It may be a bit more that you're looking for but Philips Hue lamps will do this, you can also get their own PIR.

Thanks for your input - i wasn't particularly sure on it myself to be honest, i've seen it elsewhere and it was more thinking out loud how it's actually constructed than anything else really. My main idea is to have a garage to the front with an up and over door with a door on the side which...

I'm looking into a few different ideas of extensions to my house. I can extend to the side 3m but it would block off access to my rear garden, ie, no access to take wheelie bins to the back! I've noticed a house close to my workplace that has a 2 storey side extension with the first floor...

Thanks for your reply, sorry for only just getting back to you. A steel purlin running side to side would definitely be an option, i assume this would take up an extra ~70mm depth to the roof (ie, vaulted ceiling level lower) Are 8m lengths easily available? I think i've been measuring...

As the span is approx 4.3m, off the top of my head, the size i got from the table was 200x63?

Yeah i understand, that was my other option which i was trying to avoid but was willing to turn to if absolutely necessary! (I've been trying to find a picture as an example on google for the last 10 mins but can't find the right term to search for)

Thanks, to be honest i think i've left a CGE90/100 "eaves linel" on the drawing, i'll have to change it to a standard CG90/100 which is a bit higher. That'll affect the size of the block on the inner wall, up to ~100mm from 65mm. Every mm is counting at the moment to try and keep the pitch up...

Will do, my LPA has approved a few extensions lately on our estate without question so hopefully i should be ok. I have a sewer easement where the proposed extension is but United Utilities gave me a provisional OK so i can submit plans and arrange a build over agreement. I'll speak to my...

I'm pretty sure my neighbours wouldn't object, but i'd run it past them first to make sure. So would i do 2 different applications or to save the hassle put it all through as 1 full planning permission? Thanks, It's on a new build estate and a neighbour has built an 8m deep garage to...

I'm currently considering extending our house on the ground floor. I've drawn up some plans (at about 75% at the moment - see below) of how i would like it. I'm a bit restricted with height by the first floor rear windows (bottom of window 3750mm from ground level, 3600mm from DPC) but i...

I have a new build and the dot and dab is sealed around all edges with the adhesive so you would have to drill through that.

Where did they bring it from?

Out of curiosity, if you had a fence like this and no visual indication on the brickwork of the attached house, where do you draw the line?
