Online price have better terms than my account price, banging...

I expect you are correct, for some reason I always think "slab" but strip foundation seems sensible. I was also pondering reinforced concrete piers but that creates different problems...

After posting this I rang them. I wonder if they actually employ people that understand accountancy. I was told I shouldn't be receiving a statement showing unallocated payments, I mused the question that if they weren't allocating payments then the account holders like myself would...

I have a credit account with this company all of my transactions relate to the Benchmarx side of the account. I have spoken to the manager of Benchmarx who directed me to Travis Perkins Accounts Team as he couldn't fathom what has gone wrong. I have received invoices for purchases made which I...

This is the issue, I don't know anything about concrete, I'm building this for my in-laws and the father in law is over me like a hawk, so I'm thinking slab, I spoke to a builder who quoted £4440 for machines, muckaway, shuttering and reinforced slab, I thought that was alone was excessive...

Good morning, I'm building a summer house, I've been advised I need a reinforced concrete slab for the base comprising of 150mm thick up to 225mm around the perimeter, ontop there will be two course of facing brickwork incorporating airbricks then the timber frame will built off of the bricks...

If you do saw through the bolt leave the saw in place and open the door, otherwise the bolt may drop again and you'll be back in the same boat.

The Key is a Star Bolt Key, try buying a new one before employing a lock smith. Try jiggling the door as your turn the key or lift the key up and down, side to side to engage it with the splines. Also you can take the cover plate off and see if you can see the splines of the lock through the...

Transpires the "Terms" weren't set up on my account, but that to my mind doesn't explain the price difference in a 30 day period - suspicious! Branch manager was very apologetic when presented with the evidence and credited the differences and promised to reinstate or set up Terms. Small...

I understand the bigger businesses get better terms, that's is not my point. Why have a trade counter and invite tradespeople to open accounts if they are then going to shaft us as we aren't the Big Boys? Doesn't happen in Tescos does it, oh the person in front spend £500 on their shopping but...

I have a credit account, some months I don't spend anything other months £500 plus, not alot really, but nonetheless it seems a bit naughty...

Anybody use them, I have for quite some time but tomorrow I'm going into branch to moan like a drain... Last month a full flow isolator valve 15mm cost £5.70 + VAT each. Yesterday I was charged £8.49 + VAT each. Likewise 15mm compression elbow, April last year they were £1.62 each + VAT...

Take the plinth off and if you have a mobile phone with a camera take a picture of the void behind the units, better still take a video of it,see what that shows....

Not really out of choice more out of frustration. The extension was built so close to the neighbours extension I couldn't do the hole from outside. With bricks so hard I'd normally drill the circumference of the hole with sds bits and punch it out from outside, but you can't do that from inside...

I've got this exact model, I've used it for 6 inch core holes. Often it's a combination of substrate and core bit, cheap core bits are cr&p, if your coring wet brick then it's awful, if your coring flint you need this drill, 2 core bits and a bucket of swear words. I core five inches into...

I wouldn't buy decking from Marketplace from a mate of a mate of a mate, there is probably a bad reason it's so cheap. If you a serious about quality I'd invite to to Google Jacksons Fencing, they are based in Kent but do distribute. Redwood isn't fancy, it's just a name, Redwood/Whitewood...

To take the drawer front off remove the grey plastic covers on the side of the drawers, there are 2 partial hidden plates which are cut for a phillips screw driver, insert screwdriver and turn and brackets and drawer front will come out. Fill holes in drawer front with 2 pac filler drill out...

Around 2010 my sister bought a house which had previously had a loft conversion. The sellers didn't have a Completion Certificate for the loft conversion that was carried out in the year 2000, apparently the reason being is that the council don't always issue them, so instead my sister took...

We had a similar issue, the lead flashing appeared good, the pointing appeared sound the cap appeared good. We had a roofing company out that applied waterproofing to the stack which solved the ingress of water.

Just get a crowbar and pull the boards up, you'll be there for a month of Sundays trying to find the old screws and another month trying to get them out. Thereafter you can hit the screws with a hammer as if to bend them and they generally snap. Wear eye protection.
