Ah I will have a proper look at the video, many thanks.

Thanks but what do these do ?

Can anyone give me an idiots guide on how to adjust these hinges. Door is not level in the frame and is rubbing on the bottom handle side. Many thanks Rob

Sorry guys I am confused why I can’t run them down the middle? Which ever route I opt for will mean drilling or notching. The length of the run is about 5m’s and then from each T to rad is approximately 2.5m’s

Thanks Iddy what is the thinking behind this?

Thanks for the reply I am aware of the regs around notching and drilling but either way I do it the joists will need one or the other. My main concern is around the routing and if I should be at 22 or 15mm.

I need to extend my central heating from my newly built extension into the old part of my house. On the first floor I need rads in the three bedrooms and in the bathroom, utility and lounge on the ground floor. Is the below ok as a route? It appears best to me to as the joists run as the lines...

Does flush fitting mean there is no upstand? I am struggling to workout the upstand distance

Apologies for the repeat I thought I had posted about a different door I am having a mare.

Is there anyone who can identify the make and model of this upvc door hinge the locking screw is missing on two of them.

Can you recognise that from the photo ? Are they easy enough to fit ?

I have lost one of the Allen screws from this upvc door hinge causing it to drop. Can I get a replacement or do I need to get the whole hinge ?

These look to be the only two ways

that’s what I thought but I can’t seem to change it

I have hung a door and despite the gap being perfect when pre hung and the hinges cut in nice and flush the gap is massive. I must be doing something wrong? The hinges don’t close up right so I can’t see how I can avoid a gap. Sure I am being thick.

I have four dormer's that are currently built with a facing of marine ply. The initial plan was to render them but now I am considering upvc cladding. My question is around what the cladding goes on to. Do I need some sort of damp proof membrane, then vertical battens and then the cladding? I...

Ah sounds like I am on the right track. I had to cut the bolts back as they were far too long so I cut them just before the nut.

I am in the process of plaster boarding my self build but I have hit a snag. I am just doing the stairwell and I have this timber that is bolted to the wall. Its the timber that the joists hang off and protrudes about 2 inches from the wall. I have cut the bolts off and was planning to plaster...

I am about to break through from my extension to the main house and I am seeking advice re lintels. I have asked building control but they taking their time in replying. The wall I am breaking through is 9” solid so I am thinking two 100mm x 65 mm reinforced concrete lintels. There is not too...

I like the sound of the backers boards might just let me get away with screed. Would I put a damp proof membrane in, then backers boards, UFH and then screed ?
