I know this is an old post - but I have essentially the same problem with the same make of tank - although my water is heated by a gas boiler.
The new shower draws of the second outlet on the side of the tank. After one short shower we continue to get piping hot water out of the top of the...
I know about the spindles not meeting building regs but it those poses problem.
Firstly the horribly designed stairs are built with one spindle actually built into the centre of each tread (rather than sitting on the stringer) - as such it is essentially impossible to add more spindles...
I think I should more correctly say that there is little movement when applying pressure on the stairs - however, the 'trimmer' can be moved side to sidea small amount with heavy pressure from the hand. It may well be nailed with just a single nail which would allow some rotational movement...
All accurate points and I suspect they were a home made / DIY kit at some point. However, they got past the survey.
They have at some point replaced an identically steep stair case in this small cottage and half the houses in the town have a stair case this steep and these dimensions

My brother-in-law and his wife have just moved into a house with a classic 80s open staircase. They hate it and I have been tasked with boxing it in and making it look like a conventional staircase on as small a budget as possible.

Oh Blimey, good job I did not realise the 1m rule in relation to building regs. Good job you chaps are here.
So what does 'substantially non-combustible materials' mean in reality. Do we mean bricks and mortar/concrete blocks or would some form of treated or clad wood also work?
What is...
Letting it run onto the road is not an option as it will be even further from a road than it is from a mains sewer.
I am not sure what you mean about needs to be non-flammable - do you mean the building construction? Why would this be so? Garden sheds, workshops and even garden offices are...
Hi Chaps,
I want to build a large workshop/store at the end of my garden. The garden is long and narrow, about 4.25m . I would anticipate the workshop being about 3.4m wide with a total roof surface of about 20-24m2.
I am not sure about how to handle rainwater drainage from the roof. The...
