Being leased the wrong garage I can definitely see happening! Fair points, well made :)

Purely as environmental health are quite keen on safety issues. The original build installation was incorrect which should make the freeholder liable. Leases tend to make the leaseholders responsible for maintenance and repairs which this isn't.

It's the building owners responsibility to have correct wiring. If they refuse to sort immediately then get in contact with the council on safety grounds and get them involved

+1 for sistering the joists. Unsure on leaving a void but perhaps PIR on top of the DPM and fill the rest with wool?

Call the local planning dept! It's a good question though as it's not a change from the original design; I would hope they say do it under permitted development but planners can be odd

Do you have pics from the outside?

External if at all possible

Makes sense, thanks :)

Same issues as with any loft conversion. You plan the works and ensure adequate insulation and an ac unit. The only issue is have is the flat roof

Yes

Soil will be fine but get rid of the gravel and you may want to dig it over to remove any compaction

:oops: Why didn't I think of that?! Good call I'll give it a shot

I can always just lob one of these on the dishwasher supply and hope for the best? https://www.screwfix.com/p/sioux-chief-dw660-h-water-hammer-arrestor-3-4-bsp-connection/9813r

I have some water shock in the system somewhere which is mainly set off by the dishwasher; sometimes the washing machine and 1/4 turn taps although not as much. I have an unvented system with this fitted which has the PRV integrated- I'm a bit (but not completely) clueless on this set up so...

Have never seen it before so might indeed pick up a can :) Plenty of practice runs planned

Sounds like being in the Army! :LOL:

I have the mats already but what's the PTFE spray for?

I see. The order is in so let's hope it does the job :)
