Sorry for not reverting back. I went and purchased McAlpine trap and works. Only issue is a slight drip where hey meets white which I’ll try and solve tomorrow

Hi Purchased a new blanco sink drainer and can’t seem to get a waste connection for the following. Ideally I would like to attach a trap directly underneath

Hi, I need to install some Fibaro modules behind my light switch. They recommend 60mm back boxes but struggling to find them, wondering whats the deepest available in the UK as I can only find up to 47mm ?

Actually I’ve just remeasured And the builder is including the screed from the bottom of the pipe. So it’s actually 100mm pir boards And 90mm screed and this is actually the edge so may well be lower in other places Doesn’t appear to be worth ripping out just for that as I know ideal is...

Thanks again The TMV is around 45 at the moment I don’t run constantly at the moment I heat for 4-5 hours overshoot and leave it off. Sorry I meant the house is 2700 sqft yes the screed is showing around 120mm at the moment which is why I’m contemplating refitting. But as you say 18k is a lot...

Thanks yes I have upstairs rads so yeah I run at 55 to heat upstairs else it's cold. But during this renovation these are also changing to low profile UFH. I guess then I can bring the flow rate down and run for longer instead of over shooting, yeah we spent alot of time at home especially...

I guess what i'm trying to figure out is if my UFH has been botched as I have 110mm PIR i'm guessing 120mm Screed is ok as it's a different kind of design

This is my graph from my thermostat

Thanks for response i've also noticed the UFH maintains the heat. My flow rate at the moment is 55 and my bills are crazy. Yes all the rooms are zoned. Wouldn't the 120mm concrete make it inefficient ? am I better lowing the flow rate but keep the heating on 24/7. At the moment am airing...

I've had wet UFH for 12 years and it takes hours to heat up our rooms. My gas bills are extremely high especially now due to rising costs. i'm not getting a minor renovation and my builder has discovered that the pipes are under 120mm of screed. ATM the concrete takes hours to heat up but...

It’s for depth on a double storey rear extension.

@woody I think @DevilDamo Is referring the what the angle would be based on the guidance quoted here with regards to depth

Thanks for the confirmation so for bays it’s just the start of the bay and not any part of the bay ?

Hi I found this but find the language a bit confusing. so if I understand it correctly I would need to come in at least 4m from my neighbours bay window. Before I’m allowed a depth of 2m and at a distance of 3m I would be allowed a depth of 1.5 m. Depth The depth of any two storey rear...

Hi, Hoping for some advice and need to know if there's any validity to what my architect is tell me. I have lost some confidence in him but need to utilise him since he has the original plans for my house from my extension. I live in a semi detailed property, on the 1st floor bedrooms on...
