  1. I lost my Brickies for the foundations on the first day It only took my wife and myself five days Pay them £18 meter
  2. It’s unlikely that it need replacing
  3. Pay on a m2 rate Day rate will cost you a fortune and drag on
  4. So true I would always bring in a company for scaffolding Let them have the liability
  5. Any trades that you use will prefer cash It’s often the only incentive for a one off build Our electrician was being paid £300 for a Saturday or Sunday -40% and extra NA and pension It’s far better doing the work for cash at a lower rate
  6. Yep I felt bad for days 😁
  7. We did the same on our previous build Waited till nightfall Then burned anything that we couldn’t use
  8. If your looking for better Insulated raft is for you If your looking for cheaper You will be disappointed Raft is more expensive Or they would be more commonly used
  9. Looks like it just needs pressing under the skirting No big deal if it’s being replaced
  10. Ha ha I borrowed a tractor and managed to back a ten tone trailer in full of topsoil
  11. You don’t want water draining through They will lift with frost Better to fall towards a drain or border
  12. We’ve installed 5.5 which is plenty
  13. we are about the same as you on the inside We’ve a friend that’s in a wheelchair She can easily navigate over the threshold The ramp on our previous build was made out of four sheets of ply with mineral felt on the top They just need to know that a wheelchair can safely get in and out
  14. I’d board the stud wall with 15 mil ply before plaster boarding Then you should be able to hang an elephant off it
  15. You can add something temporary in order to get signed off and a Matt on the inside As we did on our previous build We’ve around 40 mil of threshold on our DA door BC was fine and more concerned about the lead up to it being ramped With a flat level pice in front of the door
  16. As soon as it’s not your main residence It becomes a development With little in the way of tax breaks and subsidies
  17. Isover is the best 50 mil is plenty
  18. 75 mil or 750 No ones going to come out and measure unless someone complains So crack on
  19. nod

    OUCH

  20. If your over two floor NO If your over three YES
  21. As with all building related quotes Get several Quotes often vary wildly for the same amount of work
  22. It depends on what you mean as before completion
  23. Your better off hiring 2 tone is small for moving soil around
  24. Good advise Put the surplus render on market place
