Ah yea, got you. So essentially they should be able to be used on any towel rail so I can simply use those fixings in the same place (plus some at the top) on a larger towel rail?

Where did I say it was easy for a layman? For a pro it is a very easy job. And that isn’t me saying that, all 3 people I had to quote said it’s an easy job.

Tools and ladders all already on the van, picking up materials takes 10 mins. £500 for say 3 hours? Around £150 an hour excluding materials, seriously?

Similar to this https://www.screwfix.com/p/felt-support-tray-5-pack/36622?tc=PB4&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIpKHIsY6TggMVaI1QBh3EdQE4EAQYASABEgLO7_D_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds Guttering is a tad lower than the roof tiles on one side of the back of the house, nothing major but enough to create a gap which results in leakage during rainfall. I’d estimate it’s 2-3m worth needed. Just getting some quotes and wondering what you think is reasonable. I’m in the south west, would assume it’s a 2 hour job and £30-40 of materials so much more than £150 feels high? However I appreciate it’s a small job so will feel more expensive on an hourly basis.

Current one is leaking and is only a half size one so not bothered about fixing as bed a bigger one anyway, however am really struggling to find a large one which will have the same fixings as the current one as don’t want to be left with exposed holes in the tiles that have been filled. Any ideas?

Thanks. What would you do as first steps to diagnose?

There used to be a concrete patio outside that door, higher than it is now. It is now hardcore decorative stone, at a lower level with better drainage so I’d be surprised if it is that but it certainly looks like it.

Just noticed this by our back patio doors, seems to have come on quite quickly. Looks a bit odd as it is only in that area of the floor. As it happens it’s the area of the floor we had to take up to replace rotting joints last year, so it’s clearly connected. Seems odd that it would have become damp enough to rot in that time though.

Nothing to do with the graft, it’s just (expletive deleted)ing time consuming and tedious. I enjoy the workout element!

Well I’m almost there. Jesus Christ levelling is an utterly tortuous task!

Yeah I’ve done much more in the past - shifted 35 tonnes of soil in lockdown to prep the patio area!

Ha they won’t sling it over the edge, site in the garden is 150ft from the road!!

Ah I may have underestimated how much I need.

Thanks how about this? https://www.googleadservices.com/pagead/aclk?sa=L&ai=DChcSEwjuxpbs1bX_AhUIvO0KHWO6BXQYABAQGgJkZw&ohost=www.google.co.uk&cid=CAASJORoAgePyIpK4smjtboLU7KnOibc7taIDOHTXiPDtIE_zpkdaA&sig=AOD64_1YxW2ZDB9HvC_NCtDdy2d5lqcRSA&ctype=46&q=&ved=2ahUKEwip-ZDs1bX_AhVHRkEAHUCsDT0QzzkoAHoECAQQFg&nis=8&adurl=

How long should it take to compact with a 320mm wacker plate? Worth going for a 400mm one?

How would it lift and go everywhere if it’s underneath the shed and base?

Ok, so I’m a novice therefore feel free to add anything I’ve missed. dig to 100mm (60mm hardcore, 40mm grids) add membrane add and rake hardcore, compress to level lay and lock plastic grids. Fill with pea gravel. shed base in place and fixed to concreted brackets reconstruct shed Recycled type 1 adequate for the sub base?

Damn, more digging!

This aggregate should do me right? https://www.avonmaterialsupplies.co.uk/AMS/product/type-1-recycled-delivered-in-bulk-bags/

Why does it need to be uv resistant?

Just ok? Or is hard to tell on screen? No idea which one to go for. fair enough, as it happens the base is currently bolted down (brackets concreted in each corner and fixed to base) so thinking about it I can just use that as the base is going to be at the same level as now.

What do you think to the one I posted from amazon? Do you think it’ll be necessary to fix the shed base down as well? Will the weight of the shed screwed to the base not be sufficient?

How much overhang would you suggest? The site is 2400x2400mm so having 5 grids of 500mm across so that would only give 50mm overhang each side. Worth going with 6 grids across to make it 3000mm total, 300mm overhang each side?
