No they where the old large panel saws Whit the timber handles Looking back I reckon they would have been around 20 quid to buy

Half of those would be same as now I used to take my panel saws to Berry’s at Leyland to get them sharpened £2 each Now they will sell you two says for £8 I can still remember rendering a gable using sky hooks Brick Knocked out for each one Then hooked into the cavity patched in as you moved down A couple of planks standing between you and serious inquires Hardly any site HSE back then

You would need to check yourself with HMRC I’ve been renovating a factory for the past year half is 20% The other half is 5 % Ive been in business for 35 years now and still get caught out

No it will be fine don’t use PVA with tiles SBR is more reliable

We are very airtight Doors and windows are open all the time Even in winter It would be nice to have a means of cooling the house

Yes When using matting always do the levelling before the matting goes down

You can use tile adhesive But let it set before you put your 5 mil adhesive down for your Ditra Ardex for the ply

Looks really smart

Thanks While we decided against for our build The next one has no access to gas I didn’t fancy going down the route of oil filled So it seems a no brainier But we do like the UFH 158m2 ground floor Even with gas it’s remarkably cheap to run

Do you guys with MVRH have UFH Or is there no need

Quite rare to see pipes chased in onsite nowadays Even gas pipes are on the surface and saved over They say it weakens the block work When we used to wet plaster or use projection Everything was chased in

If your using a solid construction You can run the wiring on the surface following safe zones on the surface of the block or brick The pipe work can also be run on the surface If you are using dot and dab as a posed to wet plaster the gas pipe needs to be fully covered with drywall adhesive To prevent any gas leaking behind the boards

Yeah gyp no obtuse

Anyone concerned with cracking around pb beads I’ve been asked to supply these to a site that has had issues with cracking Just dampen the backs and stick in place

Quite common to see a toilet system installed in a stud I installed three of our four within the stud

I think they are all much of a muchness We used Protec as it was easy to add an extra three months or so at a later date We had a couple of good quotes but they where vague about extending part year

BC tend to be more keen on the correct gap between spindles Our Architect has made a blunder The stair manufacturers picked it up and asked me to recheck my measure against the Architects drawing They removed a step BC didn’t seem to mind

Could I just add that my friend with the joinery shop who makes marvellous Gates frames etc Has redone his facias and soffits in wood grain He just said they don’t look much different than timber painted grey When I last visited him he was making some elaborate oak gates and a carport Gates will end up over 20 k Carport over 60 k I commented that they will last forever He said the gates May still twist But these people will just order a new set

To be fair unless you are single story It would be difficult to tell timber and grained UPVC apart Heritage where against using UPVC but agreed that they couldn’t tell the difference from 5 to 7 mtrs below I’ve done the up the ladder each year thing and didn’t fancy doing it again I used oak on the porch and Idigbo on the gates Planners where happy with this Next door used hardwood on all there sash windows and doors Also there Orangery roof Ten years on all need replacing

We are under conservation Our planning said timber sag windows Timber facias and soffits We changed for the same reason as you GAP plastics have a good range of grained pvc that looks like wood

Yeah that’s fine It was a fiver a roll when it first appeared back in 1990

Yes It won’t stick to the cut edge Add a few staples

When you staple the stop Put a line of tape under the stop B Covering the cut edge of the board If you need to square anything Unscrew the board edge and pack off Don’t pack the beads

Yes I nipped in the electricians and plumbers store While there is second fix gear There’s hardly any first fix Will have to see if it miraculously fills up over the weekend
