My neighbour has had his roof retiled, this required a bonding gutter to be fitted. On my side of the bonding gutter the roofer used expanded foam to fix the tiles to the gutter, no mortar was used in the centre of the bonding gutter to support the tiles, My believe this is in breach of the building regulations. Could one of your trades people help by informing me if this is against the building regulations. as expanded foam is highly inflammable it may also breach the regulations under the fire break section. Best Regards Mal smith
This wasn't a cheap unit, so I'd like to get it looked at before thinking of a replacement. Would I call an electrician for this?
I want to completely remove an old electric bar heater from my bathroom wall for tiling and don't want to reconnect anything, is it safe to cut the wires, tape them and then push them back through the wall?
Recently I have purchased a new plaster ceiling rose (approx. 90cm in diameter) and I will be having a room re-plastered and decorated in the coming weeks. The decorator I have hired has not had much experience with installing ceiling roses and certainly not one as large/heavy as this one. If anyone has any experience with this, could they please recommend the best options to install it safely and successfully. Many Thanks, P
We have a fitted kitchen with standard height worktop. We need to replace a dishwasher from a Fisher Paykell dish drawer type to a Miele integrated one. So we need to get a new front door piece for the integrated machine. We have had difficulty sourcing a door from the kitchen supplier so were looking at a Miele stainless steel one 60cm wide X 72cm but our kitchen doors are 77cm. To me this looks as if the dishwasher front will look strange as the lower edge of it will sit higher than the lower edge of the doors. Is there a way round this?
How much to core a standard 4" extractor fan hole through brickwork in a bathroom please? No other install needed. Just the hole cored.
I am having my roof done and we are an end terrace, therefore connected to another terrace house. My roofer has taken the mortar that was connecting the two roofs off to fix our problem and has found problems with weatherproofing with next doors roof. Should he have informed next door first of any potential problems before starting the work?
I have a nearly square area of 5 x 5 metres right up to the boundary fences, which I am thinking of building living space, for use as office space and/or temporary living accommodation. I liken it to a studio apartment with kitchen, bathing, living, sleeping areas. What would be the best way to start exploring this project. Would I need planning, architectural services? Any advice would be appreciated at this stage.
I am looking at buying a property that would need to be taken back to the shell and made good. Hasn't been touched in thirty years. Rewiring the whole place, possible plumbing updates, does have central heating, knocking one wall down between kitchen and dining room. It is a two storey three bedroom semi detached house. Size is approx one hundred and twelve square metres. If I am looking for a medium finish how much would it cost? And how long would it take?
I am about to take delivery of an EV. I'm likely to be moving by the end of the year so spending circa £1k on a domestic charger will not deliver a return on the mileage I am likely to do. The car comes with its own "mobile charger" which is 7.4kw capable. I have a modern consumer unit with Schneider Isobar Acti9 125A. There is a first generation Rolec EV EVWP0020 charger already connected to the CU via a 32A breaker. I have a SMETS2 smart meter and they are all adjacent on the inside of the garage wall by the garage door where the car will be parked. What additional components (surge protection/breakers) might I need to install a 32A rated (blue) commando socket? What would be a reasonable estimate for this job?
