This is an 82cm frame, so it's possible. You'd just have to consider the detail of how the boxing in of the frame would impact on the window sill.

What kind of cost is a Baxi fixed price repair? I think the PCB will be around £140: https://www.heatingspares247.com/baxi-combi-40-printed-circuit-board-pcb-5122287.html

Is there any way to confirm it's the PCB or is it a case of swapping it out to see if it resolves?

Thanks for that. So I wonder if the PCB is at fault, because the boiler will stay in that state (radiator light on, but no flame light), and heating will not kick in even after 3/4 hours while the room thermostat is calling for heat. As soon as I switch the boiler off and back on, both radiator...

The problem I'm having is that occasionally, when the heating is switched on, the green 'radiator/heating' light comes on on the boiler, but not the amber 'flame' light. While the boiler is on this state, radiators don't get warm. If I turn the boiler off and back on, the heating kicks in as...

Terry, nothing like that on these. Madrab, no nuts visible when you look,the pipes disappear into the body. I called the tech line for plumber/installers, and got confirmation that they're not removable. I cut the pipes down a little and got a couple of 15mm to 10mm reducers and attached...

Morning, I have a new basin tap (Ideal Standard Moments A5565AA) and whenever I have fitted basin taps before, rather than using the copper tails provided, I've used some flexible tails. This tap came with the solid tails already fitted, and when I try to unscrew them, they just revolve and...

Wet wipes not flushed. Who's the fool with a dirty smelly a***e? ;) :-D

Yes, that's what I use when out and about.

Do you have a shower (and shave) after each and every load you dump? Must say I find having my back end cleaned with water after using toilet tissue, then drying with toilet tissue infinitely more desirable then just the paper. I could never go back to just using paper.

Thanks for the comments. The issue with my local planning authority is that although they claim to offer an informal drop-in advice service, when you get there, they ask you to email your details, and then get pushed through the formal application processes. I'm happy to do this, but want to...

I know it's been a while, but been busy with a new baby! Surely, it's only classed as a side extension if I am building to the side of the original house? I want to build on top of a single storey section of the original house. Page 20 of the Technical Guidance gives more detail...

Thanks for the reply Jeds. There are no boundaries within 2 meters of the single storey section of the house that we want to build on top of. The closest boundary is 6 meters.

Just to be clear, the pics above are the existing plans/elevations.

I've been using the forum for some time now, and found the advice very helpful. This is the first time I've needed to post a question. The house has never been extended, and the single storey annexe was built at the same time as the double storey section of the house - it's part of the...
