Sorry noseall - I meant where the flat roof meets the eaves of the existing pitched roof. There is also the added complication of a box gutter from the side elevation of the pitched roof which runs onto the flat roof at the highest point in a corner. Maybe some photo's of this would explain...

Hi all! I am extending my integral garage & having a change of use for a part of the existing garage. The extended garage & change of use spaces will be under a single flat roof. However - I am restricted with the flat roof height due to an adjoining pitched roof which runs onto it. I have...

I spoke with the Department for Communities & Local Government - and they are not giving out any more information at this stage - instead reading out a very short statement to that effect over the phone. I asked about the side extension situation - and they again referred to their short...

Yes I too am interested to hear anything about that particular issue in the new proposal... My house is sideways on to the road - so I can currently only extend a very small amount under permitted development. Anyone read anything relating to side extension relaxation?

*bump* Anyone? Thanks :D

Hi Woody Thanks for your reply :) As I understand the outcome of his proposed detailing - the heat loss into the block / beam ceiling 'slab' would be reduced by the insulation below - but still raise the temperature of the slab above the dew point - and the insulation above further reduce...

Hi all! Have a question on behalf of a friend. He has just built a single story extension - block and beam ceiling (sound absorption - it's gonna be a studio) under a pitched roof. BC have been in and suggested he places insulation under the ceiling inside the room - as well as above...

Yes that's the conclusion I came too hence looking for a wet alternative!

Hi Lochy Yes I had already planned to have a large towel rad in the room to provide most of the heat requirement. I wanted to use the Danfoss valve & sensor with UFH pipe to raise the floor / tile temperature. I liked the idea of it being simple with no need for an additional electricity...

Hi Lochy Thx for the reply... Had wondered about feeding the UFH pipe from the outlet of a towel radiator to lower the UFH pipe inlet a little. Is that what you are suggesting?

Hmmm - I'm just not sure :? I had a reply from Danfoss saying as long as the pipes were in a minimum 75mm screed and layed in a snail type pattern then they were confident there would be no damage to the floor :roll: Anyone here actually installed one of these and have some in-situ...

Just wondered what UFH installers think of the Danfoss FHV-R: http://danfoss-randall.co.uk/xxTypex/207541.html I just wondered what the consequences would be of it allowing water at temperatures of +80 Degrees C into the UFH Pipe? I was always led to believe that anything above 55 Degrees...

Hello all Can anyone recommend a MOMO (Motor on - Motor off) 2 port zone valve that is reliable? I am aware of the current Sunvic ones - but am not impressed by their design and failure rates: http://www.seered.co.uk/sunvic.htm Do the older ones not have the dodgy circuit as per the new...

Hi Mehran - Smithy Thanks for the information. Well I might take the plunge. My previous experiences have been far from good - a Vaillant which had THREE diverters - boards problems and a Glow Worm which had a PCB die & other annoying issues. I would take the course and become a...

Hence why I would refer peeps to my original post. Is there anyone actually on here that can give me a users view of the Intergas (Atmos) boiler?

Ahh - well as I'm an end user I don't generally get to see what else is available to me aside from Worcs - Vall't - Gl'wrm etc... Found the boiler on doing some research for a simple but reliable combi given the endless bad user reports from the usual suspects. I see Intergas have...

Hi again Smithy! Thx for the reply. OK - Just spoke to Intergas and it seems the Atmos Intercombi HE32 is a previous generation Intergas boiler. Atmos don't seem to be supplying an equivalent of the newer Intergas range at present. So I'm looking probably now at the Intergas HRE...

Hi Smithy Thanks for the reply. Just been carrying out a little more research. Is the Atmos HE32 a previous version of an Intergas boiler? I see Intergas are the originating manufacturer and they have what appears to be a newer version of the HE32 which has clock functions and a...

Hi Everyone I just wondered if anyone here actually owns an Atmos Intercombi HE32 that could give me their unbiased opinion? It looks to be a brilliant concept (why haven't other manufacturers taken their lead?) but I wanted an owners perspective before I take the plunge. Thanks!

Currently have an old (Thorn 1980s) vented system in the airing cupboard. I'd like to use that space to open up the bathroom. Takes an age for HW to reach the kitchen. It's run in 15mm copper through the loft which I have subsequently insulated. The Kitchen / Utility which also has a sink...
