Fingers crossed I'll be ok now?

It was last Oct and we waited maybe three weeks maximum after being assured it would be fine by the builder. The screed is laid on top of the concrete and we were once again assured that no further DPM would be needeed as he had put one on place. Clearly something has failed. Anyway...

Looking at options here for a sorry tale. We had an extension built with a concrete floor with screed laid and builder advised that it would be safe (and dry enough) to lay laminate on. However after a month or so the laminate we laid started to buckle and lift circa 1mm around some of the...

Cheers guys - thats very helpful about the extraction rates of these devices. Just need to be 100% sure that one of these is needed now.

Thanks for the reply - I guess that makes sense - but not the answer we ideally wanted!! Anymore for anymore on this please?

That's right! Appreciate your response.

Cheers for the reply. The proposed new single extension to a detached two story house will be 3m x 3m and will be added to the existing kitchen which is the current exit downstairs (although we have patio doors too). Exisiting smoke alarms (battery powered) will continue to 'guard' the...

Hi there We're looking at knocking through from kitchen to dining room and adding a utility room to the kitchen. Looking at my local authority's website it seems to say that these need to be of the wired type for new builds. It therefore infers that I can continue using the battery...

Hi there Knocking through a small kitchen into a dining room and adding a utility room onto the side of the kitchen whilst revamping the kitchen totally. Have checked the local authorities website and cannot find any mention that either a cooker hood or xpelair device are mandatory...

Adrian - appreciate your advice and pointing me in the correct direction. What you're saying sounds spot on. Thanks again

Cheers for replying. Looks as though both www.boilerparts.co.uk and www.heatingreplacementspares.co.uk both stock these but at £145 per extension kit (two would be needed). Is anyone aware of a) if these are for horizontal use only? i.e. are these types of kits for use in only certain...

Cheers for replying. Its an Apollo 30si boiler. Guess am asking two types of question - a) is it possible - which your reply suggests it is with these kits b) is it legal to pass these extension kits through part of a house? Looking at the following website...

Hi there Looking at new kitchen and extension and as part of it considering options for flooring. Ten years ago had what were considered decent quality tiles layed on the chipboard (this looks as though its what it is) floor. I guess due to the flexibility of the chipboard over the past 5...

Currently I have a flue which protrudes from a garage where the bolier is positioned to outside. Looking to build an extension such that the flue would then be enclosed in the extension in a utility room. Can anyone tell me the regulations please? Are there kits to enable the gas to purge...
