I don't know what you are SEEKING here.. Andy

Don't think that's correct

He was seek but as English as you and I. Problem was he followed building code from India

Ill be sure to ask them if you are cowboys next time. I'd imagine they advertise these sorts of things upfront.

I think you are right.

The other bit that looks like a ledger board is actually a 2x4 they added to build the bricks up above. They wanted to leave that in place with the steel sitting under it. I said no, so they removed it.

He proped the internal rafters which supported the internal leaf. But the arch was left unsupported and as such collapsed immediately. The attached might help you understand what I mean. The plate had to be added as the bricks that collapsed were the ones supporting my flat roof wall plate...

Only a bit of it has the ledger plate. Which was put in for a through floor lift osme years ago.

If you prime it, it will stick. This is fairly common and what the builder did on my extension. The other option, which might be harder and more expensive is to have the concrete polished. But I'd only do this if you were planning to display the concrete floor. Burried would be better. More...

I'm not a builder so take this with a pinch of salt. Concrete floor is an easy one. Put some self leveling compound down after the pour. Very diy friendly. Re the stairs, I'm planning to do the same. Bit ill use a concrete terma block. Easy the but to size and lay. Have you considered...

I've had the builders in replacing a wooden lintle and archway on my external wall (now had an extension). The builder put up acros but didn't use strong boys or needles. Once he removed the lintle, the arch and 4 leafs above predictably gave way and feel down. This meant we have to ad a...

It's not so much "a problem" but more a question. Is it worth doing while I'm renovating the house.

Hi All, I have a traditionally built 1970s extension with a cold flat roof. I'm looking to build a new warm roof ontop of it, finished with grp. Keeping the existing 195mm birdmouth rafters. It's currently dead flat. Should I take off the current deck and ad furing strips to give myself a...

I have a 1920s home with soils wall.. The 1500cm opening above my kitchen has no external lintle. It seems to have. Very low arch. The internal course is supported by a wooden lintle. I want to ad a lintle to be safe however, I won't be able to get. 150mm heading. The maximum I can get is...

Yes, but even this sturdy wooden lintle looks like it will struggle to survive sir Kier Starling. It will probably need a digital ID card to stay in my wall.

Hi All, I've recently taken down some plastering in my 1930s house. I've got an old lintle that's currently overhanging it's header by about 1/1.5cm The lintle is 3inch thick. Do you think this would be OK, or do I need to address it.

As in my water bill?

I'm replacing my main water line which is currently a 22mm galvanised steel pipe.. I'm taking it from the meter outside and will be able to replacing the entire house, over time.. I've added an additional bathroom and will look to do a loft conversion (three bathrooms total). Water...
