    Looking to put large lantern in flat roof of proposed extension and am finding it difficult to actually find what the maximum permissible area of glass is. I've been quoted 20% of area but I thought I had seen some comment that it all depends on what time of glass is used eg Reflex...

    Megaflo vs gravity

    I know there are numerous posts in the forum about megaflos and whether they are any good or not. However, what I still haven't managed to find is a nice simple pros and cons of going to a Megaflow vs a trad gravity fed system with a new pumped shower. I found plenty of cost related...

    Cold towel rail

    We've got an old gas-fired system with a mix of large and small bore pipework, school and 'normal' type radiators and get reasonable heat from the rads. However, the towel rail in the bathroom remains stone cold. We've bled all the rads (none or very little air in any) but this has not...

    A matter of history? - Position of ceiling lights

    Does anyone know the reason for ceiling lights in a 1920's house generally being very close to walls or windows rather than either centrally or at least inset positioned? Anything to do with silhouettes of people (ie people looking from outside a window not being able to see people inside?)...

    Identifying Existing Mods

    Hi, first post so hope someone can help. We've just moved house and I am looking at adding a number of additional sockets. My first 'project' is the study where I need to add probably at least 8 sockets (ie 4 doubles). I was going to do this by extending the ring ideally using existing...
