Hello. I hope all is well. We are stripping paint and prepping door frames before painting. Any advice on what the best way to remove door stops is? I have tried a crowbar and hammer - it worked but is very noisy and I am afraid it could damage the door frame. PS. Please let me know if I should start another thread on this.

Thanks.

Thanks - is that including materials?

UFH pipes? If so, were they under/in screed already?

Hello. I hope all is well. We need to have the following done: pipes brought up from under the floor board, for two bathroom sinks pipes brought up from under the floor board, for a shower pipes brought up from under the floor board, for towel radiator connect concealed shower valves to pipes connect valves for bathroom sinks waste pipes for the sinks, toilet and shower connected to external soil stack install and connect frame for wall hung toilet connect soil stack Any ideas on how much this should cost? We will also need to dig and connect the new soil stack to the existing drainage.

Hello all. I hope all is well. Update: insulation/PIR is in the floor. We were let down by the UFH guys we'd booked. So had to find a more reliable company, who will be coming in on Monday. Frustrating as we'd wanted this in by now to protect the PIR, but alas, we are where we are. Screeding should happen the day after pipes are laid (or very close to it), I am told by the builders, and then that is the floor done!!

Thank you. Yes, BC have confirmed this. I will google search "list of statutory inspections" and see what I can find.

Thank you. You are right. They said they need to see it after dpm and before concrete. So they will be visiting tomorrow. Hadn't thought about the photos for this purpose. However, luckily, I do have loads of photos as I am documenting the process for our own memories. 😊

Ah - I see. Thank you.

Hello. Would you happen to know when building control need to come in for an inspection. Is it after the concrete has been laid, but before insulation? Or after DPM, but before concrete?

Hello. Quick update - second SE has come back and we are good to go!! Thanks for all your advice & guidance so far. It is very much appreciated.

I suppose. 🥴

Yes. That is true. Let's see what the second SE says. Second SE has gathered a lot of additional information on the property, so whatever the outcome, we will be more comfortable with the decision. First only asked about foundation depth.

Tell me about it! We did a basic cost benefit analysis......before this spanner in the works 😩 Waiting to hear back from another structural engineer. 🤞

Building control have come back to say the 500mm dig is fine. I am reaching out for a second opinion. So much fun!
