Yup, take a bit to the merchants and they should do a lead compression joint to copper. Failing this it's quite east to attach copper to lead, some people make it sound too difficult, is an art, etc... Just ream out the end of the lead, allowing the copper to to go inside about an inch. buy...

RE: the corgi bod will tell you. The porch is being built next week, the boiler isn't due to be moved for about a month, hence easy to put a ventilation brick in during construction... I'll dig out the installation guide... Thanks (and Re Frost Stat)

Use 22mm for main flow/return with 15mm feeds to the rads. I used Hep20, pulls through upstairs joists like cable ! No hacking the joists to bits and using cover plates... I didn't use plastic because I cant bend or solder copper, it has many benefits over copper.

yeah, had that mentioned, guess I'll have to run the cold feeds from a tank in the loft as keeping the colds mains fed will reduce the pressure of the hot .... I have a new loft now the double height extension has been built, but didn't want to clog it up with a tank ! Just got rid of one from...

Bosch condensing 26cdi extra, fan assisted, 90deg bend out the top of the boiler straight through the wall and out. The porch will be 1m X 1.5m X 2m (internal) All double glazed, windows to be decided but can hav "trickle" vents added ?

current: 2receptions, hall, kitchen D/S 3bedrooms, 1 bath room U/S Bosch Worcester cdi Condensing boiler. cold water taps and toilet mains fed. All works fine (but usual problem with combi maintianing hot feed to shower if other tap used - rarely happens but is still there) Nearing...

Youd be surprised how "cheap" it is to run american cars - certainly the more modern ones... I have a 400bhp 5.7Litre, does 29mpg on a run, 20 round town, has classic fully comp insurance £600/year living in london !!!! . servicing is cheap, oil tells you when it needs changing, spark plugs...

Nope, legally not allowed to have red indicators on UK plates, but is ok for 3 months before you have to register it. "Legally" having amber indicators are not legal unless they conform to certain conditions, such as brightness, viewing angle, and the major one - having to have "E" marked lenses...

10 years behind ? They had electric windows, roofs, seats, auto-dipping lights back in the 50's. Heads-up displays in the early 80's and their strict emission controls some of the cleanest engines available ! (cat converters in the 70's along with unleaded petrol) They had high-level third...

What do you mean, "they do red ones" ? was that me :lol: no, not me, but not surprised some was having a go at them !

Gave up having the wifes jeep serviced at a dealer when the 3yr warranty expired When I took it to a friend (who looks after my American Cars) he says NO.1 Spark plug had never been changed (as it's awkward) and they have bodged a couple of re-calls (the exhaust and front discs) And they...

Led's last 30,000 upto 100,000 hours !!! Who keeps their brake lights on that long ??? Oh yea, ever been on the M25 between the M3 and M4 at 5pm :lol: Some new BMW's and Mercs have LED clusrters.. You can actually buy replacement bayonet bulbs with LED clusters built in ! And...

DAMN ! :shock:

I remember seeing a bulb failure warning device once, was an outline of a car which was stuck to the dash and had a number of fibre optics which you route to the apporiate bulb/cluster. So when the bulb was on, it would be reproduced on the dash display. I'm sure BMW, Volvo or someone fitted...

What about flashing tape ? give it a good key, and paint on some primer Does seem cheap and inferior solution to lead, but i used this as a tempory fix against a pebbledash wall/roof and 10 years later - no problems... You could actually tuck lead under it, using the "tape" as the...

Found some, 1340 wide X 980 high, just over 400 quid for two, including flashing. Not bad I thought. from the Loft Shop, as it happens, just round the corner from me... thanks for the replies

I've got the "builders" in at the moment. The original plans did not include roof windows so is not included in the price and I decided I need them. The builders will fit them but I want to source them, as if let to the builders, they will add their "bit" on top - and we don't want that, do we...

pitch is 22%. Understand about doubling up on the joists as fitted two in the garage roof recently. Perhaps i'll need to fit more smaller ones... but that increases the cost. Any recommendations of suppliers ? London area pref' but I know most companies will deliver.

Anyone recommend a supplier for velux or velux type roof Windows. Velux don't seem to make the large size I wanted, approx 1300 X 1000 (or there abouts). The "loft shop" windows come in 1200 X 800 As they will be for an exposed pitched kitchen extension, having remote operation would be good...
