Hi Blagard, sorry edited my post as you were writing, The new concrete will be approximately 30-35mm deep and 1 brick width. too thin? the dpc is right underneath the high brick so removing another course will be a right pita. I hear what you say about a more solid bridge....slate?

Hi, im in need of a bit of advise with the following. here is a diagram of my floor screeded up to the bricks, this was a mistake on my behalf. i should of either made them smaller or removed them so the screener could screed up to the cavity. I need to fix this issue quickly, the...

These are now the closest yet! http://www.travisperkins.co.uk/p/ibstock-brick-west-hoathly-wakehurst-multi-stock/412320/3893386 Thanks Stuart

yep, that's the closest I've seen yet :D It's the black flecks/spots that have thrown me, they are really prominent on a lot of bricks but none on others! I first thought it was a kind of road tar or mould, thanks tony that's a great start for me!👍

Hi, I'm looking to order the bricks very soon, I'm hoping someone will be able to help me identify these bricks so I can match them, I understand there are brick matching services but I'd prefer many peoples views as well as the builders merchants! Besides they are all closed today. £5 to...

Hi all, I've been reading about how to install loft steels for a loft conversion, I have read that sometimes it's not possible due to the construction of the party wall itself. Could you kind folk identify the bricks in this picture and tell me if they are good enough to build a loft...

Hi tony, yes it's without a dorma, that's a great idea about the load bearing walls below, I'll put that into the drawing. Other then that are there any glaring mistakes?

Thought I'd better add that the front bathroom will be smaller to allow for the positioning of the new staircase.. It's not ideal but it will be a shower room to service two bedrooms only. So I believe it will be big enough (1.5x2.5m) Thanks

Hi all, I was hoping some of you would be able to have a look at these two plans, the first is my newly agreed plan of the first floor, which I'm very happy with, it has a full height 3.5m x 6.6m extension to the side which I'm due to start fairly soon. Story....... At the very...

Hi guys, sorry about the hijack but im looking for some info on ashp, LPG or oil, I have already submitted another thread but no luck there, I'm hoping you guys could offer some help! Thanks Hi, I am just weighing up my options for heating a standard 3 bed 1930's semi. At the moment it...

Luckily I have budgeted for skilled tradesmen, I'm just wondering if people think I'd be better off with an air source heat pump over a standard combi boiler, or LPG to heat the house. and which are easier to and essentially which are cheaper to install for the plumber? It is effectively a...

Thanks for the reply! Definitely not scrimping on anything, just looking into all options and costings involved. Regarding your dislike of the word "cheap", is this not a DIY forum?.....

Jeez, that sounds like a nightmare, was this YOUR house or someone you know?

Hi, I am just weighing up my options for heating a standard 3 bed 1930's semi. At the moment it has no central heating at all and a small wood burner in the lounge. When the extension is finished it will have upstairs; 4 beds (1 in the loft) 2 ensuite shower rooms (1 in the loft) 1...

Oh ok, that's interesting, I didn't actually think of the extra financial implications of adding the subservient over a seamless, I think I need to book in with the architect and get some of his views.

At last someone who agrees with me! I've had this conversation a few times, and I'm of the same same opinion as you, we are the only semi in the road of 8 houses, all the others are big detached ones, and opposite are nothing but fields. So I think we have a good case to put forward...

Haha! Have you been talking to the missus???!!! Many thanks prentice boy, ill post a picture when I've finished it.

Good point! I've found the make and model which is an aga much Wenlock. And they are designed to go through the top! so at least I can track down the flue parts properly. Thanks everyone.

[/url] Brilliant thanks for the reply, our house is on the right, the extension is obviously going out to the right, the extension will be exactly as the original

That's great news thanks!, where would I find a straight coupler? Ebay?
