Thank you all, much appreciated. I will talk to the neighbor to see what they are thinking of doing planning wise

It is directly in front of the house (I had to look up principle elevation;) ).

Thank you Bernard, much appreciated I have no issue with the running of a properly licenced business, it is more the building that I am curious about. Can one just build a commercial outbuilding (albeit a temporary structure like a shed) on a driveway without any permission ?

Hi All, looking for general advice on what our neighbors have done with their property. Recently a large(approx 4m x 3m ) shed has been erected on their driveway, we did not realise it at the time but it has now been fitted out as a barber shop. It has running water, electricity, insulation...

Rightiho, professional it is. Thanks everyone......

Hi, we are moving our kitchen layout around and would like to change from a separate gas hob and built in oven to a free standing range oven. The free standing unit would be sited in the same place as the current gas hob. What I do not know is: 1) Will a feed for a gas hob be OK for a gas...

Brilliant, thanks. Got loads of PTFE, will do that.

I know it is probably a very obvious thing, but how does one fit one of these: http://uk.rs-online.com/largeimages/R7006487-01.jpg The male thread will be going into a shower mixer manifold, but how do I get a tight fitting AND get it to point in the correct direction for the pipe to go ? I...

Waiting for the weekend to test, fingers crossed

Thanks Madrab, perhaps one for Dragons Den ;)

Thanks, only costs a couple of £ to try a new pull cord switch, thanks

Hi, I am working on my new bathroom and have the plumbing to plan. At the moment there is a hot and cold feed coming up under where the bath (in 15mm) will be. I need to split the cold four ways (Bath, toilet, shower and sink), and hot for the same except for the toilet. I could do a T...

Hi all. I have a Mira Sport shower that has developed an odd behaviour. When I turn it on at the pull switch the lights will come on then turn off after about 3 seconds. If I manage to time it right I can press the on button on the shower and it will stay on. I have seen other posts where...

Hi. I live in a converted bungalow, there are rooms where the loft was. We now have just a small loft space. We suspect that there is little insulation up there and could do with access to put some pipework. Question is, and I know that unless you see it it is just a guess, would the beams...

What sort of quantities of cement should I include ?

thanks Noseall, believe me it's too cold for me at the moment let alone the materials !!!

Hello, I am shortly going to be doing a repair on a shared driveway that has suffered over the years. The tarmac layer has all but disappeared and now there are multiple deep potholes. To save our cars being destroyed I was thinking of using MOT type 1 compacted with a vibrating plate...

I have not checked yet if it is RCD protected, but what has been said makes total sense, all other sockets in the house are and if I am to make these into general use sockets, including the spur then I should ensure that it is RCD protected. If it is not, then I will get a sparky in to do the...

Thanks for the quick replies, I will carry out those checks before I proceed.

My dining room used to be a kitchen and in one corner is a cooker socket/outlet plate. On the consumer unit it is labelled up as a 30A. Can I take a spur off this for a new double socket ? Even better would be to also change the cooker socket for a normal double if that is possible...
