Thanks guys. I do indeed own the centre garage, not the ones either side. @Leofric The entire building above the 3 garages (Inc 1 of the garages) and the front door is mine. The building further forward is my link detached neighbour. We were hoping for the Dormer on the rear of what's in the...

Ah that's all very helpful, Woody. Very helpful indeed. Would a small downstairs hallway count as a 'room'? It also provides a side door access to my garage. I doubt it. It just seems like such a punitive decision to make off the cuff. The style is virtually the same as the other houses around...

Hello there. I have a bit of a problem / query that I'd really appreciate some advice on. We (the wife and I) live in a link detached Coach house that's about 13 years old. The 3 garages with a 1st Floor Bungalow on top sort of thing. We'd really love to do a loft conversion with a full...

After a few years of putting up with this problem I FINALLY decided to get my bum into gear and investigate properly. I'm between jobs, so I had no more excuses! Also I use read this forum frequently, so thought I owe an explanation to anyone else who may have this problem. Upon peeling back...

Big thanks to riveralt. You've earned some pictures. Heh. As usual I was trying to make things harder than they needed to be! In the end it was so simple. But the best bit is that I now understand how it all works. I did wonder at the time why the Commons were joined like that, but it's...

Excellent! I believe I understand. Thanks very much. This is a learning curve for me. I'll get to it in the morning, and report back. To hopefully aid others. I'm very grateful for your advice, cheers. :D

It's in the loft, between two of the six spots.

Thanks for the link. Hmmm, I did have a look at that, but I'm still struggling a bit. However what I didn't mention was that the new switch is actually 3 gang replacing a 2 gang. So, is the link and this diagram....... .......trying to tell me that I can borrow a permanent live...

I'm sorry about this, because I'm pretty sure this is a very common problem. Tried searching, but I'm not quite sure what I'm trying to ask. (If you know what I mean.) :oops: I've just added a new light and switch exactly as per the How to ..... http://www.diynot.com/pages/el/el032.php I...

As for if it's a vented or sealed system, that's something else that's confusing me. My system appears to possess both...... I have a F+E tank on top of the Boilermate, with a ball cock in it. I understand this keeps the CH system topped up. Correct me if I'm wrong. Next to it I have a PV...

Thanks very much for the replies guys. Sorry for lack of response for a while. I don't find the Microbore to be a problem. With the Boilermate the Rads get hot very quickly. After more playing round with the system I've found something quite bizarre. Rad 5 will only get hot if Rad 4 is...
