junction as it is under the airing cupboard floor boards hence awkward to get too. Also to move the pipe above and beneeth the junction up or down to accomodate a new joint, I would have to disconnect it from the boiler in the...

Hi there I am doing some modifications to my central heating system. I beleive the original system was put in either late 60s or early 70s. There is a 28mm gravity fed copper pipe running from the boiler to the cylinder which, until this evening, had a 15mm single pipe loop spured off of...

I pulled up the floor boards in the hall today and found a lead pipe comming in from the front garden. There is a small gap in the bricks where the Gas and Water mains come in - it is at this point where the pipe splits for the bathroom and kitchen. You can not get a fingure in there, never mind...

Thanks. Can you fit these to a lead pipe?

Evening all I bought a 1929 house 6 months ago which I am starting to renovate. As far as I can tell there is a 15mm copper pipe comming in from the road to the stop cock chamber in the front garden and then goes off in the direction of the house where somewhere it joins old lead pipe work...

Good evening everyone. Just spent the last 2 weeks researching into Combi Boilers on google and allot of the answers came up here hence I signed up today. I am shortly moving into a 1920s Semi Detached in need of modernisation and would like to replace the Baxi Bermuda Back Boiler with a...
