Thanks again for the help. Another question about the basin waste, I read the regs and was going to use 40mm due to the approx 3 metre length. By using the HepVo will I be able to use 32mm waste pipe for that? which will be easier to fit inside the stud wall. Also the vented stub stack, does...

Thanks Nige, I've put another picture up of the side view. Interested to know alternative ways of doing this. I think that the Durgo would go in the void behind the toilet but the waste pipe from the toilet will have to go horizontal to the wall before it can drop. Might be able to drop a few...

Hi, Thanks for the detailed replies. Regarding the Durgo in the void, how high does it have to be fitted? How would it be fitted? Am I right in thinking that I would put in a vertical stub off the main pipe via a T? How far from the toilet can i place the T? Also regarding the HepVO's is...

Agree that it's a lot of work but believe that most of the structure is in place already as the original intention in 1972 was to build another storey above but that never happened. We believe that there is a big steel already in place across the window span capable of supporting brick and also...

Interesting difference of opinion here! We will be looking to keep the light loss to a minimum for our neighbours. We only want the dormers to go out to about 2.5 metres externally, not the full 3.6 metres. Also we are hoping to slope the ceilings of the dormers on three sides so we can keep the...

Any PD experts on here? Like to know your views on this proposal. Steve.

Hi, Thanks for all the replies, gives me something to go on now. Steve.

Thanks for the reply. Would you use the 'rapid hip' system on the ridge as well? Just looked at the 'rapid ridge' system and it uses spacers and clips between the ridge tiles so might not be suitable, hence the question about using the 'rapid hip' on the ridge.
