Thanks for all the responses. Much appreciated. It's helped relieve some concerns. With regards to the eaves, the extension side has a flat roof whereas original building is pitched. I would be looking to get the eaves extended beyond the wall if I get to that stage.

Hello all, Is the condition of these rear walls a cause for concern? I've recently had an offer accepted on what would be my first house and now have my anxieties playing up as to whether or not this property will be problematic. It's a semi detached property with a double storey extension on...

Is there a cost associated for him when he reports it to NAPIT? I'd rather he just flag it as a new install now and report as if he's installed it now and get the LABC notification done. To redo the line would mean to rip out sealant, tiles etc and then get them back in which is a headache I...

He hasn't supplied me with anything except an invoice since the install. What do you mean by the bit in bold? is this a type of certificate? I just want him to do the notification to Building Control bit and get a confirmation of that so I can go about boarding up my loft and not have to worry...

Update on this: Turns out he wasn't NAPIT registered at the time :mad: but now is (confirmed with NAPIT). He has agreed to come out and 'test and sign off' on the work, albeit 8 months later. On the last call, he was still adamant that no Part P notification is required and it only needs a MWC...

When I replaced the bearing on my LG, I sprayed the bearings in situ with an unhealthy amount of GT85 and left it outside overnight, making sure I aimed for the space between the bearing and the drum. The next day, a hammer and a thick drift made easy work of removing the bearings.

Reading up on the rules, the work definitely needed notifying IMO. If not for the downlights that are 60cm away from the showerhead, then the heated mirror for sure as that is within 20cm of the space above the bath. I'm slightly more concerned as the house is rented from a housing association...

Hi folks, I have a query regarding notifiable works in the bathroom. Back in April, I had a NAPIT registered electrician in to replace a bulkhead light with downlights and install a bathroom LED cabinet. Due to the low ceiling, one of the downlights is within touching distance when in the bath...

Hi All, I had an LED Bathroom Cabinet installed back in April. Been fairly happy with it as I got it at a reasonable price from ebay but recently, I've noticed two small rust spots appearing at the lower middle of the mirrored door. They are about 2mm in diameter. I want to stop these from...
