Brilliant - thanks for all that The four holes you mention are actually threaded, and two of them are for fixing the font cover plate back to the wall, the other two are spare from what I can tell. the used holes are diagonally opposite. anyways, mounting is really not a big issue, I...

Hi I have been asked to fit a concealed shower valve (roca), but the instructions are very vague, and I'm a bit unsure on how to proceed. so, the valve is like this: the two inlets lower right / left side are the hot and cold IN, and the two outlets right/left at the top are the...

hey, i dont wanna upset anyone here - but my question was "is there any plain english documentation" - i'm fully aware there is all the official docs, but as i'm sure you agree, these, whilst very useful, can be somewhat heavy reading. I simply wondered if there was anything else worth a...

LiamPope - thanks, i already have found the OSG, just was a little narked at the last post - didnt really tell me anything useful :) Like i said, i'm happy i can complete to a good enough standard, done plenty of electrics before to satisfy my own standards (non notifiable stuff of course)...

er - thanks, any chance of some help then? Where can i get a copy of the "on site guide" - preferably online what is the best, and most resonably priced place to get such a tester? - bearing in mind i will only use for this job? I have a copy of Part P, the 2006 edition is the most...

Ok guys - thanks i am going to self wire, i will notify at the start of the wiring (obviously they already know abouth the building works and have done several inspections) its a full plans submission, but i see there might be an inspection charge - hey ho.. now, is there any good...

Hi Just having an extension built, and i know that BC need to check that works are up to scratch (various things etc), are there any "mandatory" inspections.. i realise that BC need to see everything is done as you go, and its up to the builder / you to ensure they can inspect to their...

Hi all just about to complete a side extension (garage / utility / bedroom etc) - we have obviously submitted full plans under labc, and they have done many inspections, question is this: can i wire it myself, and get it inspected (at no cost) under the normal inspections that will be...

All further to my recent post, we are having a double storey side extension, garage utility below, and bedroom above..... my plans state that all habitable rooms should have cavity wall with insulation construction i notice the bulder has buit up to 1st floor on the garage wall with a...

thats great, all i need to know :)

seriously, will someone just answer the question does a 100mm block / 100mm cavity/ 100mm block wall meet a 0.3u thermal value? the blocks are plasmor fibolite standard solid, 3.5N (as previously stated) the insulation is Isover cavity wall system 100mm (as previously stated) yes the...

it was deposited before 1st oct does the 100 block /100 cavity /100 block as detailed above meet 0.3u ?then

steady on, i'm no professional - thats why i'm here :) i presumed (wrongly i now see) that 0.3 was the latest spec - i have checked to specs submitted to BC and they say 0.3, so does this lot meet 0.3?

Isover cavity wall system 100mm ?????

The blocks are, according to delivery note, plasmor fibolite standard solid, 3.5N, these ok?

Does 100mm block / 100 cavity / 100 block meet 0.3u build regs - assuming solid blocks.

All my builder is about to start building up the walls on my extension, it going to be block/block with 100mm cavity. question is this, what is "normal" construction fo these walls - solid concrete blocks, or thermalite or similar, and what insulation goes in? a load of 100mm concrete...

ok, great, the plans dont actually show how big the return is, but 3 bricks was my estimate from the diagram, - its the SE diagram that shows 900mm - when you say "it can be worked out" - what can? - if the return is smaller, what needs to change to compensate? ta

it was sorted at the planning stage, and the plans show a narrow pillar (IE just the width of the wall), but after that BC asked for calcs for the beams, and the guy who did those took it upon himself to ignore the plands and draw a 900mm return? the only reason i could think for this was due...

Hi Just building a side extension on my house, its a garage utility, with bedroom above. The garage will level up to the front line of the house, using a new cavity wall as its left side, and the existing wall of the hiuse as its right side (looking from the street). Planning has stated...
