Condensation on inside of external brickwork inside cavity
markc replied to ashthekid's topic in Damp & DPCs
Ventilation is always good, ideally don’t build your inner walls and insulation etc while the brickwork is wet through, but once your inner skins are up there will be little to no moist air hitting the bricks and the space will be much warmer anyway. -

Elects? Presume that’s elements in which case the wall will be cold and condensation is to be expected -
Your look fine, the tile fixings should be the weak link to prevent the whole roof coming off in one lump if wind did get under it. what happened to the felt? Has it been pulled out or never had any?

Help me ter fix this please.....

+1. maybe use a thin metal strap folded into a hinge and screwed to inside, it’s a bodge but no worse than the boxes themselves -
Thanks for this, I kept looking at the post and thinking something must be wrong because it shouldn't be that difficult, completely missed the hydrated/hydraulic ?

Why would a GRP roof have an ugly raw edge? As you are keeping the gutter to the rear, a nice fascia is the way to go

Basic surveying shouldn’t cost much at all. You don’t need fancy instruments. for your project a water level or basic laser is more than accurate enough. and yes a layperson can do it.…. What is a lay person anyway?
-
You shouldn’t shim but it often happens. If these are not ground floor then packing puts the tops level but makes boarding the underside a real P.I.T.A.

“Bounce squared” now there’s an equation I’m not familiar with ?, has a nice ring to it tho. -
Best Underlay for laminate on a garage floor
markc replied to JKami84's topic in Garage & Cellar Conversions
As it’s in a garage and intended as a utility I would probably go with Vinyl planks -
+1 to the above. trying to fit corrugated around Velux or other box protrusions is very difficult aesthetically and mechanically. fit the protrusion to suit the corrugated sheets as half corrugations are a pain to seal and never look right.

Haha, can’t knock a bit of galvanic action

"Luxury" bath/showeroom planning
markc replied to markharro's topic in Bathrooms, Ensuites & Wetrooms
Spa tub look amazing in adverts and sounds wonderful, in reality they are rarely used and are a pain to clean and keep clean … water hangs around in the pipes and jets and they need regular cleaning and disinfecting -
No problem, council tax should really have read rateable value, nothing to worry about as a tenant.
-
Council tax! Our business premises are measured approx every 5 years. Quite common with blocks of flats and they often use a typical flat for the measure instead of doing them all

As above, if you already have a backhoe (assuming it’s 3cx or similar size) then a breaker for that will be ok. Pecker is easy to use but knock he’ll out of the machine , 3cx we’re known for shattering glass or it falling out while pecking. granite shatters so pecker away from yourself and have some boards propped up to catch most of the flying debris

Get a 13 to 20 ton excavator in with a pecker and save yourself a lot of work. Have it done in a couple of days
