Yes this would of been a good idea but this has not been done

Hi As the title would like my stone slips to go to the ground. This would mean breaching the DPC which is not advisable but is there a safe way to do it. Thanks

Also have considered this

Sorry yes dining and at the fire setting

Hi Struggling with kitchen layout and what to do. Attached is what we have done so far and not sure it works or not. I also can not get the kitchen to centre to the bifold doors but not sure it matters or not. Will it look ok if the kitchen / island is not centred to the doors? In the kitchen plan we are going to make the island shorter so it does not go past the end of the wall run Do you think this works or should I do something else

Hi, it is going on top of insulation bellow the pipes. Pipes get laid Monday

Hi I got this membrane https://www.toolstation.com/green-vapour-barrier-125mu/p86538 Thanks

Yes i have all the gaps filled with foam and joints taped will be laying DPM at weekend over the top thanks

Getting UFH installed and then screed poured next week. Does it matter if there is small movement up and down between insulation boards 2 to 3mm. I have been going round putting blocks on them and foaming them together to stop it. The insulation is tight fitted but still some board still moving when you walk on them close to the joins Is it a concern or will the UFH pipes tighten it up and screed weigh it down? Thanks

There will be slab up to the door when finished running away from the door. Have used some CT1 to see if that seals it up for now until slab is laid and drain put in

Hi My doors are leaking between the Dpc and the insulation they are sitting on. They are always wet so can not get tape to stick as it is never dry this time of year. Can any one recommend how to seal

We have very large bi-folds from them. It was not explained to us that if you want to open them you have to clip the opening door back before opening due to the weight so if someone does not know this then they can get damaged. We we did have a door blow out but I think this was due to the door not being closed properly and the other end of the house being open and creating a wind tunnel. This has never happened before and only one door did this but has caused a trust issue with them. slider we have, french door and the winds have no issue with them and good quality product with smooth operation

Hi I did go ahead with them and got a 15% discount from them of the price. The sales process was OK but the person they sent out could not measure so I did this myself. After sales are shocking but not really needed them except I am meant to have suited locks and 3 door are not suited and I have not followed up with the after a year. the doors are made by Schuco

Hi I am in East Ayrshire Scotland

Hi Can anyone recommend a water treatment company that can design and supply a water treatment filtration system for my private water supply. I have had the water tested and have the issues with metals in the water which will need to be removed before the UV filter will work effectively. Also need the water softned and particle filter Thanks

Is there enough movement in the PIR insulation as it has a good compression strength. I have one room that is 12.5 x 5.5 m I would of thought it needs more movement that the PIR will give

Hi, I am currently fitting my insulation for my underfloor heating and have done the following Laid 1200 gauge DPM on concrete slab Installed 25mm PIR insulation as and upstand from the concert slab to top of screed Laid 2 layers of insulation with joints staggered My question is what do I do next 1 Install expansion edge strip for the screed Lay 500 gauge DPM do not take it up the walls Tape DPM to apron of edge strip 2 Lay 500 gauge DPM take up walls and tape to Wall Vapour control layer Install expansion edge strip for the screed Tape DPM to apron of edge strip

Great as we are getting about 400mm but at door ways far lower

Hi laying my floor insulation and was wonder how much stagger I need in the joints for the second layer. finding it hard going down hall and into rooms to get a good stagger on them and can not find guidance on what the minimum is. thanks

Ah ok I thought the top was just metal you are using the metal to support the mortar

you have a chimney pot on the metal plate? If so how is the pot secured to the metal?

How did you fix the cowl to the liner and plate?

Hi I have had a brick work put up for a chimney for my woodburner which I am going to put in a twin wall flue liner. The issue I have is how do I cap the top and put a chimney pot on it. The issue I have is the whole at the top is 600mm x 400mm and I will be fitting a pot with 150mm diameter so there is nothing for the pot to site on. Will I need to cast a cap on the ground and raise it up and cement it on? or is there another way to do it? Thanks

The bottom half will be stone slips that will be glued on and the top will be render. Would it be worth putting on a liquid seal for additional protection?

Sorry they showed in preview have uploaded them again
