Trusses

I too prefer a pitched roof, and maybe because of the size of the garage, and area I need to cover maybe its the best way to go. Yes your spot on!! I havent planned my roof at all, hence the reason for posting on the forum in the first place, as for my abilities to build the roof then you...

Off the top of my head I think im aloud a total height of 2.4m height without planning. I'd like a pitched roof, but my idea of a 1 metre high pitch will take me over by 0.5m. Although I live in a relatively quiet area with excellent nieghbours so im sure it would go un-noticed. I too would...

Hi. I started building my loft conversion just over a year ago. It started off as a normal dusty dark attic with 1/4 plyboard flooring, which was there before I bought the house. I started by ripping up all the floor boards and then added new 7" x 2" sawn joists, by sitting them on the wall...

im end of a 5 house terrace. the mains supply comes off the road, around to the back of my house where it tees of to next door using 1/2" corroded galv piping. Welsh water replaced the valve off the mains, and about 4 foot of pipe with alkathene fittings which did help, but it could be better!

im not really at that stage yet. im currently finishing strengthening the floor joists, and getting velux installed. I know of a corgi installer to call upon when i need to. probably at end of Feb

so i need to ensure my incoming supply is tip top then?

ok lol. I've been told. combi it is then?

what i was thinking is that if my galv tank is full of water, then the weight of that water in a 2 foot x 3 foot tank should force water up, if its only a 15mm copper pipe? but thats why im asking lol. im no expert. thanks for all the quick replies

Hi all. First post so please be kind! I am doing a loft conversion, and i would like to add 3 radiators in my attic. I have an open vent system. Am I right in assuming that i can add radiators at the same level as the expansion tank (as its in the attic) as the heating system is pumped...
