Seems the installer was quite right: Here's what i've found: "If building and heating your extension means moving a boiler then you need to be aware that under building regulations, this is classed as a new installation. So it's not just as simple as moving your current boiler - if the...

I dont think the mate giving me a quote is remotely biased simply as he was already on board to move the boiler from the outset and isn't charging me anymore to move it. Having looked at it the other day (vent seems to be at the rear rather than above to allow a horizontal flue through my flat...

Hi dudes. Having an extension done. My builder and plumber have told me that the boiler will need to be replaced. I have the Potterton Profile 100e. The boiler is to be shifted to the other end of the building and i'm told i have to have an A rated boiler. Wondering which is best.. I...

i love that cold cathode lighting! Brilliant. I'm going to look into that tonight! My room is to be a dedicated home theatre. Spotlights fit the bill for the room and again i wont have the on all the time. The side wall lights will be on far more. Could you guys offer some alternatives? I'm...

oh.. in terms of the lights on the ceiling there are 11x 35w halogen gu10's. The room is 6mtrs by 5.6mtrs so quite large.

I'm building an outbuilding under the permitted development scheme. I've given building notice and need to provide a certificate at the end. I've ordered a mood lighting system - scene style 4 which sets moods and allows me to dim the gu10's right down. I'm never going to have the main...

THANK YOU so much. thats very very helpful! Electric output is scarey though..lol

Dammit the hostility on this thread....I was hoping i could get some friendly advice but i'm getting thrashed! :oops: Could somebody please advise.

hello mate, he did include electrics in his quote.. he just didnt tell me that the guy wasnt uk qualified. I know.. I'm very angry about this but now just want the build completed. I appreciate i've got a serious hurdle to take on re getting it signed on but theres not much else i can do other...

Hiya mate. Heres the score. My builder has a sparky (Polish) Seems very competent. Qualified in that neck of the woods. I was initially told he was qualified but when i spoke to him he didnt have a certificate in this country. I now need another electrician to inspect, test and certify. I...

i've got 11 gu10s in room one on circuit 1, 6 on circuit 2, ropelight and wall lights. It's all mood lighting and the circuits will be dimmed right down. All wont be on together much of the time. I'll be going down the energy gu10s route at some point! I'll definitely stick to the 3 core...

Hi guys, i'm building an outbuilding which is around 45 mtrs from the house. The lighting will involve a few circuits in 2 rooms. In total, light output will be no more than 1,500watts (1.5kw). for power i'll have an amplifier and subwoofer which'll be around 400-500 watts each, a few av items...

Hi guys, i'm a tad confused. Building an outbuilding at the rear of the garden. I'm aware that the max height in order to satisfy a 'permitted development' is 4metres. We have had to install beam block flooring as we had clay soil. This has meant that the floor has been raised. Equally...

Right, i've been on the phone to a structural engineer this afternoon. I've been quoted £500 for the calculations. I'm told he'll draft up the design of the roof quoting details of the timber widths etc. I guess the calculation will involve the installation of an RCJ. I'm trying to balance...
