Ive got a similar problem though my span is 1800mm. Dont know if the span is a bit too long for concrete. I cant seem to find catnics of that size either

The only thing above actual opening (as it is the gable end) would be bricks from the wall of the bathroom above and a window, and a pulin of the roof above that, not fogeting a purlin just above the opening from the outhouse we are knocking through to. Do you think some sort of steel...

HI, I thinking of knocking through our kitchen on the gable end into our out house to make a larger kitchen. The opening span would be 1800mm in a wall with no cavity. (two hardbricks right up against each other as the house was build in 1890). There is only a bathroom above the kitchen with a...

Sorry, And Cheers. selected wrong subject

Hi. I am replacing at shower tray with a 800 x 800 quadrant shower tray. Unable to use riser legs due to space I have to fit it into is very tight for space. I have made a plinth for it to sit on. All surounding edges are suported. Question is, the inside of tray is about 5mm higher than the...

patio sloping towards house then drain. would it be ok to just tile up to the house wall (75mm below damp course) with tile against the house sloping away slightly creating a sort of wide v shape valley for the water to drain away to the drain :?:

we live in a victorian house and the lower room (living room) struggles to retain any heat as we are an end terrace so the any warmth just seems to leak straight through the exterior walls . Also have have a large bay window. Just thought if I insulated the ceiling at least it would help...

the only wires would be one that leads to the one ceilng light in the room below and also there are four double wall sockets on each wall so there would be cables running to them also. but that would be all. No electric shower

problem is we have large victorian achitrave on ceiling which would be impossible to get of in tact. is there not an insulation that is a bit like cotton wool

hi. does anyone have any ideas on insulating the cavity between the first floor ceiling and the second floor without having to take the ceiling off or taking the floor boards up. I am thinking about pumping some if that wooly insulation that is normally pumped into cavity walls. Does anybody...

my mothers neighbour has a cooker hood extracting into the roof space which is also the same space as my mums kitchen roof space as there is no dividing wall in the roof. The problem is the extracting pipe does not vent to the outside, just into the roof space. As you can probably imagine the...

My neighbour has a cooker hood extractor going in to his roof space with out any vent to the outside. is this legal

Hi, I an insulating my attic and need to put 40mm of kingspan inbetween rafters and an extra 60mm under the rafters. The queston is because with two seperate boards I would have 4 layers of foil rather than just two layers of foil if i was to use a 100mm board for instance. Would 4 layers of...

Yes, it is more or less rendered. I can't see any slate in any case. It would be a batten thickness (about one inch) at the batten and then arches to about 5mm or so just under the slate half way between each batten. I think I will go with a 25mm airgap from bottom of the batten and with the...

What ive read up about on the internet is that if it is unfelted you could use a 25-30mm gap because the air could circulate easily through the gaps of the slate. Problem is with my roof there is a sort of lime mortar under the slates, arching from batton to batton, presumably to seal the drafts...

Would it be ok to just have a 30mm air gap (rather than the standard 50mm) between the kingspan pir and the under side of the roof battons plus the extra bit of space (0mm - 10mm ) between the under side of the battons and the lime mortar underneath the slate. I dont have any felt. just the lime...

Would it be ok to just have a 30mm gap between the kingspan pir and the under side of the roof battons plus the extra bit of space (10mm or so) between the under side of the battons and the lime mortar underneath the slate. I dont have any felt. just the lime mortar which fills in the gaps...
