I am looking to run a deck just under my bifold doors. There are several air bricks which I obviously don't want to cover. If I put a ledger on, how far should the ledger be from the air brick for it still to be effective. I've seen "space it 10mm" which doesn't seem a lot. I've seen people...

DPC needs to remain then - it's the same colour and the bricks due to the dust. Outside of the building and doors are not ours to maintain - it's the councils. They didn't even put security hinges on. We've told them it's too far forward, but their response is to fit a small bit of internal...

door frame already in place, but the threshold is bare brick (and DPC). I have a picture when we blocked up the old drain (was originally in use in 1980s, drainage survey shows it being disused so it's been capped)

Ah, it's the damp proof course, sorry. I've not got any pictures (was there plastering yesterday till late) and won't be back there until after my holiday in a week or so's time.

Hi, we're doing up an old cricket pavilion. Contractor employed by the council has removed a doorway sized chunk from the wall and installed a lintel, but has taken the wall down to the DPM which is currently across the threashold. I'm assuming there's no issue cutting the DPM away so we have...

Yes with a fan hot water radiator. It'll only be on when I'm actually in there though.

I have a garage with a fairly tall single skin standard brick wall on two external faces. A third shorter external face is single skin blockwork with a render. I'm looking to batten the wall with 2x2 and fill the voids with 50mm foil lined thermal sheets. After that I'll plasterboard the...

It's paid for by the government - I did have to pay an additional £99 for the upgrade from 16A charger to 32A. Regardless I'm competent enough to swap MCBs on my own, but I'd really rather have the people contracted to do the work finish it off and certify it. The whole house is being...

No EIC as far as I remember... I believe it was supposed to be passed over by the office via email this week. Not had anything as yet though.

correct!

Perhaps I didn't explain well. 13a lead is for 13a only. It's for charging from places that don't have a fast charger. I'm using it because I do not want to use the 32A on a 20A MCB. I have a 2nd 32A lead connected to a 32A charger. It has a separate consumer unit directly connected into...

I've had a 32A charger installed under government funding for a 6.6kw electric car. My understanding is that the Nissan Leaf will pull around 27.5A. I'd want about 20-30% overhead on that to be safe, so a 40A MCB is required. On the day of install, they only had 20A MCBs so they fitted that...
