Thanks. Was simply told that it was impossible to fit either to the doors/frames. Therefore it cannot happen. Maybe it is the frame that prevents it? Or perhaps they don't know what they are talking about.

Thanks! No I own the building and I'm being told this. I am failing to find anyone who can confirm or assist.

Hi, Communal UPVC door. We have a door entry system which should allow the door to be opened. I probably need to revert and start again - but essentially I need guidance on what I can do or what I need to request from the electrician etc. One UPVC door/frame with handles on the inside and...

No it did turn off in the road. That seems to be okay. Moved now to Devon, so apologies my profile needs updating.

Depends what you call complicated - I have 10 toilets (maybe more), a lot of rooms, a few old kitchens and I guess a lot of pipes over an acre site haha

Thanks guys. Appreciate the responses. No tanks, that I know of - unless there is one in the loft space. But I do not think so. I'll check on Monday. Just a lot of pipes. Put it this way after turning off the stopcock in the street, water was still coming out of taps after an hour!! I left...

Thanks - stupid question - but what is the best tool to do that with.

Hi, Need some guidance on how to isolate a water supply to part of a building. The plumber who came out didn't really seem to know! Just need some guidance as to what to do and where perhaps to find a decent plumber in south Devon who can assist. Or perhaps we need more than a plumber...

Hi, I need to be able to turn off a 'tap' - might not be called that though! Any suggestions - probably simple, but I'm not an expert in these matters. Thanks!

Hi, Need to lay a laminate style wood floor. Normally I would start on longest wall, and but am laying in very small hall which has two doors, 1 to a tiled floor WC and one to the lounge. The doors are virtually at the front door. As I need to put the floor partially beneath the WC...

Okay - thanks.

Clearly says EPC ;)

Hi, Any issue with cheaper EPC's - or should they all be good as one another? Not had an EPC done before, but need two doing fairly soon. Looking at prices around £40- £50. Thanks.

Macerators are allowed all the time as long as you have a regular loo.

Thanks. Wasn't sure as it is not a full toilet and so a full waste pipe is not installed. Would the stack / new suite also be subject to building control? All the electrics are being handled under a separate section and building control are not interested as long as it gets signed off.
