wow great advice thank you

stunning replies thank you all most appreciated i will post pics of the progression that you all have enabled. Respek.

yes will do thanks for your time

thanks i am making the best of what i have yeh the previous diagram of build up i wrote DPM and blind the wrong way around blind is under DPM Put a concrete surround to the pipes. I think bring it up to concrete level and float it. Later pour the rest of the concrete. This will protect the pipe and also allow the slab to shrink in a controlled way, with nice straight cracks. i will do this if i pour concrete on pipes thanks for your time

noice one i think i feel the same cheers thanks for your time

thanks for the intresting information i have been very fortunate to have been given such a wide varity of responces thanks for your time Later pour the rest of the concrete. This will protect the pipe and also allow the slab to shrink in a controlled way, with nice straight cracks. The pir and carry on. It isn't ideal but will work. By encasing the pipe you are protecting it in a controlled way. wil do thanks

naa not to late never a rush round here yeh i was thinking about the offects of running pipe in insulation because of under floor heating it would be prudent to have say 75mm insulation UFH 75mm screed to finish thanks for time 75mm screed incasing UFH 75mm insulation 150mm concrete 125mm insulation its enough to cover soil pipes DPM blind stone

yeh thanks i stupid make mistake in diagram the sand is under the DPM thanks cheers

yeh thanks that sounds logical cheers

yes thats the plan however i sapose i could lay 125mm of insulation first then another membrane then 150mm concrete then 75mm insulation >UHF>then the screed maybe that would be better ? thanks for your time

just noticed i wrote DPM where blind is apologise this is the other way round cheers

hello yeh im going to change t to y, yes there is a 75 mm fall over the length of 2.8mt this is the end of line for sewer run the rest of run is already built over no option for any greater debth, there will be 20mm of concrete cover at the end of run to 95mm cover of concrete at the lowest end. thanks for your time

hi could you give me your opinions on 110mm waste traveling through 150mm concrete slab, its a garage conversion i have taken floor down allowing for 150mm hardcore 30mm blind DPM 1200 gauge this is where the existing soil pipe bottom level is, i have allowed 200mm for insulation and 70mm screed, and would like your opinions on how to move forward allowing for protection expansion and the possibility of movement due to the clay ground built off. i have checked nhbc & will be changing the toilet access from that T to Y connection, i have been scratching my head for ages on the best interpretation of best practices. thanks for your time

will do

yeh going through corner 203x203x86 12mm top plate x300 wide the wall is solid bricks about 110mm wide with a cavity of about 60mm yes structual engineer however i dont trust him either to many typos in calcalations looks like coppy and paste job any who there is 9 acrows inside of house to hold up floor via joists and what looks marvalous a brick brace for out side thanks for your time

ooo 203x203x86 6 meters long best practice for shawing up existing building im finking about bying a brick brace set nock down wall support steel install padstone does this method sound ok finaly my rsj is grey primerd shall i red oxide them cheers everyboddy your opinions have been invaluable thamks

thank you sir most appreciated

i am working on bond for bricks how ever there is a drop of 17mm from highest point to lowest in foundation my fault i would like to know how deep can the first bed be should i build up with slate selco only has chinese slate would this do or should it be natural thanks for your time

birmingham about 450 quid

yeh my actual issue were to start SE has now said to sit a 203 UC 86 on top of 250x150x16 RHS which is supported by posts 100x100x10 SHS however he has no opinions on how to fix these together

o dear they have us by the never nevers thanks for your replys if we didnt have to adhere to BC then i would apply common scene and get it built its obvious now that there opinion is just that ive seen guys on here do the calculations my SE just said put a beam on top of abeam to get my heights even i know there's implications to that gonna crack on BC have passed his dribble so im gonna say i did what it said on your tin

yes i am feeling that way too i have spent a lot of time measuring up how ever there is in my opinion now an issue with what steel is going to or even possible to fit above doors because all beams are connected would mean they all are about 2100 above finished floor level i think that's to low its only at this stage i noticed incorrect details for position of plate and a size stated at 8mm when its 12mm these professionals have let us down you put a lot of faith in people and set yourself up for a lot of disappointment thanks for your time pocster i am worried that i will have to start again with new so called professionals because i don't think it will get past BC to fit another steel under RHS beam No 4 cheers
