Thanks very much for the advice. The house was built in the 1970's and I am refurbing it. I do need to catch up with the plumber who is a bit busy at the moment. He has already installed the boiler and HWC (both not yet commissioned as waiting for incoming water main (upsized) to be...

Thanks for the reply. As well as the WB system boiler, I have an "Telford Tempest Stainless Steel Indirect 300L Unvented Cylinder" for hot water. So I need a programmer that does both HW and CH? Can someone recommend a model please, I like Honeywell and Danfoss (as they are easy to...

Hi everyone I have bought a Worcester Greenstar 30CDi Classic System Boiler, but have not yet bought the programmer. In my last house we had a Honeywell CMT927 and it worked very well indeed, and was so easy to understand. Do you know whether this unit will work with the WB 30CDi? I see it...

Noseall, thank you so much. Exactly the level of detail I was after. Thanks again!

Hello everyone I want to convert my integrated garage (2m x 6m) in to a study and would be grateful for some advice re. the floor before I go out for quotes so I at least appear clued up! I am only worried about the floor at the moment - and will ask the builders later about walls etc. The...

Hi I am spec'ing a ducted aircon system for my house (primarily for cooling). The system will be verified / installed / commissioned by an HVAC engineer holding the correct certificates. There is an abundance of info on the Internet regarding spec'ing the cooling capacity/kw, however I need...

Thanks guys. I want to relocate the DB outside primarily for reasons of logistics/works programme. Current position is where a doorway will be cut so def has to move - garage will become part of a new kitchen diner. With so much going on and the kitchen/diner design far from being fixed...

It doesn't bother me. Previous property had the DB in the garage which also meant venturing outside. In the 18 years I lived there I could count on one hand the number of times the breakers tripped. In this new property it's more hassle the DB staying inside to be honest. Cheers

Hi I recently moved to a new house that requires a total refurb. The gas and electricity meters are currently located in a garage and will be relocated a short distance to an exterior wall for installation within separate suitable enclosures. Application forms have been sent to the DNOs - not...

Yes, but don't they look nice! http://www.ls-stairs.co.uk/images/WoodenStaircasesAllansWest.jpg

Thanks for the reply. I am def interested. Please can I have more details, i.e. sizes. Is there any T&G at this thickness? Also, how difficult is it to cut with 1mm precision? Prices also please! Thanks

Hi I would like to clad a wooden staircase with real oak. Ideally I would like to use a 6 or 7mm board (which I imagine at this thickness will be all wood and no ply). I don't want to use the thicker boards (i.e. 15-20mm). I was planning to fix the oak layer with proper Sika adhesive...

Hi The staircase to my work in progress loft conversion is as follows: 4 steps, then 90deg winder box comprising 3 steps, then final 5 steps. I would like to fit 2 sections of handrail rather than 1 long continuous length of handrail. Is this permitted by building regs? I have looked on...

Hi The loft conversion is nearly complete and shortly the BCO will visit and sign off the works. Once the works have been signed off and the BCO is gone I would like to clad the basic staircase from 1st floor to loft in oak boards (and also maybe the staircase from ground floor to 1st...

Thanks for the advice guys. I will seek out 22mm and long boards.

Thanks for the reply, I was hoping someone would get in touch. I think I got my numbers wrong, I am looking at 2.2m head height but I would still like to maximise it if possible. Plasterboard going up this morning and plastering out will be finished today. 26mm T&G quietboard (chipboard +...

Evening all Advice needed please for loft conversion. It's a mid terrace and the wall/head height is restricted by the roof we share with our neighbours. Unfortunately we are looking at 1.8m which is not great :-( We are therefore looking at every opportunity to maximise this dimension as...

Hi I am planning to fit a 1700mm x 700mm wetdec/underlay and need some advice re. the tiling on top please. I am thinking about using mosaics rather than the large floor tiles (45x45cm) which are being used elsewhere in the room. This is so I don't have issues cutting the floor tiles to size...

Thanks. Wireless radiator valves? I am going to have to look those up... In the mean time do you have the part number for the wired version of the CM927? I wouldnt want to get the wrong one Thanks again

Hello Boys and Girls I need some urgent(ish) advice regading boiler controls as my replacement boiler (Baxi Neta-Tec 33 HE combi) is being fitted next week. I have given up fitting Baxi controls due to lack of available info and speaking to them on the phone was a complete joke. So after...
