thanks, funnily enough it was this guy i was watching on youtube last night thinking thats doable

thanks, yes to be honest I think the same way, the guy that was repairing the neighbours property said about our builder that hes a general builder at best, not a roofer. I dont think i can fix the roof on my own, but the flashing i think i can do.

Afternoon, I had an extension built which started at the end of February 2025, the build should have taken about 8 weeks, but in the end it dragged on for 3.5 months due to delays with materials, etc. The builder was decent in many ways but very disorganised - he always left ordering materials...

just for someone thats in the same situation, i managed to put another wire in across the driveway fro one sensor to the other and it works, so its the wiring, the trouble is the wiring under the driveway. I've seen that they have battery operated photocells which i will try to get then i...

afternoon all Ive had nothing but issues with my gate since it was installed a couple of years a go, but today it opened fine then wouldnt close, its showing a Err 3 code which seems to be photocells, ive checked those and they have not been hit or moved, one side of the gate the sensor has a...

thanks, yeah i will try my best to get it out with as much as possible the top shelf had 6 dowels each side plus two screws and without taking the two units either side i couldnt get them out i will try to cut down the side. my main concern is that the filler panel at the bottom is not the...

Thanks I can't remove the carcass because it's been got dowels a d screws form the next cabinet so I will have to break it out I suppose I can always make my own filler to push it up slight to match the freezer door

Hi all , I ordered a taller fridge freezer for more space finally got it in today (despite arrow XL scratching my floor bringing it in the house) but I've got a problem. The doors of the fridge freezer do not align with the outside cupboard doors, the fridge before was 177cm and this one is...

next question because of the size of the opening, 1400cm, 2 windows or 3 for the flat window? what would look better, we have this lead design so we think if we go to small the lead design will look stupid

thanks builder said the same to me and he reckons it will look better to the eye

hi noticed last few days that there was water under the boiler, manage to get the camera in there at its this pipe, upon zooming in you can see there is a tiny crack in the pipe, is there something i can block the crack or is it a case of cutting the pipe and putting more in its place...

We originally wanted a bay window, planning drawings have a bay, would we have a issue if we put flat window

the original plans had a bay window in there, does that mean if i change it we could have issues with the building inspector?

Builders usual window company has let him down, im trying to help him because of the long delay its going to cause now with the lead time for the skylights and windows, especially as the builder said it would be better for the company to fit the glass as we wont have a warranty from the company...

when you say oddly can i ask what you mean, the only reason is we have some issues with the skylight on the top, the roof isnt finished by the way its, we need to order the skylights and window, and the skylight company have said it needs a upstand the and pitch is already very high and i feel...

Cant make our mind up on bay or flat window for the extension, the opening is only 1360cm, so we could get away with 60cm 3 pane bay window, the rest of the house has bays that's why i think it will look better, builder thinks flat window. Flat or bay? what do you think.

builder is going to remove one from the chimney breast (which is coming down at some point) to see if we can get close to that. far too much choice online to try to match it but as Ivor windybottom said above ours have the black spots which might help if i search for that aswell to see what it...

just found this one maybe less texture than what i have https://brickwholesale.co.uk/ibstock-surrey-orange-wirecut-facing-brick-pack-of-500/?_gl=1*uhiskk*_up*MQ..&gclid=CjwKCAjwp8--BhBREiwAj7og18bo9goAO2WgSiZhk-x2bJIovBvmdQKjy8DKO7hPTek8NqD2eUh-8BoC7YIQAvD_BwE

actually thats a good suggestion i will drop them email, the brick the builder has found just has alittle too much red rather than orange, with the extension on the side im worried it will really stand out as a add on

hi all i have a David wilson house, built 1997, builder found a brick to match the house but its a deeper red than what is on the house, ours is quite orangey, tried googling David Wilson orange brick but didn't give me any clues, bit of a guessing game really. the closest i could...
