Thank you very much for that reply. I will contact the Council tomorrow and see what they say. :D

Thank you for that reply.

I cant answer that question since I was not involved in the building regs approval application. This was all done by the builder and his architect.

Thanks to both of you for your swift responses. In answer to some of the questions: Only in the living room. I can appreciate that. The bonus of this is that the faceplates etc are not yet connected to the walls, so the wiring should be easy to check I would have thought. The consumer...

I popped into my nearest Diy store (18 miles away!) and bought 2 lengths of planed whitewood 47mm x 94mm. Unfortunately it did not occur to me at the time to check the wood and I had to cut off about 300mm from the 2.4m length to get it into my car. However when I got home and laid it out...

I have just had an extension built and the only remaining task to be completed is for the electrics to be certified to the council so we can get a completion certificate. The only problem is that the builders electrician is messing us around and we have spent weeks waiting for him to come and...

Thanks for the replies. :D

I need a new radiator in a room which has had the old one removed due to having work done in the room. The window in the room is 1.8mm wide. Having used a number of rad sizing calculators on the internet they all come up with pretty much the same figure for the size of room I have (including...

Thanks to both of you for the reply. :D

I recently have had some work in my lounge and it the builder plasterboarded over the original plaster/render onto the thermalite block wall. As the plaster boards were dot and dabbed, in order to fix the rad brackets to the wall do I need any kind of special fixings to go through the...

Many thanks to the both of you for the responses. I have highlighted to the builder a number of issues that need to be resolved, now waiting on a response. Im not sure how to answer this, except to say that the building regs drawings were completed by 'his' architect.

Having an extension built, however there appears to a number of things detailed in the building regs drawings that have not been carried out. Given that the building inspector cant be on site for the entire build is it trust that the work has been carried out in accordance with building regs...

Thanks very much for the quick reply and information. :D

I am currently having an extension on my property. A quick question relating to the roof tiles where they overhang the soffit. Underneath my existing roof (on the older part of my property) the overhang is a kind of thin Grey cement strip which overhangs by approx 50mm. The tiles then...

Thanks Gas112, That's exactly what i'll do then. Many thanks. :D

Over the years my CH system has slowly had microbore rads removed due to work on the house and new 15mm pipework added. I now have 1 radiator left still connected to the microbore manifold and I would like to remove this last rad (the wall the rad is mounted on is being demolished). The...

OK i'll make the necessary changes :D Not work, just for fun :wink:

Can you have a look at these and see if they are right and look ok?

Thank you once again for such a good reply :mrgreen: I guess looking at you details that a 12 way would be more suitable over the existing 10 way I already have? I haven't yet looked to see if a 10 way is possible.

If I can get my head around what exactly is going on, I will gladly do you some new drawings that you can use for future postings. I'll draw the basic outlines first, and then perhaps you can chip in with the extra details as I go?
