Looking to get a sanity check on appox per sqm price for an infill single storey extension with flat roof, floor area ~16 sqm. ~8m of new footings, brick/block cavity wall on new footing, 2.6m wide bifold door and 1 small window so hardly any brick/blockwork, rubber flat roof. Then knock into...

Got an old toilet to replace where the porcerlain goes downwards straight into some kind of socket (pic attached), what am I likely to find underneath it? Is there likely to be something a modern fitting will push into?

I have a British Gas 330 boiler with a Grundfos Alpha 2 15-60 130 pump, 15 rads plus vented cylinder. Trying to figure out the correct pump setting, the manual says recommended mode is Auto Adapt but this only runs around 6W and doesn't seem to give enough flow (does Auto Adapt actually work?)...

I need to add an ABV but there is no easy access to a return pipe, is it acceptable to bypass to the top of the coil (indirect cylinder) creating the bypass loop via the cylinder coil to the return?

I came accross what I consider a ridiculous flaw in the Drayton Wiser system which I have requested Drayton to address. I had deactivated the schedules for all rooms while the system was being worked on so no rooms had an assigned climate schedule. The system had been fine in this off state for...

BG 330 gas boiler was working fine then no heat/hw yesterday, I've been changing rads, few at a time and a few days back did get an F5 overheat error. Got air out and reset and all was fine. Fitted 2 more rads yesterday, bled out air, system was working fine in the morning then no heat/hw on the...

I know about the diminishing returns on loft insulation but trying to make as many thermal improvements as possible. Burning over 80kWh of gas per day to maintain 17.5 deg C in this cold weather! Windows are UPVC double glazed but 1987 vintage so probably not helping. One section of loft (16m2)...

All my upstairs rooms have sloping edges, or vaulted edges if that is the right term, checked with a FLIR and the edges are cold. Checking the loft there is no insulation at all on the slopes, just single plasterboard. I've got enough room to get in a 50mm PIR board and leave 20mm clear above...

Trying to identify the board type in the picture. In the 1980s a bedroom was built over the garage and this board is around the stack pipe in the garage (for fire protection I presume). When the house was surveyed the only points raised to check for asbestos were artex and if there were any old...

Recently upgraded a Premier Elite 24 with a wired expander and SmartCom, last night it was on part set 1 (night set), bells fired at 03:05am, the log shows both a door vibration sensor and a D20 PIR both went to alarm state at the exact same time and restored at the exact same time, I find this...

Hi Folks, I have just tried to level a floor (before I found the forum) with Febflor Plus, thing is the room is way out in one corner still, I've got one 25kg bag left and was thinking of pouring it in the corner, howver the instructions say "Further layers should not be applied". What...
