It's actually not cheaper, and NCD is often not as much as you think - it certainly wont be as much as the cost of that job

I just suggested that to Mrs W, but she was more concerned about the gas bill. :cautious:

Heating or water pipes tend not to be randomly placed in floor screed. You can normally see where the heating pipes are going from the radiators and work out where the water pipes are going by the locations of the taps. They typically go above ceilings.

It's storm damage. Aren't you insured? BTW, you have a duty to ensure that anyone you employ works in a safe manner. If they have an accident, then you could be liable

That's a non-standard lintel then. If not an angle section bolted to a frame, then a fabricated beam with an angle or plate for the external leaf. You can't rely on details at the council of what is supposed to be, so will need to remove blocks to investigate

Best not to use a bitumen based product, rather an acrylic polymer resin product such as Acrylpol, or a polyester resin same as the GRP.

There are no regulations. Just the common law right of support you mention, and sometimes a covenant in the property deeds.

Is it a timber frame?

That steel looks a bit thick for a lintel, so may be a steel with a welded angle. I suspect your answer to the lintel and the water penetration will need those blocks at the bearing to be removed to see what's going on. That work should have required building regulation approval.

That lintel does not appear to have a bearing on the external leaf, and if so, yes water can run down the opening reveals.

Or .... it is a potential Turkish barbers, Vietnamese nail bar and American candy shop. Money tree

You are overthinking. But if you are really concerned about noise, then trickle vents in isolation are not the only factor you should be considering.

I would question whether any such garden furniture is actually financially valuable. Welding cast is very specialised and difficult and prone to failure - especially at such high stress locations. Consider mechanical repairs instead, and careful design - not just a plate and a couple of...

The top, the hip, and looks like part of the eaves have past life end. They want replacing not refreshing.

He's back!

I bought a cheap two gun set "Preciva" from amazon a few years ago expecting then not to last long based on other more expensive ones i had previously, and I've not had to use the second gun yet. The first has lasted even with a can siting on it unused for months.

No one is going to get mesothelioma and die from removing undercloak from their verge at home.

Asbestos cement board has the least hazardous type of fibre and it's very well bound within the board. This is outside, and so any bit of fibre that might be released, is just going to float away. So the actual risk is low. And only from broken edges or where the mortar is prized away if it...

Looks like conversations on the Jubilee Line

You're not overcladding the barge board then? If you remove the barge board, the undercloak will fall off. Asbestos undercloak is fibre cement and would not be notifiable, however CAR 2012 is a workplace regulation and does not apply to DIY. So if removing, your only concern is transport and...
