Hi, thanks for the tips. I had kind of planned to pull through in sections as you say. I was going to pull extra drawstrings through. Ill probably lay them out up the garden as you suggest and be aware that they may be twisted when in 10 years I want to pull another cable through. (I wont...

Hi, trying to figure out how much keraflex ill be needing. The floor is currently relatively flat screed The tiles are ceramic 615x205x8mm Approx. 70sqm being covered I have done a fair amount or reading and think I need a 10mm bed and want to use something slow setting as I'm no pro. I have...

thanks all. ill be going with the outdoor cable and some 40mm pipe to protect it between ground and entering the wall. cheers.

ban-all-sheds thanks. Simon, unfortunately not. could have done before they built the extension. but didnt think of it at that time. i think the pipe solution will be OK.. (untill the misses sees it!) :-)

Cheers. I guess you can get that in white or grey to make it a little more subtle than the black. (house is currently beige)

I have buried approx. 30m of 50mm twin-wall in the garden. I intend to pull 4 x cat5 cables through it down to the garage. What I'd like to know is how to get the cat5 into the house without it being exposed to the weather / sunlight. Obvious options are: a) 50mm hole in the house, shove...

I have approx. 72sqm of 615x205x8mm ceramic tiles for hall, study, kitchen/dining, bathroom and lounge. I'm doing some research on the best way to lay them and how to prepare the floor for them. The floor is all screed. Some laid about 2 weeks ago and some ancient. We will of course allow the...

well the plumbers flew through the job. we have no drain off points on the rads but do have an outside system drain point. I can add the rad drains later if needed. thanks for the advice.

Having whole house refurb and extension part of which is a complete new CH system. (its a bungalow) Having read around the forums and and net I think I want : 1) drain points on all radiators (the lock-shield with built in drain off) so that radiators can be removed for decorating etc. 2) a...

Funnily enough I have just been reading about quattro lnbs. That's what I'll do then. 3 coax to the living room. 1 each to the kids rooms. Versatile enough. There will be plenty of cat5e for things like streaming off the nas and iplayer etc. Cheers.

I guess id either control it with a magic eye type thing or some kind of IR over cat5 thing.

We are having some major works completed on our property and the whole place will need re-plastering etc.. While all this is going on I'm taking the opportunity to install Cat5e in all the rooms. There will be 2 cables going to the kids rooms and more going into the master. 8 behind the tv...

OK. Thanks all I think I'm happy for the builders to proceed with the sbs torch on stuff.

The flat part is approx. 4m x 4m No particular brand specified. Indeed. I would be less worried if it were a north facing roof. The wooden windows we had on the south facing side took an absolute beating. So we know what the sun can do. Cheers.

Hi, we are having quite a bit of work done on our place. One bit is a new flat roof.. Architect specified "fibreglass roof finish laid by specialist installer" Builder is planning on going for the below 2 products, again laid by a specialist. IKO SBS Torch-On Cap Sheet Anderson Premium SBS...

:-) Ok thanks. For above ground tanks.. any regulations about overhanging trees etc? I would guess that its the same as clearance from combustibles.

Don't know if asking for fitters/ trades people is allowed..... But does anyone know of an installer for underground oil tanks serving Essex?

Muggles. . Will look into that then. We could perhaps have a section of fence replaced by concrete or brick providing the fire resistance. Might be a go-er. Simon. Like the tank. I'll see if they have slimline ones. I also like the boiler. Might save some inside space. Cheers guys.

Hmmmmmm. OK. So what are the regs for an oil tank regarding boundaries etc . This particular fence has a country road the other side. Have considered underground but have been unable to find out much in the way of details. In our case we have a septic tank near where the oil tank may go...

We are in the process of renovating our house. Time has come to consider the heating. Were thinking LPG bottles as a tank needs too much room. Oil again too much room. We have the Calor sheet on how close to windows, doors, toxic waste etc.. But does anyone know how close to the boundary these...
