Thanks for letting me know that - Well, i didn't see that! - that sucks balls but every cloud has a silver lining so it reduces material cost!

Hey woody thanks for the reply :) here are some answers; my concern also is the rafters, all the info i find is regarding supporting substantial loads such as tile or metal roofing - not the plastic sheet although i do fully appreciate loading increases with weather especially snow, although...

Hello All. I had a huge brain fart and during my kitchen update got carried away with wooden panelling and need some remedial works advice on getting an area "Gas Safe" so i can get a Range oven installed. As you can see from the photos, the recessed area was meant for a Gas 110cm range oven...

Hello All Quick Question. I have torn out my old gas fireplace and screwed in the little grub screw in the wall fitting. do i need to cap off the part where the pipe went into the fitting? or in-fact do i need to do anything else apart from just tightening the grub screw? I do not intend to...

Twice as long as from the middle to the end.

Thank you all so much for your replies! - (thanks for the links John) reading your comments and looking online its looking like moving it is going to be the only option really to do a propper job and seams as i am chipping out half the bathroom floor to fit a wetroom tray, might as well go...

Thanks for the reply! And the advice - I will have to take the plunge I think and buy the best toilet for the job I can find and then hash a plan together as I go. Do you (or anyone else) have recommendations on pipe type? Copper or plastic? Thanks again and kind regards
