Once again.. thanks so much...you've been so helpful :)!

Thanks Woody...trying to, but the stairlift rail creates quite a few issues...couldnt get planning permission we needed for a lift so now trying to find creative ways to keep everyone safe. We have other added ideas to help with safety...but need to address BC rules first so we can work our...

Thanks so much for the link (and the advice)! All the other doors i found were talking about only allowing 8mm off each side...so these look fab! Do you know if there anything in the regs I can look at about triangular topped fire doors...or do you reckon this will just be down to our BC officer...

We looked into sprinkler/misting solution instead but they were quoting over £7000...well beyond our budget :(

Because of my wheelchair we will hardly ever be closing fire doors behind us as a we go, so this is purely to try to keep BC happy.

Thanks again for the ideas...we'll have a look at that

Thanks for the idea...appreciated...unfortunately the jumpax system would cost us nearly half a grands extra expense and raise the floor another 10mm higher

Thanks for responding...nope...a leak in the floor is at least one job we are not having to deal with thank goodness...the floors dry...and no damp either :)

Sorry...should have added that taking up the tiles isn't an option unfortunately...

Hi all I was wondering on anyone's advice re this vinyl click floor in our kitchen... I have established with Karndean that I can pop it straight over the existing tiled surface as grout lines less than 5mm deep and wide. The 20m2 floor is currently really cold (concrete slab under...

Just realised posted in general...Will repost in windows and doors...
