Thanks very much for breaking the choices down. I assume for No.1, I use 22mm? For No's 2,3,4 I would need to feed a new gas pipe, so I guess I would need to decide whether to take a copper pipe safely or get the gas company to extend their existing pipe to the new building. No.5 is the...

So in that case the only choice I have is either get a gas pipe pulled and have a combi boiler or all electric?

Ahh right, thanks very much for clarifying. Since the pipes would go underground, what sort of insulation would I need to ensure the pipes keep the heat for as long as possible? Thank you to everyone for your excellent advice. From what I've gathered I'm think that for DHW and CH, I use the...

Apologies but I'm unsure what you mean and what is F&R? I'm not bothered whether it's buried or in the open, so long as it's safe, can stand the weather and doesn't look out of place.

Apologies if I wasn't clear in my OP, but the electricity cabling, water and gas have not been connected as the building process is still in early stages, hence I was trying to decide what to do.

Sorry which cable are you referring to?

Cheers. Will do that. Thanks for all your help. Much appreciated.

I agree, but the price of electricity right now extortionate and I can't think of anything else other than gas

I would be happy with electricity for heating, but it's so expensive compared to gas

That's great advice, thank you. Would it be possible or worth checking the gas pressure before we start the build? Just worried this is going to cost an arm and leg.

I see, thanks. Are you saying that I would need the gas company to extend my gas line or that corgi plumber would be able to do it? Also what size pipe would I need and would it be copper or something else?

I'm afraid LPG is not ideal for our situation, hence it would have to be either existing boiler or getting a gas pipe pulled up to the new premises. Assuming the existing gas supply is sufficient, would I be able to get a corgi registered plumber to pull a 22mm gas pipe to outside and if so...

Thanks for your prompt reply. Apologies, I've got normal gas mains, so how do I run it on LPG? Other than delayed delivery time, would my DHW and CH work as expected if I used my existing boiler? Could there be any other issues that I should be aware of?

Hello, We're in the process of getting an insulated outbuilding built at the end of our garden for ourselves and also a family member whom has sensory need to use the odd occasion. The new outbuilding will have 3 multi-use rooms which are: 1. A relaxing/sensory room 2. Wet room (Basic...

Doggit, you're right in saying that water may still be able to bypass the concrete getting under it, then behind and above it, but surely by having concrete I am protecting the clay from getting washed away from fast water coming down the hill? I'm also thinking what John said earlier that...
