Sods Law I put a small one in and they'll want a bigger one for something else. Something else to come off the tax bill at least.

Onoff Posted December 6, 2020 Author Share Posted December 6, 2020 (edited) Got the hatch in this morning. If that's not good enough access I don't know what is. I can get up through there on a set of steps. I was making too much dust I thought with the multi tool, so resorted to a pad saw. Painted the cut edges with some D4 and left to dry. The FlipFix hatch is a doddle to fit: I filled where some old pipes went through with intumescent foam. Shot above the bathroom: I'll get BG back in now. Edit: There was some crap up there in the vicinity of the hatch, sawdust, bits of copper pipe and pb. That plus loads of bits of broken brick. Vacuumed it all away and left clean & tidy.

Mr Punter Posted December 6, 2020 Share Posted December 6, 2020 You only needed a small inspection cover but this will give you the benefit of being able to send up a street urchin should you wish to give the rest of the brickwork a coat of paint! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Onoff Posted December 13, 2020 Author Share Posted December 13, 2020 Update: BG coming on 18th Dec. Rang them on the 7th, day after fitting the hatch. Call centre in South Africa by the sounds of things. Only other date was the 24th or the New Year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Onoff Posted November 17, 2021 Author Share Posted November 17, 2021 (edited) ? I put a hatch in for BG to inspect the flue. The BG engineer who came last decided it was the "loft". Said on the lines it could be a problem if you were clambering about in the loft and knocked the flue. Forget for a minute you can't get in there at all easily, the space above the bathroom extension, because of the flue. Whatever I'll strap it up to the wall behind and roof joists above.
