Could I keep the existing wood joists and use them as the guide for the floor level? Just thinking instead of removing them, leave them insitu and work around them.

we've got around 2.4m

Hi guys So I have made an PD application for a loft conversion to my local council recently. Talking to my architect, the one issue I’m going to be faced with is the height. So I’ve agreed to drop the ceilings on the 1st floor down 200mm but with even doing that, I’m still looking at only...

what if the cables can be placed under the screed? say below the insulation in a conduit

So if I somehow get the all the mains wiring into conduits then I'm ok? do they do such conduits with splits? that way I don't need to remove the cables. would I need to remove the joists?

so if I was to go down the fill a screed route, would I need to re-route all the wiring or could I simply put them into some sort of conduit?

didn't have the money at the time, to be fair I say new extension but it was done on 2009

this might be the wrong forum to post this so mods please move if required. so I'm thinking about installing wet under floor heating on the ground floor in my 1920's semi detached house. The original floor is suspended but the new rear extension is solid. So I'm thinking I will just remove the...

so I've disabled the look down and the pir's are working better but I'm not 100% convinced! I could be moving around the rooms randomly and after a while with the led come and sense me. Are all pet immune PIR's like this or is it that I've just brought the wrong type/brand?

I phoned Honeywell support and another post on this site also confirmed that you cannot have both the look down and the pet immune feature enabled at the same time! something to do with the area the PIR monitors and when in pet immune mode the floor area nearer to the ground is sort of ignored...

Just installed a veritas excel system with Honeywell IS312 pet immune PIR’s as we have a cat. All wired up and working in CCL mode but the pir’s don’t detect much movement when the pet immune feature is enabled. So I was doing a walk test and a couple of the pir’s would hardly detect anything...

So I have now powerflushed the system but I still have the problem but it doesn't happen so frequently. Reading on the forum I see that its the DHW heat exchanger that needs to be cleaned and remove and to this is not a simple job. So I have brought some DS-40 which I will add and leave in the...

so it sounds like I need a powerflush? is there anything else I should be looking out for? Thanks

I have had this boiler now for around 12 years and it been fine but recently it has started to play up. While the central heating is on and a demand for hot water is called for, once the tap has been closed the red light above the CH temperature dial starts flashing and the heating fails to...

Sorry about the late reply but I think I can safely say it was the thermostatic valve! since removing the head, its been absolutely fine, not even a sound! Thanks again all

If it is a sticking pump, does that mean a potential pump replacement? But why do I always get the noise in the same room? I should get noise from the boiler if it is a sticking pump right?

Thanks footprints I will try that tonight and let you know tomorrow

Been having an issue with our heating system for the last 3 weeks. It’s was a brand new system (all pipes& fittings) which was only installed around 4 years ago, we have a Valliant system boiler & unvented tank. Basically when the system comes on in the morning and ONLY in the morning, we get a...

Thank you Oasis for your prompt reply. Just to be sure, is the below correct? ADE to Scantronic Bell + to 12volt aux Bell - to 0 volt aux T to TR A to OP1 strobe (-ve) to OP2

Hi guys I'm helping out my uncle replacing an ageing ADE Optima with a Scantronic 9651 panel. Now I'm not sure what brand the bell box is but I have noted the following 5 wires connected on the ADE panel; Strobe - T A Bell + Bell - so how do I transfer these onto the Scantronic?
