I'm with United Utilities, unmetered and council band D - 3 bed semi. My annual water bill is almost 800 quid a year...... UU state the average is about 450 give or take. Does 800 quid seem right? Fresh water is Fixed at £207 x 1.329 and standing charge is 80 quid. Waste water is Fixed at...

Thanks Notch. I'm guessing it's already 'an issue' because the roof is solid - so I suppose its already outside the classification of a conservatory.

I have a square shaped conservatory. The bottom third is a dwarf cavity wall and the then it has a standard upvc frame on top and a solid insulated roof. Despite the roof, it's still too cold in the winter. Would it be possible to remove the upvc frame and construct a wooden frame in its...

How do u know that Mottie?

Great idea Woody

I'm not bothered about the caravan being there. What I'm notnhappy about is some random person moving into it and living there.

My next door neighbour has purchased an 18 foot caravan and has placed it on her driveway - I'm not particularly bothered by it. However, she has just allowed her friend to move into it for an indefinite period of time. The van is about 4 feet from the corner of my house. Do u think its...

Yeah, I'm OK wi that. Just wondering if I should bead it from floor to lintel, or just bead the bottom bit

I've had a normal window opening increased in size down to the floor. This has meant I need to make good the lower half. See pics. Obviously needs boaeding, beading and blending. Woukd you bead from the floor to the lintel, ie over the top of the existing bead and then plaster the entire...

Finally finished it. Fitting it in between full time working. Happy with how it's turned out and a big thanks to Daz for answering the questions I had. Really happy with the mat. It hides the hatch for the crawl space. I used an 8mm chrome tile trim that I lapped under the ply. It's one...

Well, I suppose I could do em all Al bang on 45, or use mitre angle finder for each corner.... I take u normally do em 45 Daz?

Made a start on it and it's going OK so far. I'm a bit unsure about the border.... particularly the mitres for internal and external corners...... do you just do them all at 45 degrees or do you do a specific cut for each corner...... some of my walls are out of square by quite a few...

I've used a Ball PS adhesive so far and it's been great. I'll stick wiv that. No direct sunlight so should be OK.

Yeah I'm gonna give the entire floor a skim coat of feather finish. No idea where the ply originated from, but Ive used used it everywhere else in my house with the same lvt, just not been done in herringbone prior to this Thanks Daz

What's the best way to set this flooring out? I'm about to lay some Polyflor LVT 9x3 parquet. I'm having a border. When setting out, would it be best to run the flooring parallel to longest wall? It runs down hallway, into kitchen, then turns 90 degrees into kitchen. I'm thinking parallel to...

All appears well now..... must have been the bus bar/mcb connection.

The main bathroom is a normal thermostatic shower off combi. This shower is an en suite. The house has been rewired fully, but the ensuite came later and the main CU is full.

I've been had a quick look. Current flow is 42.7 amps when the shower is on full. MCB is 50 amp Type B - Contactum branded I noticed a slight crackle at bus bar. I've reseated it, torqued it up and the crackle has stopped. Have not been able to get it to trip and ran it for 5 mins on full...

A family member has just moved into a newly renovated house. The entire gaff has been renovated- including an en suite. The electric shower trips the mcb after a few minutes of being on. Set up as follows: . Mira Sport Max 10.8 kW shower. . Seperate shower CU with 50 amp MCB . 10mm cable -...

I don't think that will work. If I drop the 110 down far enough on the left the accommodate the 32 mm pipe, there won't be any fall along its length to the right hand stack. I might have to tee the 40 and 32 together and run a length of 40 over to the main stack. Not sure the 110 looks the...
