We had our loft done on our 1930s semi in December 2021. A private bc firm was happy to accept interlinked alarms in every room and fd30 in the new loft bedrooms. No other doors were changed. We’re currently having a ground floor extension and the council inspector tells me their policy is for...

There's a lot of it about :giggle:

Yeh a risk, but 1) a 1 vote majority is a win. Out means out. 2) The next Scots election probably gives them a fresh mandate to try something else.

Could be. But now appears to be the ideal time to provide cover for any pain caused by poor political decisions

Every time the pro-leave parties are voted in, they are given a fresh mandate. That's democracy too. If the voters don't want the SNP to pursue their main goal, then they are going to vote for other parties or stay at home, right?

I don't think a straight majority is particularly relevant. If enough voters give pro-leave parties control of the parliament, then by definition they have a mandate to pursue ways of leaving the UK.

Every time the Scots vote SNP, they are giving their parliament a mandate to look at ways to achieve independence... that's democracy init

if they gave me 100m, i'd pump ALL of it back into the economy. Take that, monarchists (y)

Yeh you’re right that’s another bit that looks untidy . I’m not liking the bottom of the vertical strip where it meets the sill. Just looks cheap.

I’m having an aluminium window next to aluminium sliding door in my extension. This strip between the two looks a bit scruffy to me, considering the cost of the damn window and door. .. Is there a better way to do this? Maybe hiding the cut ends of the trim in some way?

Yes that's exactly what I've seen on hot tubs. Given the size, potentially the pieces of insulation could all be cut to shape but free-floating, the tarp then hides the lot

Look up lids for hot tubs. Perhaps make something similar or buy/modify 2 of them for your pool shape and size?

thanks, yes i was expecting them to do something like this. I had already asked them about it and sent a pic from the NHBC :rolleyes:

Hi - we're having a flat (1/60) roof built abutting an existing garage dual pitch roof. The 1/60 direction is along the length of the pitched roof. To my layman's eyes, the existing felt on the pitched roof should be lapped over the waterproof top of the roof, in case of water ingress under the...

I did exactly this in a kitchen extension, BC were fine with it. We never used the fan mind, as it was across on the opposite wall of the extension, what would be the point? :)

Is there any issue with the cavity/board insulation getting wet in partially built walls? (Currently having an extension built and there’s been a lot of rain this weekend)

What’s the issue with walls getting wet? Once the roof is on won’t they dry quite rapidly?

In our recent conversion (1930s semi), only the new loft bedrooms had fire doors. Nothing else was changed except interlinked alarms in every room.

Isn’t the alternative to have an alarm in every room? 2 floor house plus loft conversion - Our only fire doors are the loft bedrooms. Was signed off in November last year.
