Yes, YOUR my wife now.

The man speaks in tongues. Was it not yourself that said, "FFS Grow up.", if that isn't blunt, I don't know what is. It is ok for you then? I guess it is as no doubt you own this forum.

More nonsense! You are advocating the wrong and undermining the right. King Canute tried to denfend the undefendable in trying to stop the tide coming in. Are you, Softus, King Canute ? .....Anyone (other than Softus) up for a poll-tax riot?

HIPS or Home Information Packs actually came into effect toady so I believe. aparantley the are being justified under the green banner and it is said that sellers will be punished for having their homes being engery inefficient and that they are likely to get knocked on the price. It is also...

Despite all the names, I came to the conclusion that Firestone make the stuff for whoever.. I wasn't aware of another manurfacturer of the stuff. Have you ever used EPDM before? It is fantastic stuff. I have experience at work with all sorts of roofing systems and must say the single ply...

I've recently had my extension roof done in epdm, fantastic system and in one piece. If you do a google search there are a few suppliers online. I used a company from High Wycombe who supplied and fitted for a very reasonable price. Am I allowed to post up there name? If not PM me for who...

Many thanks for taking the time for such a detailed reply. The existing pipe from what I can gather is steel. As I would be replacing the service on my side of the 'tap' I wouldn't think I'd qualify for anything free ? I've tried to re-search South East Waters bylaws online but they don't...

Hope you can advise me? I need to run a new supply pipe from the stop-cock in my front garden into my house to replace the existing one which came up in a now removed cupboard. I've had a search online and can only find limited information, my questions are; 1, Works are notifiable if pipe...

Sounds like the thermostat is stuck shut.

Dear Dingbat, You do indeed live in a bubble. For every installation you do, is done, within the regs I'd guess that there are 50 that are not. Of course I cannot support that claim but I am in a far better postion and have more clarity over this situation than yourself sitting within your...

No, I think you are missing the point. With safety being what propogated Part P, why not actually have some useful information and guidance in it? At present there is none and as a result it is probably having the reverse effect to that intended. In esscence all part P says is "If you need...

Totally agree, my windows were about 50 years old and in a right state before I attacked them and the galv could have been considered weathered. As for hammerite, 'orrible stuff, drips and sags very easily and what is it with the price of the thinners !

And wouldn't that look lovely.

Probably not but most householders wouldn't contemplate such work. For those that do, the information should be easily accessable so informed decisions can be made. The differece is Part P has very little information specifically relating to the work in hand, it simply refers you to the BS...

I totally disagree that there are of any use except of course if you are a registered electrician in which case they are a cash cow! The fact is, you will never stop DIY happening and with Part P and the expense involved for simple alterations DIY is being driven underground. Would I...

When I did my crittals about 7 years ago, I stripped them back to metal and applied two coats of gloss straight on. There were perfectly fine up untill a year ago when I had them ripped out and replaced with upvc. There were only one or two areas that were problematical in terms of the...
