Hi i am thinking of building such a path leading to a squarish area where i can site a corner arbor.AS I want a rustic look I thought of using compressed scalpings as relatively cheap material which wont allow too many weeds through.I wondered what I could use as an edging assuming that is...

avoiding water ingress is the main factor of course, but to someone who has little or no knowledge of building industry each loud bang sounds like the roof is giving way albeit gradually

the weather conditions were excellent in fcat it was very hot i seem to remember.On memoery i think the top layers of which thee seemd to be sevral wee all apl;ied onm the same day but I cannot be sure as itds been almost two years now.I know the whole job took well over weekend with saturday...

the roof structure ie sterling boards and joists .Whem you said platform I thought that was what you were referring to I just had a quick look on top of the roof and cannot see any signs of the glass fibre coming adrift of the structure

spoke to a technician from Topseal who supply the roofing material ,and he reckoned changing the current one we have which is grey in colour to a white one would help as white tends to reflect heat wheras grey is more likely to absorb it .That would of course entail considerable extra cost with...

someone did something similar by using concrete blocks round the perimeter.I would need a heck of a lot of them on my roof and then how would the rain water drain off?

can this stuff be replaced with normal felt? I am not sure I fully understand you .As far as i am aware the cast looks fairly well attached to the decking beneath it although i will check. The noises are most apparent in the evenings as the air cools and in the morning as it warms up, mostly...

pretty large I guess .The extension is 4x8 mtrs and the adjoining garage about 3x6 mtrs.Sounds quite a major job .Would that not ruin the fibre glass ?

I had the extension built 2 years ago and opted for fibre glass instead of felt roofing because it has a longer life span.Trouble is i am getting the most unbelievably loud banging noises coming from it.The manufacturers ,Topseal, have been of little help and I cant find much on the net...

I am having my current staircase renovated with new oak spindles, rails, newels ,a spandrel frame and an oak veneer for the string and i was wondering what i should use to apply over what will be untreated wood.The installer recommended an Osmo product, didnt specify which one but I was...

general rule of thumb round these parts is approx £ 400 pw ,regardless of size

must admit a builder told me that, but then i heard someone else say it depended on the sand used, ie plastering not building, and whether lime had been added or not

Interesting 4 quotes . 10 windows one very small and one quite large and another with toughened glass, the rest being average size plus a composite door with side window .3 quotes came to be between One came at £5500 using Koomerling windows and Solidare composite door another at £5692...

I spoke to a surveyor who told mem all the houses down my road are of poor quality build(1930s) but i need to do something on mine as he also said the brickwork is poor quality with most of the pointing being rather soft and some of the bricks are spalling, so its either render or repointing...

i Thats something all three of the contractors I had call round have told me , especially the last one. Another profile manufacturer i found is Duraflex who seem to be well regarded http://www.duraflexwindows.co.uk/countylist1.htm

yeah i am really tempted by them , in fact i already have one fitted in my extension.I wanted to fit a British made product which halo is , but if its quality does not match Kommerling then I it will have to be that ,provided the price is right :)

got my second quote today. Salesman first asked me how much did expect to pay which threw me back just as his verbal price was i.e. 2k over the first one I had.Then he asked me if I was getting some more quotes to which I replied yes of course.That was this morning This evening he returned...

being as the regulation states 150mm max from the corner and my run is about 320mm you would then suggest adding a second socket before it enters the wall? How about a wallplate with connector inside?
