Hi Had building control out to do to sign off my house and one of the things he asked for was the steel performance certificate. The issue is I do not have this and the company that supplied the steel do not have the records now as it has been over 5 years since the kit builder purchased it. The company that purchased it have now went into liquidation and disappeared. I have spoken to building control and they are not sure of a way around the issue, also have mailed my architect and they are not sure either. Has anyone come across something like this and how to rectify the problem. thanks for any help

Hi I have a timber frame house, some of it is block with render and stone cladding and some is timber frame and wood cladding. I am struggling to find building insurance that allows this. Can anyone with a build like this advise who they have insurance with.

Hi Can anyone advise what thickness of glass is needed for an external Glass Balcony Balustrade in Scotland also the tube dimensions. I am going to order the attached but just wanted to make sure it met building control standards before I do. thanks Pre-Assembled Post_Glass Clamp_Linear_Tech LC-140262.pdf

Hi part of my build has stone cladding onto block work and render above. The stone cladding has been badly fitted and I am thinking about putting timber cladding over it. My plan is to cut channels out of the stone cladding to fix wood battens to the wall and then fix the wood cladding to them with no cavity. not 100% sure if the building inspector would find this acceptable and also it would cover up the weep vents for the timber kit. Or is it best to finish the stone cladding and after sign off decide how to fix the issue? Is there any other option I could do other than chipping it off?

Hi I have 2 balconys that need Balustrades and been looking online but do not want to spend a fortune as the budget is now stretched and this is the last thing that needs to be done. Can anyone recommend a company or options. I have put it in glazing but does not need to be glass Thanks

it is a waste for water filtration when it does its regeneration

Hi Looking for a spigot to connect waste pipe to standard garden host. I saw the attached photo and not sure if this is a special T and a certain spigot used or just washing machine fitting

go above it to throw the water away from the wall and from seeping behind the cladding (like a flashing),

Hi I am looking for something to go onto of stone cladding before rendered above so it looks good and the rain water comes off. thanks
