looks to me like the whole lot needs stripping out and rebuilding. would get a reputable builder who knows a good joiner and between them complete the task. my guess it would have to be done on a 48 hr building notice as this looks structural.

I also think that the roof would not comply to habitable building control standards.

I am in the process of turning my detached garage into a granny annex , firstly I had to have planning permission for a change of use. it will have a stipulation that only immediate family can live there. also you will have to use the services from the main dwelling. then there are the current...

was there an initial scratch coat put onto the blocks, with a waterproofing agent added to the mix?. looks like they have top coated in 1 hit monocouche render. this can be sealed with a clear waterproofer, or maybe some drainage holes drilled at the bottom of retaining planters, as I assume...

currently doing this at the moment, you have to apply to planning for a change of use, eg granny annex. there will need to be a stipulation on this that only a close member of family can live there. no council tax charges will apply if services are being provided from the main residence. as with...

Try 2 scrapers ,slide them between bezel and ceiling and lever the light down, these ar locked in place via springs connects to the frame of fitting. Once you create a gap to get your fingers in, gently work the light down by rocking , you will then expose springs which you can then pinch in...

Any floor tile will be fine, as long as its bedded down well.

screw all floorboards down , so that floor is solid, then lay ditra matting/ Durabase over floorboards with flexible tile adhesive. Then tile straight onto that. You will have no step at door thresh hold and a proper job.

No , prv ok bag over it ,no water. condense not permantley dripping, heat exchanger ok. I'm now topping up at 7 am in the morning, holding pressure all day, checking at 10 pm and still 1.5 bar. but when I wake up 6am. All pressure gone form boiler, showing 0.5 at lock out. when I top up the...

you are going to be putting more of a load onto the ceiling joists which are only designed to hold your ceiling up. in reality the more you store in aloft and the more you walk about especially in the centre of ceilings, you are risking cracking, plasterboard nails popping, and general damage...

All instructions with trays ask for it to be bedded on mortar. But find that it shrinks and the tray is just left floating and not fixed. agree with the above reply, drywall adhesive or rapid does a better job

Hello have a valiant ecotec 35 Combi, started to lose slight pressure on a daily basis approx 0.2 bar. had a look around and found some crustation around expansion vessel, only 2 yrs old so phoned valiant and engineer said it was no good and this was probably the problem. since it was replaced...

I can cope with that, many thanks for your input and help. much appreciated.

in fairness I prob just assumed, it would cope easily

I agree with the graph, and true that the rise is at the end of run. I can change pipework in ground if necessary, but only the same way I have done it in the 40mm. shame that the garden runs down to the garage and has to do that final 300mm lift uphill. I can not think of a solution that would...

Can’t really change the 300 mm rise at the end of the section as this is the point of lift via 2 x 45’s to get me into new manhole. Set up from macerator is from top elbow through wall, down to ground 300 mm, 25 mtr and final lift to drain. To be fair it seems to push very well when pump kicks...

Thanks , but I couldn’t think of another way of getting waste away. I can live with the fact that units lifespan will be less as long as it works ok. Looked around before this set up was decided. Even run it past building inspector, who was out on one of my jobs, he thought it would be ok as...

Hello doing a garage conversion to granny annex, soil approx 30 mtrs away, installed new manhole and connected 4 inch pipe to existing drain, for rodding and inspection. have buried 40 mm solvent under ground. Basically from macerator, direct 300 mm drop, level for 25 mtrs, then 45 degree...
