Cheers for the explanation Woody. Merlin - best of luck getting that goat ;-)

What category does a goat fall under out of the above, I would be intrigued to know.? :D Also I'm sure a goat is free standing it wouldn't stay stationery for long :-P

Guys, I am building a porch/conservatory and as such they are classed as non-habitable rooms. As a general rule, what can /cannot be placed inside a non-habitable room.?? I am referring to items such as cupboards (wall mounted or free standing), electrical appliances. I am not looking to...

Fitting a fire door is not a problem with appropriate door frame. Only a few extra quid. thanks

FMS, its a solid 9" brick wall & the height from the top of the window is 50" - so lower than the door that would replace it.

Guys, Currently have a window on ground floor, under my staircase. That opens out into my garage. I want to replace the window with a door (standard 30") to gain access into the garage from inside the house. The wall itself is part of the main outside wall ( although intrnal) if you know what I...

Sorry, to clarify building a conservatory, but as the main wall is within 1m of neighbours wall, building a boundary wall, no glazing.

Hi, Following on from my conservatory post, I wanted to confirm with my local BC what is a suitable depth for foundations for the boundary wall as it will be a full brick wall, although I dont need to do it their way, I thought the general guidance would be worthwhile. They have suggested I...

[/url] Can call it a porch, which is cool, BUT council say anything over 3m square requires planning permission, regardless of where the porch is situated, ie/ rear or side of house, as long as its not a habitable room.

Hi, looking to build a conservatory on the side of my house off the kitchen. It will be accessible through exterior bi-fold doors and is exempt from Building regs as it fits within the criteria. Also the main wall is within 1m off boundary wall so will be completely bricked & exempt from...

Not to upset freddymercurystwin and detract from the subject, I was hoping that I could build my conservatory, which in fact is exempt from Building Regs, but use less glazing on roof area to keep it warm in the winter. I dont believe I will be able to without a Building Notice :cry:

:D I will do so, thanks for your help. :D

I have however just seen this:. http://www.communities.gov.uk/documents/planningandbuilding/pdf/1728453.pdf Section C25 "Building Control Bodies will want to note that the definition of conservatory in terms of percentage translucent material as set out in previous editions of the Approved...

I will go down with these documents and see what they say :D Regarding your post quote above I have looked at the document but it doesn't actually state "it will be exempt from the regs no matter how much or little of its roof or walls are glazed" Is there any way of clarifying this point or...

Having spoken to Building control for Wolverhampton they stated the following, as soon as you change the construction of the roof from 75% translucent material to tiled for example it falls under building regulation control for the whole build. As it changes the conservatory into an extension...

Carbon Fibre - thats neat - but what are you laying it on??

Any further progress??

Thanks for reply, If I can pick your brains, the extension roof will be approx 20 feet by 8 feet, can you recomend some windows, enough to let light in, but no to many to loose all heat in the extended kitchen? Also I am not sure whether to have a tiled roof or flat roof, your suggestions would...

Hi, Want to know if I can use double glazed units in my roof for kitchen extension oposed to loads of cost in getting velux type windows installed. The roof will be sloped.
