  1. Help , what can I do? This is 4.5cm high so not 1.5 or under. Builder told me I could use a metal ramp but now I found out that won't fly with building control.
  2. Thank you, appreciate the comments. The lady concerned did ask the guys doing it to double the width after it started because she felt they looked too small. Yes a handrail is going up on one side, not sure about the other. I just thought the pavers looked rather wonky. It will give her access to the upper part of her garden. It was a verbally agreed.
  3. thanks, the lady is a senior and a widow, I thought they were awful but I am worried for her.
  4. Not mine but these are being installed in a family member's home...
  5. Cannot find any lArdex Feather Finish locally in NI and it seems impossible to order to NI. What good alternatives are there in other products?
  6. Has anyone a pic of how it should be done? Can we just use the black foam stuff or does it need a hard cover on top?
  7. I appreciate anyone loving wood more,I do myself. That said the heat transfer thing did swing me.
  8. Thing is, this seems the most water resistant choice possible. Is there really a waterproof option? The joins in click are always going to be dodgy. We have a dog who swims in the river every day and an alzheimers patient who spills everything possible. I suppose we could go for tiles but they are hard and unforgiving plus we need to do this ourselves so having never tiled before or put wooden floors down, click seemed the less challenging. Floor is too wide for vinyl sheets and the only other thing is resin which is a bit cosmic and eye wateringly expensive.
  9. I think they are all ok apart from the green door and perhaps we could just get threshold ramps to make it work? Of more concern is the bottom of the staircase. I think the 6mm flooring is still going to leave the first step too high compared to all the rest. We have underfloor heating. I wonder what can we do to get around this, I guess build a step or ramp and the bottom of the steps?
  10. Hello, so we really need a floor. Every night our dog goes for a swim in the local river then comes in so we need a waterproof floor. We liked this spc, walnut kinda look to it and can get it for 21 per sq m in the morning (down from 29) But our building control officer does things by the book, no shortcuts. Do you think the levels on these 4 external doors would pass? (there is a granny annexe) Mums front door is the green one and its supposed to be accessible.
  11. Hello, so thinking of getting 12mm laminate plus 2mm underlay. The door metal bar thing is shown in pic. Would that be ok for building control?
