Great, thank you for the quick reply(y)

Hi, I'm getting a loft conversion done and the ensuite location makes it virtually impossible to connect new soil pipe to existing SVP at rear of house. Want to avoid a macerator so an option is for new toilet pipe to have new SVP at side of house (as shown in picture) to connect to existing...

Looks good thanks

Good point, thanks. How would you recommend fixing these panels to 100mm sq wood posts https://www.eastcoastfencing.com/fencing/fence-panels/closeboard-fence-panels/ultra-heavy-duty-closeboard-panels/6ft-x-5ft-ultra-heavy-duty-closeboard-fence-panel

Using Wickes 100mm incised pressure treated posts. Would you advise further treatment like bitumen paint for bottom section but think these may be good to go already. Using these panels...

Thanks for replying. Post are 100mm sq rather than H shape so panels would be fixed and not slid in. Personally would prefer the 'panel, panel, panel' look over the 'panel, post, panel' look and wondering if this would be easier to install and also stronger? Good point about pleasing...

Hello, am planning my fencing work and am wondering why it seems standard practice to fix/ slot fence panels between posts instead of actually fixing to face/ front of the posts. I.e. if I'm using 100mm wooden posts then each panel could be fixed 50mm to front of posts butted up to next panel...

Thank you that sounds a good plan. So a steel prefab lintel rather than concrete or SE & RSJ.

Well that sounds like good news. Would I still need a steel then or could concrete lintel be enough- builder who just came to quote thought non lb and proposed lintel...Should I still get SE do you think and do I need to notify building control?

A. The joists in the room on the other side run the same way (parallel to the wall). B. The wall ends at the top of the bedroom. In the loft the joists run across the wall. Is this what you mean?

Hi, I would like to knock through dining room/front room in victorian semi but not sure if load bearing. Thought it was lb as it is continuous- there is a wall directly above in the bedroom but looking at the joists in the bedroom above, which run parallel to the wall, suggests it isn't? Plan on...

Hi, I have read some of the past threads- very useful thanks- but am unsure whether my clearance may be ok to use standard plaster around. Wood burner is 5kw will sit in the fireplace with bare bricks behind and to the sides. PIicture attached Want to plaster the rest of the chimney...

Calm down big dawg. I aint no fool so I pay sombody else the danger money. Roofer paid to sort flaunching not pot. The pot is at back of house.

Alright matey I know the deal re responsibility what I am asking about is the water getting into my loft and then the bedroom ceiling....

Could you take and post pics of the stack from outside, and the lead back gutter, and the flaunching? will get back to you with these thanks Why was a damaged pot left on the stack? The roofer said some flexible mastic or such could be used to fill the hole but he did not have any- he...
