    DPC around a new window

    No I don't think so. We are in Wales so the Covid thing is a bit more strict here. I just messaged him if covering the pillar in bitumen between the window and brickwork and down to the DPC in the pillar would be sufficient. He simply replied "yes" and doesn't respond with any more... He isn't...

    DPC around a new window

    The BC wasn't doing site visits at the time (Covid). The builder drilled into the ground and the BC said it exceeded the requirements. It was 35cm and BC said 25mm was the required standard.

    DPC around a new window

    The pier is solid brick I believe. There is no cavity there as it was either side of the garage door. See picture of it before the wall. The garage wood frame was removed and just had brick there.

    I can't find the fuse for the heating system

    Doing a course?

    Hi, I am keen to do some DIY Electric Wiring so I would like to do a college course on Electrics. Can anybody a good course to get started with? I don't really see it as a career but I am keen to learn in general. It would also help my career in IT as it involves a lot of cabling. Thanks, Mark
