Is it only the 60mm that is Tritec, or can you get both 60 and 70 as Tritec? I looked on Rehau website, and the 70mm appears to be called TOTAL...?

I'm looking at some online sites, if you had a choice between Rehau Tritec (60mm i think) Rehau 706 (70mm) Duraflex Why would i choose 60mm over 70mm, is it just to match existing? Are the Duraflex any good? Duraflex seem most expensive, but only by a little, so wondering what if any...

Looking at Rehau windows, when they talk about their 60mm or 70mm windows, what dimension are they referring too?

Thanks, wouldn't they need to move the incoming service pipe to move the meter though?

Hi, I just wanted to know from anyone with experience, which is cheaper to move, gas or electric? Both meters are in the same cupboard currently on opposite side walls, i am removing the cupboard so would like to box the meters in and put a window in the rear wall, but i don't which meter...

Thanks, I'm doing the planning of the whole thing on this one hence the original question. The foundation and water/drainage sites are opposing sides of the building (10m apart) so i'm fairly sure it should be ok to do the digging all in one go. The water and drain connections on the...

Thanks, do plumbers generally arrange for ground works, as i also need strip foundations dug should i get the plumber to specify the works for the pipe trenches and then get groundworker to do the digging part. What's normal practice? The work i'm planning is extension to one side of the...

Hi Guys, Once trenches for waste and mains water pipes are dug who does the pipe work, a plumber or ground works people, i.e. as well as actually putting the pipes in the trench, who makes connections? I'm trying to figure out who to ask to quote for this stuff. Can i have the waste and...

Hi all, I'm planning some new fencing, most of the existing fence posts are full height concrete posts so i can just slip some new panels in (hoping they are the correct width) however there is a section of fence, probably 8 panels worth that has timber posts fixed to quarter height concrete...

I don't know why it should be so expensive, but since everyone so far seems to think it will be, take a look at SIP's panels and other roof options like u-roof which go up quickly, it's labour not materials where the most significant costs lie.

Need to extend concrete base raft/slab for new garage, the base will be going within 1.5m of a mature tree. The building is only timber (log cabin style) so will not be heavy but is 40m2 so need building regs. I emailed my local building regs people but they are not that helpful, have just said...

Am i permitted to disconnect a garage consumer unit? I need to dismantle my garage and so i intend to turn off the power, pull out MCB from main consumer unit, disconnect garage consumer unit from cable and roll up to keep out the way but leave the other end connected to main unit. Some bloke...

I asked a similar question a while back - //www.diynot.com/forums/floors-stairs-lofts/dormers.301463/#2201483 So depends if your willing to pay each person working the equivalent of (your quote - est. material cost) / (no. of men x no. of days work) and you feel thats reasonable.

anyone any thoughts on these timber log garages before i ebay my existing concrete one.

ok, had a look around and this guy will make to specs and is able to provide whatever roof pitch i ask for, for what seems like a reasonable price. Any thoughts on these -...

at a guess about 15 degrees. I'd like it to match the house pitch (40 deg) and the eaves height is currently only about 2100mm so it would provide a nicer space to work in.

hi nose, thanks for the reply. My plan was to replace the whole 24ft long roof and then build a frame inside but only in the rear 10ft or so to make it into a room i can work in. I was really most concerned with stability because the metal truss appears to my eyes to provide most of the...

Ours is pretty solid at the moment, but will it be if i take the roof off? Thats the question im trying to get to the bottom of

Yep thats right, but only about 10ft of the 24ft (at the rear end), i want to leave the rest of it as garage. I know i'll still need to build a frame internally for this section, but i didn't want to have to do that for the whole building, just for the office space area.

fair comment on the turd, i know it's not ideal :) Are the walls on these not strong enough to support a greater pitch? Why do you suggest full frame? I had considered that as an option, but tbh if i was going to do that I'd replace the whole thing, i dont have a lot of time so was looking for a...
