Hi, I didn't want to start a new thread and came across this one which is almost identical to my problem. I do indeed have a Benchmark test sheet and gas safety cert from the engineer that fitted the boiler however they have not registered the installation for my BRCC I have asked them to do it...

Hello I am in the process of replacing my fire and firelplace in my new home (well new to me), I had a corgi registered guy come round to put the first part of the piping for the new fire to allow us to fit the fire place. He gave me the bad news that there is a back boiler behind the...

Thanks Jasonb That explained a lot and makes sense. I obviously don't have as much expierience as you guys and need to ask, I try reading the boards before posting bt couldn't find any info on whether I could use the sand and cement, in respect of the PVA i wasn't looking for info on it so...

Thanks John, your a legend. The downlighters have heat resistant sleaving already on them and I like the sound of the terracotta pots from a safety point of view. Thanks again mate Jon

I am not trying to do this on the cheap but...... I am laying ceramic tiles onto a concrete floor as part of a renovation of an old out house, I have PVA'd the floor and layed so many with floor tile adhesive which I have run out of and wondered - I have this bag of cement that I opened...

Thanks John I will sort that this wekend. What should I do regarding the fire risk from the insulation, is there a safe reccomended distance away from the lights? Thanks Jon

Thanks John Yes the room is uninhabbited for now because we havent moved in yet but there will be washer, dryer fridge, freezer as well as a seperate toilet at the end. I have put a false ceiling in there because we are putting mains fed downlights in, didn't put any insulation in due to...

Would I still need the party wall award using the spreader plates? Also is it a legal requirement or is it just a good will thing? Sorry to be a pain, I obviously want to do it right but with the minimum level of disruption to both the neighbours and us. Thanks for the advice it's been a...

Thats right, it's to support the roof, we'll be removing the central wall with a door way and the a small section of the wall nearest the house to open it up to the new back door which goes into the passgae. It will be an RSJ that we'll be using to support it not a concrete lintel, sorry...

This is very rough but I hope it helps. If you click on the link and then the thumbnail halfway down it should show you the pic, you may need to close an ad that half covers it though, it was the quickest upload I could find...

No, it's just something we were looking to do off our own backs with people who know a bit more than us. Although I am obviously trying to do as much research as I can before we do anything. The room is about 12ft long by 5ft wide and the wall we are looking to remove is single brick wall...

Hello My wife and I have just bought an ex council property, my question is this. We are looking to knock complete a utility that the previous owners started out of the former outhouse at the back of the house. They have knocked the two dividing walls out to make one large room placing...

Hello, I have been trying to find the answer to this without creating a new topic but all the advice on here seems to be for slightly different situations. We have just completed on a new house which has a utility room at the back of the house, the utility has a toilet which we would like...
