Yes I'm in No2. And yes I had noticed the extension kitchen window is not showing on the plan. I believe this was intentional by the architect in favour of my neighbour. The window appeared on a separate plan with approval not showing my property layout or the fence. Again I believe this was...

It's a two storey Build.

Neighbour is building a kitchen extension which I feel is too close to my property. From the photo, the blue fence to the left is my fence and boundary. From when the skin is built the narrowest distance from the extension to my fence will be 40cm and its widest further along where the window is...

Next door neighbour is building a new 2 storey extension next to my property. The power to my property was supplied via an overhead cable from a pole in the garden but was rerouted by the board because it would interfere with the newbuild. The photo shows the new supply to my property which I...

Yes, it's fitted correctly.

Asked the plumber to come along and fit a Mini Arrestor https://www.screwfix.com/p/sioux-chief-dw660-2j-water-hammer-arrestor-bsp/1492r as every time I closed off the cold water to the sink, basin, toilet and washer a fairly loud thump was heard by my neighbours whom had mentioned this to me...

IMO it goes across the board for so called "tradesmen." They only want big paying jobs that they... If you like to do things yourself it's not too difficult to fiberglass your garage roof. I did mine a double garage for about £400. There was no required repairs to the deck needed. Just follow...

I'm trying or should I say, been trying for the past six months to get a plumber to fit a new bathroom suite but every time I phone my local plumbers they say "I'll phone you back", but never do. So what is it with plumbers that they don't want to fit a bathroom suite? Surely they can't all be...

Had a new oil combi CH system installed a couple of months ago and as part of the system the plumber fitted an Adey MagnaClean Professional2 filter which has dripped ever since. He came to see it but couldn't find the problem which was pretty obvious since the pipes were hot and the drips were...

I'm doing this for my daughter whom lives in a Council Association house. Problem. Over the pass two years the overflow from the attic tank has been more than dripping but not flowing with as many as ten plumbers inspecting the problem and the ballcock has been replaced three times. Safe to...

Thanks for that RF Lighting. I wasn't sure if that "I" was a "T" or not. Well spotted and thanks again. :D

My son-in-law has a MEM consumer unit with MCBs fitted with the initials that look like E I N which I'm not familiar with but have an idea they could be a German Manufacturer. Does anyone recognise the brand.

Thanks Big All. The boss wants me to make a shoe robe. Yae, yae I know! Basically, a 7' 6" x 4' wardrobe fitted out with box shelving for shoes. I should get 36 boxes into it. I have 2 pair of shoes, olduns and really olduns which leaves 34 boxes spare for all the new shoes the boss must be...

Old Tip! Get a piece of brown wrapping paper and the missus's iron. Place the brown paper over the glue and heat the iron to moderate hot. Place iron on brown paper over the glue and circulate gently for about a minute. Remove iron and brown paper. Most of the glue should now have melted and...

Can someone help me please. I want to make a straight cut to accept 5mm ply. The only router bits I can find are 6mm & 6.3mm. Do I have to use a 6mm bit for a 5mm work-piece or am I better continuing my search for a 5mm bit? I have a 1/2" router. Thank you in anticipation.

Hi, Does anyone know how to paint over silicone sealed windows. My job has just ended up mottled :cry:

Ooops! Sorry! I plan to be doing one coat Dulux Preserver Primer, 2 Coats Dulux Undercoat and one coat Dulux Gloss.

I have a new large pine cabin to paint which has loads and loads of knots to be treated. I don't fancy the idea of having to do every single one with knotting solution and was wondering if any of you helpful chaps have a quicker and better way of doing the job? Thank you in anticipation.
