  1. Lol another here. Buy the flashing you tight git. They're not supplied as you buy different ones for different roof coverings.
  2. Think he's more worried about binding. Loosen screws off and set him he bit further back plug holes if needed
  3. He might ease and adjust each door for you. It wouldn't take too long to sort that.
  4. Never paid for beadwork by the metre. Roofer always does it under his day rate. How big is it any photos
  5. Oz07

    Floor Saws

    Your breaker just needs to be more powerful. Can you not just use a normal sthil saw much cheaper to hire
  6. 110mm drainage pipe is fine.
  7. I'm not that far from you. Leics
  8. Single storey always gets an uplift on equivilant house, I reckon 20%. My last place got 300 per sq ft, bungalow. I think markets moved on at least 10% since last August. Have you been living in a cupboard @Ferdinand it is a mini boom atm.
  9. Maybe someone else would like to chip in but 20mm is probably okay. Google search for "maximum thickness sand blinding layer"
  10. On most drawings you get told to use a sand blinding layer, not sure anyone ever really goes as thick as 20mm though. Maybe a couple of bags of cement raked into it if you were overly worried?
  11. homesearch.co.uk isn't a bad tool for research. I'm a bit dubious of these free websites though. What info are they selling to the agents? I do also wonder if agents have access to your list of saved properties on rightmove app if you make enquiry?
  12. probably fine, maybe erring on a bit to thick. Split the difference?
  13. That website is out by probably 100% in my area atm. What are others seeing?
  14. No problem with doing as you say. Be a bit fiddly and you need your fascia to be thick enough to get a fixing ontop. Also clear path as Mr punter says. My place has treated timber sub fascia with over fascia vents on these. The capping fascia slightly blocks the airflow but it's a full hipped roof with ridge vents so like a cyclone in the loft.
  15. This is like a heavyweight battle. The Welsh Dragon has his belts on the line but the up and comer is giving as good as he gets. It would help if I understood any of what is being said!
  16. They were good 10 years ago when they had transparent pricing and quoted you a mini mix rate per cube and an over 4m3 rate per cube. They've all gotten greedy now and want to quote you based on exact amount. You struggle to nail down what your paying per m3 if you're not sure how much your having which kind of defeats the object in a way.
  17. I'd be getting them to re fit for free if so based on them manufacturing too big out of tolerance. Eat some humble pie and buy your builder a crate of beer to grind off all the mortar or whatever he built it up with
  18. Will your threshold still be level with floor finish if you remove all (or most) of packing underneath them?
  19. There is a certain volumetric outfit near me that always tick the added water on site box even if you dont. I sussed them on the last job and told them I wasn't signing. Its just so if ever there is a quality issue down the line they don't cop the blame. Arse covering.
  20. My god what an interesting tale. Builder will love recounting that down the pub. Be interesting to see what tolerance your 11k door company work to. I can appreciate a brickie getting an 8ft opening quarter of an inch too high, especially if rsj out of level. For a door company to survey after aperture is built, tell you the hole is wrong size then still make door 4mm too big I think it's their problem! Bet they wouldn't want to replace £££
  21. Has anyone here just comsidered a boiling water tap and doing away with dhw to kitchen
  22. Lol-sorry couldnt help my self
  23. Never got that far into it. Fair play for being so detailed. Most just spec a maximum deflection.
  24. Minimix not man enough for u mate
  25. spoil from the nearest spoil heap. I think it depends how wet your ground is likely to be. @nod concreted and put drains in his but never seen it done around my area
