I have an existing outside cable run that feeds a power socket and light at the bottom of the garden. I am getting rid of the socket and light but now need power in the shed I have recently built. So....I dug down a small trench to find the old cable..carefully of course..and after...

I am currently getting building reg drawings done for a major house extension. I want the contractor to also 'power up my shed' whilst he is on site. The house is being partially rewired with this work with a new CU being fitted. It will need a trench digging out it across the garden, swg...

Thanks Gents! I now know to 'proceed with caution' Scott.

Hi Folks. Just to be clear - the wall is currently a single brick thick. The area will be a internal rooms - the back half becomes part of the kitchen and front a downstairs toilet so it will need boarding up with enough insulation for standards. Im not sure how that s achieved and how much...

Is there a consensus that there will be no materials and labour saving even though new gorund works would have to be done? That is my main selection citeria! Cheers.

Very good range of responses!!! Disagreement, agreement and the 'pros and cons' response!! Ill take the advice on balance then and sound out some of my short list of builders nearer the time. Cheers.

OK, first lets set the scene.. I have an existing single story side extension of single brick skin around 2m wide running down the side of the house which is around 11m. It has a corrugated roof on and serves as an 'out house' for bikes etc and it is accessed from the behind the house via...

I'm not an expert but your architect should be handling this stuff. Even if you are just paying him for drawings then he still needs to figure out himself if it needs re-locating or not as that surely needs descrbing in the reg drawings. He should have the skills and resources to make calls...

Expidite is the word! I will look at getting it done as soon as I figure out which method to buy in to. I know that there are several treatment types on the market and I'm sure that everyone has their own opinions on each and each method has it PRO's and cons. ...On saying all that do you...

Slugbaby. That worked a treat. Thanks for that - I can't believe it was that easy. Now tell me...is there an easy way to clean the heating elements inside the shower as they must already be caked in scale? Is this I something I can do by taking the unit to pieces and placing the heating...

This must happen all the time but your helpful advice may save me faffing for ages. I have a 8.5KW electric shower - Topaz..from Triton. It was fitted 7 months ago. It worked fine for 6 months but recently the temp goes from hot to cold every two mins. This only happens on the high...

Thanks very much! I had given up the ghost on getting reply.....:-) Planning permission goes into today. Ill be approaching builders in the next few weeks. Ta.

The paying on my account would only apply of course if the builder were asking for money up front to buy materials.

...asking for evidence of liability insurance? I'm looking for a building company/ builder to do an extension for me - cost will be in the region of 45K. In all the books it says to make sure the builder (and any subcontractors he brings in) have liability insurance and they they should be...

Just found: http://www.homeplans4all.co.uk/index.html Cheaper than an individual architect or technologist and they start next week! Thanks for the other ideas...

I live near Kingston upon Thames. I need some drawings for submission to the local authority for a rear and side extension I would like to do. Anyone out there know anyone please? It doesn't have to be an architect or technician as long as you can do drawings to a standard acceptable by...

This pupster: http://www.gahooyoogle.com/search.php?st=Web&q=triton+showers Installation giude is there too for your referance. And now looking at it there IS a picture of a compression fitting (page 9 fig 10) (Doh!) and I have to assume that it is a bog standard one. I thought that there...

Ill get the model off the wife when I call her at lunch.. ta.

Doesn't have a picture... Does say ' use compression fitting' Does say 'dont uses any sealing compound or ptfe'. Will probably give the plumbers merchant a call....

I jhhave just bought a new electric Tritron shower. The water pipe fiting for the cold mains feed is a short plastic tube thing in a recess in the back with a plastic filter in it. It looks around 15mm but I havent checked. It asys to use a complression fitting. Do I just use a normal...
