I see, so to clarify; all bi-folds are supplied without handles or holes. Essentially the fitter has just not fit external handle/lock for some reason?

Those look exactly like what we have on the inside (except we don't have key holes!). So we can fit that to the outside too even if it wasn't meant to have one?

Hi, We've had bi-fold doors fitted to our extension, but they don't have an external handle or lock, meaning we can only lock them using a lever from the inside. I assume that is how they are designed, rather than someone forgot to attach that! My question is, can a handle and lock be added...

Hi, My extension floor is currently having screed put down over 150mm Celotex insulation. I don't know the thickness, but it would be a few cm of screed I'd say. We have a cat - he has already tried to get over the wet screed whilst it was in progress. I understand that screed dries about a...

We are having our conservatory replaced. The brick walls and windows are done and the roof is almost complete. There is one sky window pane to put in the roof still so there’s a hole in the roof, and the floor is about 30cm lower than it should be with the concrete slab exposed and insulation...

That’s right.

Yes, I do agree. We’d like to avoid all that for all the reasons you mention.

Oh, re the waste, I’m probably not using the right terminology. It’s a pipe from the sink which will carry the water from that down to the gully is it? I’m sure all that is fine. The only thing the building control guys had an issue with was passing through the insulation layer. But our plumber...

New building regulations came into force in June 2022, via Approved Document L. Paragraphs 4.16-4-17 in L1(a) concerns the ‘continuity of insulation’ in new dwellings, with requirements for insulation to be unbroken and consistent. New dwellings also have U value requirements under paragraph...

It’s mostly brick, with bifold doors. Personally I’d call it an extension on that basis alone, but ‘conservatory’ is what it said on the tin. Anyway, it’s not the builder who is having trouble - he wants to run the pipe under the floor at a decent angle for the water to flow down and it would...

That’s very unhelpful. If you can go through the insulation (which is what I’m asking) and the drop is enough, then what’s the issue?

Thanks. Ok, 1. The rest of our conservatory complies with full building regs, so no concerns there. It’s is only the implication of running a pipe through the insulation in the floor we are concerned about, as per the above. 2. Do you know where it says that a conservatory is classed as an...

Hi all, I wonder if you might know the answer to a question I have. We are having a replacement conservatory built and wish to move the kitchen from its current position to inside it. The sink will be located on the far side of the conservatory and the waste pipe would run from that to the...

Hi all, I hope you can help please? We have had builders in to fit a new bathroom. The floorboards have been up (one even put his foot through the ceiling), the bath and toilet taken out, the radiator has gone too. Anyway, shortly after they started their work we noticed a very high pitched...
