Yes bit of a mine field. I did read something on the LABC site about glass not being as important for part q “There is no specification for glass for Part Q compliance where the window is not coupled with or adjacent to a door and has locking hardware.” And then “Making an opportunist thief...

After some more digging- we have found these windows appear to come part q compliant as standard and simply emailing the manufacturer to get the missing pdf is all that’s needed so that is a weight off- they weren’t cheap windows. Thank you for all the comments - certainly something to be...

I think if it gets picked up we might be able to apply a security film, but potentially re glaze or worst case replace the whole ground floor. It’s a shame they are nice windows and I’m not really clear on what extra would of been needed, he just assumed anything sold now days would meet the...

So when ordering the front door he selected the pas24 option, when ordering his windows he didn’t so he won’t get the certificate for them. I’m hoping some one would forward me a copy that we can just put in the folder with all the others just to check the box, to save him having to retro fit...

Hi People, i am trying to get a mate out of a bind on his self build - has anyone got a copy of their windows PAS24 certificate they might send me? hes had everything inspected but hes missing this bit of paperwork to get his completion certificate, hes somehow ticked the box for his door but...

Thank you for all the replies so far

Hi, hopefully someone will have some experience with this- my 200 year old end of terrace cottage has its downpipes draining onto the neighbouring village hall car park and runs away into their storm drains, its always been like this and there is no soak away in my property. The village hall...

I've done this recently, I just cut the hatch with a circular saw to the correct depth, when re instating I just under cut the insulation around the perimeter enough to screw a timber batten to support the infill, screw and PU glue job done.

Watch out for that one too, I found out that with the plot with outline permission I was selling-after assuring us he only wanted the one plot the potential buyer had sneakily submitted plans for two 4bed places instead of the single 3 bed we had plans for, ,with a huge gable end overshadowing...

Thanks again westie! winston, the costing isn't too bad from looking at the western powers estimating page, and irrelevant anyway, it has to be moved regardless, and I am aware who's property the meter is.

Thank you. I am trying to get an electrician I know to have a look soon and then I will go from there.

The pole is close by, but in the village hall car park and I couldnt face having to dig up the Tarmac, if it was possible to just clip it down to ground level and then shoot under the house that would be my ideal outcome I think. Would I have to have some sort of steel protective casing at the...

Hi guys, I've had a look and couldn't find anything that answers this specifically... I want to move my consumer unit and meter from a partition wall that I plan on removing near to my front door. My current power supply is overhead, clipped down to where it enters the house, having it...

If it's only a mm, you could roll out a length of dpc and cut to length and slide under, or fold it in half to double the thickness to suit.

Where possible I, and everyone I work with makes sure they land on a joist, where they miss occasionally we always support the join with a timber H- frame underneath.

Chemfix it down with some round headed bolts?

It's not a back boiler to the rads and a separate immersion heater for hot water, if that's plausible?

Edit, just saw pictures.

They can stop either side of the hinges etc, you can get fire rated ironmongery.

As you said something to put on top of the joist, for future floors- caberfix joint and joist adhesive is quite good we use it when it is supplied and have never had a squeaky floor so far. It's polyurethane based but thicker than the regular foamy glue. Obviously used in conjunction with your...
