I'm having a system boiler installed and unvented cylinder and all new pipework, rads and underfloor heating . I want the following zones : 1 hot water 2 main house upstairs (rads) 3 main house downstairs (rads) 4 annex (underfloor heating) split into 4 sub zones What is the best...

OK, thanks for that. In that case is there a cheaper way to achieve the same level of insulation rather than TD4000?

What will cause it to look like a patchwork quilt? People attach EPDM directly onto 18mm ply (for example) all the time. What exactly is the problem with attaching the EPDM to 126mm rigid TD4000? It is true that the integrated surface is 5.5mm ply but you have 126mm of rigid board in total.

Not sure Lee is going to tell me. Anyone else have any ideas?

Are those figures about right for a 50 sqm annex?

I haven't submitted my plans to building control yet. Do approved inspectors cost more than the council service?

Would you install the kitchen with the build or wait until the extension had been signed off?

Yes I agree that is what is done hundreds or thousands of times all over the country in situations like this. I was just wondering about the best way to approach it......blatantly or surreptitiously.....furtively....

Anyone at all...

They have the power to reclassify the annex as a separate dwelling and charge council tax on it.

Could I put 11mm OSB3 board on top of the celotex instead of the more expensive ply?? Anyone is welcome to reply :D

Could I get away with calling it a utility room if there is a gas hob there though? BTW would building control be concerned with whether we have a kitchen or not i.e. do they communicate with planning about this stuff?

Planning are clear that it's a "granny flat" but are keen that all food should be prepared in the main house. The plans already contain a bedroom and bathroom.

I have received planning permission for a side extension where we intend our elderly relative to live. The planning dep were not keen on a kitchen in the extension so we did not include it. Our relative does want a kitchen though so I wondered if we could build it in anyway or will that...

Or is there maybe a better/simpler/cheaper solution to creating a small insulated warm deck flat roof?

Well I would be very grateful if you would tell me about it.

Is it a secret :shock:

Just one boiler and one gas meter.

I am having a new gas central heating system installed. It will service the main house and "granny flat" annex. Is there any way to sub meter the gas used in the annex to produce reasonably accurate bills?
