putting a niche in an external wall
Search the forum,
that might require building regs approval as a "structural" alteration. Don't get caught out.... As for the rest.... No idea.
Good god, really alan.
Thats total overkill on the planning department , bloody hell
I would not be doing it...
No worrys dave,I would,it would not cause any problems whatsoever ever that I can think off
It is if you only rifle shampoos from hotels, they are small and would fit very nicely. :lol:
If it were a DIY job you would probably do it and no one would be any the wiser but as its a pro job it could come back and bite you... Not saying it is a building regs matter but there is the structural consideration of putting a lintel in a supporting wall as well as the opening up of the cavity which will affect the insulation performance...
Just check first is what I'm saying. Technically it would be a structural alteration which would be notifiable under part a of the building regs.
John........HAVE YOU BEEN FOLLOWING ME?..........londoners dont steal everything you know!!!!!!!!.......
I personally have left all the road signs and drain covers in place......Recently....well, since the scrap metal merchants brought in the new regs at least!!! hhehehehe

You know Lee, if it ain't nailed down these days it's gone. Saying that my plumber left a sink outside a customers for 5 mins with the new taps he'd fitted and pikeys had the decency to take them off and leave the sink, so he only had to buy the taps :mad2:
I guess as the box is not breaching the internal wall so there shouldn't be any thermal issues once the box is sealed to the extrior wall. It has to be fitted with a vertical DPC behind it on the interior wall as well.
Also according to my house builders bible the box is allowed to be fitted without a lintel so no structural issues there.
Diggy :0)
Just checked Lee, last one was about drill bits you sent me, so if there was one after that then no

Could you not just build a feature wall incorporating said niche or niches above the top of the bath on the existing wall, I did some recently that were only 80mm deep in the same situation, using studwork. Sort of surface mounted boxes if you like, but posh. They looked good in the end and the customer got there design.

Not really dave, if he takes bricks out and just sticks a 1x1 frame at the back of the brick not into the cavity ,he would get a 4" or more niche.only small but enough for some soap
I would not be doing it...

I have to say that I am with Dave, to cut into the block work of a building just to get a pigeon hole is not a good idea...... to cut into block work (50mm ish) without breeching the caveity is fine...
(like putting in boxes for instance)...
but that don't make a usefull pigeon hole (its not deep enough!) IMO.

he is lucky they did not put a hammer through the sink and just grab the metal........then he would have needed a sink too!......that is a more usual practice!......Trust me....
I was on a job in chelsea a few months ago and all the heating system was drained down.....the contractor reomved all the rads
(those big fat ones like when you were in school (well maybe not when you were in school....you proberbly had a small fire you all sat around!)...hehhehehhe....anyway.....
they were taken into the front garden...masked up and sprayed with hammerite................painter went outside to remove the masking and guess what......there was no need.....
the whole lot had been removed while he was inside eating his sarnies!!!!
hehehehehheheheheee
