I think i have a picture of the brest before i boarded it up. I'll post it tonight when I get home. Thanks for your help.

Can't post a picture as the brest is boarded over. Basically someone has taken away part of the brest to place the header tank on. The combined size of both brests is about 13-14 foot across, they curve up in a arrow head shape and merge at the top into one. On the left brest is a 'notch'...

Yes, thats correct. Although i've just been up to measure it. Its acutally about 10" x12". Do you still think it's ok??

The hole is at the side of the brick panel but so some bricks don't have preceeding bricks under them. This is whats worrying. Hope this makes sense. :oops:

Hi, could someone please answer a few questions I have about header tanks. 1. Does the header tank have to be placed above the cold water storage tank or is it ok to be on the same level? 2. What is the normal litre/gallon capacity of a header tank? 3. What is the smallest recommended...

:D :D No chance of that, the fireplaces were bricked up and chimney capped years ago. Structurally but do you think it would be ok???

Hi all. I was wondering if someone could help, i have noticed that there are some bricks missing from my chimney brest. In the loft my chimney has two fire place brests merging into one and out through the roof. On one of the chimney breast some bricks are missing just under where the brest...

Thanks Adam. Am i right in assuming that if the fcu is not there this would not be permissable.

Hi. I've just had my attic converted but i'm a bit worried about the way the new sockets have been wired. The electrician has put a 30a jb on the ring main and has a 13a fcu on the wall above this. The fcu is then wired to a double socket which in turn is wired to another double socket and...

Yes TexMex, i am looking to drill trough the external wall. Thanks for your help.

I'm looking to install a new waste pipe in the kitchen. At the moment the sink and washing machine share the same one which is causing some problems. My question is what kind of holesaw should i use to make the hole for the new pipe. :oops: I have been to my local b&q but all they have is...

Hi everyone. Had a new white kitchen fitted about 2 and half years ago. Have noticed recently that it seems to be discolouring even though the grease trap in extractor is regulary changed and they get a regular clean. Don't want to have to change the doors already. Anyone got any ideas on...

renovator, I have also had two fireplaces removed and bricked up and as in paulh53's case there was no air bricks used. The chimneys have also been caped off using a mushroom shaped cap. This was done 3 years ago and I have had no problem with damp. However on the sides of the two chimneys...

The house is about 90 yrs old and after removing the stairs carpet I found many are cracked and splintered badly, so I want to remove them and replace with new. What size/type of timber is usually used when constructing stairs?? :oops:

Could anyone tell me where I can get stair treads & risers. I have checked the usual diy stores but none seem to stock them. :? Also could anyone give me any tips on how best to fit them & remove the existing. :oops: Many thanks.

For once Scoby she actually liked the idea of the pvc cladding. :P Ain't I lucky :wink:
