Lol that's one span at 5.5m, The other span is 5.5m but spec is for a 356x171x67! Both have a 10mm plate welded ontop to pickup the inner and outer leaf.

Afternoon, I am soon to take delivery of the structural steels in preparation for a knock through on the rear of our house. The delivered steels will support the existing first floor at the rear of the house and also the joists for the new flat warm roof on the new rear extension. The steels...

Thanks all, Managed to nag the fabricator to the point that one of his team turned up this afternoon, Just as well he did! Existing walls using metric bricks (extension uses imperial), 65mm cavity existing walls (100mm new cavity), how new and existing are going to interface etc and...

Good morning, I am managing an extension on my own house and trying to pin down my chosen steel fabricator to call out and measure up is proving difficult! With that in mind I am looking at confirming the measurements and placing the order. The structural engineer has provided lengths for the...

After some more advice please, I'm pouting concrete Tuesday, I've the steel in, mesh and all approved by building control. The finished concrete level (ground beam and footings) will be 600 below DPC, but the other end of the groundbeam will be higher (height of existing slab). I've made up...

Sound, so either - suspend with wire from above, (I can knock up some wooden trestles to hang it from), or - sit the wire mesh frame on those plastic foot spacers My only concern is those plastic spacers could puncture through the cellcore with all that weight (even if we'll distributed)...

Good morning, I am just finishing the last of the groundworks for a rear extension. This last stretch requires the installation of a concrete encased universal column to bridge between two padstones (to save excavating down to 2m in medium heave clay). All appropriate calcs and drawings have...

Seven peroni....... Has anyone used one of these extension kits before??? It's looking like it could be an expensive lesson... http://www.reuter-shop.com/grohe-rapido-t-extension-set-275-mm-a36821.php

Ah lads it's brutal!!!! I am the biggest advocate of measure twice, cut once.... I wouldn't mind but even when I cut the blue plastic box back I was within the tolerance lines, Six pints of peroni in and I'm thinking of the seventh or firing up the angle grinder...... (P.S. Never...

Evening guys, I'm raging, fitted a concealed grohe shower valve, similar to this one; https://www.showerspares.com/search/grohe_rapido_t_universal_thermostatic_mixer_valve_35500_000/ I seem to have got my tolerances wrong at the time of fitting it, Now I have tiled and tried to fit...

Evening all, Just tipped in from a late shift and had to do the dreaded 'lock the front door routine'. The front door to out house is UPVC with a multi point locking mechanism and euro lock. When I enter the house and then turn to lock the door it cannot be pushed shut quietly and then...

Gents, thank you for all the advice provided, The stratum tiles are an absolute ball ache to grout but for my first attempt at tiling I'm rather happy with the outcome.... The recess is manufactured from five pieces of white quartz, didn't realise how expensive the stuff is but I did...

Hi guys, Just about to install some body jets in a new shower I'm setting out and wanted to double check before I commit to something which will not work effectively...... Would I be right in thinking that installing a pressure loop would equalise the pressure between all six body jets...

Popped to Topps Tiles yesterday out of desperation, the guy left me completely confused and nearly over a £100 worse off, I ducked out and said i needed to check a couple of things, My local builders merchants has a rubbish collection of tile adhesives, none appear suitable for porcelain...

Alright fellas, I installed a Hardibacker equivalent (builders merchants have stopped stocking Hardibacker but now carry an alternative) on the last wall to ensure its sturdy enough to hold the tiles without any issues, I know I need to join the backer boards on each wall with scrim tape...
