2 Quick questions, in a new build (not domestic) can I bring drainage into a building, up through a reinforced slab and terminate it inside a timber frame stud partition? (its not a load bearing wall) or does it have to be in the room? I want to mount a wall basin and hide the waste pipes...

Thanks Woody that's a very helpful 'Brief' I assume this is so they can see how it is connected? How will I know if they are to be involved or not? there has been no mention so far, or will that be automatic with a timber frame single story building? non residential? Or do I have to...

Hi Woody I have duplicated this question elsewhere and you have answered oops :oops: Can I ask this then: I got a building notice form back with the planning and on the granted planning application it says: "you are advised to contact that section (Building Regs dept (I assume building...

Can anyone clarify? Full Planning has been granted for a small unit on a plot. The unit has a couple of offices, a workshop, and a sales counter/reception. I know the building regs have to be followed for disability access etc, windows, insulation etc An architect drew up basic...

Many Thanks Bethesda If it helps anyone in similar situation there are some videos by English Heritage one on Collyweston Slating and the other Swithland slating. The give a good overview of the techniques used and I believe similar to what we have been talking about...

Yes I see what you mean, by not bothered with time, I mean dont mind spending extra time on better detail, I dont mean days weeks :lol: We'll use some DPM for temporary protection. (I suppose we could use breather membrane too and staple down and pull back up when needed, easier to roll...

O.K I wont let it put me off :lol: In the last few days I have been quite fortunate, I have just been given as much random slate as I want to salvage from this pile! And its only 2 minutes away, builder was going to use it as hardcore! Here are just 4 I picked up to show randomness...

Yes first time doing a grp roof. (not put us off though, worse that can happen is we make a pigs ear of it). Catlad, Thanks for advice, funny we were just talking about it this morning and both agreed that its getting too cold and damp now and will probably have to patch up until spring...

Helping a mate replace his flat roof, 100m2. It looks like roof has joists too far spaced causing cupping in boards and failure of present GRP roof. (very badly laid). Three questions 1. GRP Manufacturer recommends OSB3 sheeting or Ply, OSB3 is cheaper but are there any downsides to...

When you say I assume 16" long and 12" long? by what widths? 1. Or do you mean any random width with all slates 16" and 12" long? 2. Or random widths and random lengths between 16 and 12? I think you mean 1. with alternating courses i.e row of 16 random widths then 12 randome 16,12,16,12...
