Is this the general idea you mean Robert, thanks for your help so far..

Floors tend not to be screeded here, usually poured concrete and then a powered concrete finisher to get the finish. Omitted DPM and DPC, it's coming in another drawing :twisted: Point taken about encasing drain will speak to BCO. Underfloor heating is still under consideration, more...

Could someone cast there eyes over this drawing and tell me if I am close to the mark or not! It's for an extension to my house and I cannot get a builder to start it this year in my area. The brown circle is an existing drain and drg states to provide 150mm concrete surround where drain...

That is an option, but we are hoping to pull down the wall where the meter already exists and therefore increase the size of the living room.

Hoping to start on an extension in the spring, planning is through and awaiting building warrant approval. I would like to relocate the CU and meter from it's current location to a new location in the extension at some point. Owing to the cost involved in moving the meter this is not a...

The roof has OSB sarking so can't see the underside of the tiles with out the removal of a tile. Been in touch with the housing association, as it was one of there houses and they are going to look out the original built spec for me. Thanks.

Thanks noseall, Is there a code on the underside of the tiles?

I have planning through for my extension and could do with some help in identifying these roof tiles on my existing roof? (New roof has to match the old roof) I'm thinking they are 50 Double Romans in slate grey, the colour is kinda hard to tell from the photos as the roof is wet. Thanks...

Thanks for the tip on the manuals, found some online manuals and after a bit of googling, it turns out the dc jack is a weak point. So armed with a screwdriver I stripped down the lappie to the motherboard and it is looking like it is the DC jack that is the problem. I'm only getting 8...

My laptop has had enough, It will not turn on or charge the battery. I'm getting 20volts out of the transformer so I think the prob lies within the laptop. Recently the screen would flicker of and on ( the hard drive etc all stayed on though.) It's a Dell Inspiron 4150, any thoughts...

This thread has all the elements of a classic hijack :D Anyhow back to the original post, found a hole in the hot water draw off pipe under the floor (concrete). So most of the heated water was heading south to Auz. I replaced a small section of the pipe which was 3/4" and was insulated...

Oops opened a small can of worms here. Try and answer what you have asked. Primaries are 28mm and do rise up to the tank. Lock shields on both inlent and outlet of rad. No safetyvalve that I could see. Can't give you the in and out temps just now, as the tiler and decorater have...

Sorry for the lack of info, It's on a new fire my parents have had installed with the optional boiler fitted. The radiator is Tee'd from the primary pipes. Just now the radiator is open full bore (15mm) and heats up fine but the DHW takes a while to heat, we were wondering if we closed the...

Should a gravity rad be balanced or not? It's on a solid fuel fire, open vented system with a single gravity rad. Thanks all.

My local supplier sells them with either 44 or 88 to a pallet. (440x215x100).

The sheathing is on the drawing is 9mm ply and I have been quoted £10 a sheet need approx 20 sheets for the external walls not sure how much for the roof yet, going to get a price for sterling board also. The joiner is reccommending ply but there is plenty housing going up using sterling...

Thanks all, Kit is being made on site by the joiner who is on hols at the moment so could'nt ask him, woodyard confirmed it is usually 145 that is sold for this purpose. Rangersman, 145mm appears to be the standard kit for the area I live in (Orkney). Just out of interest I was quoted...

I have recieved a set of plans from my architect to look over before they go to planning, it's a timber frame with 100mm external blockwork and a 50mm cavity. The timber frame is quoted as "150x47 c16 timber framework". What I am wondering is this size of timber planed all round or only...

Thanks for the answers, its a Mira pump rated at 275w, just over 1amp if my sums are correct.

Power shower pump gave up the ghost this morning, went to isolate the supply to the pump prior to removal and could not find a fuse. Tracked the cable and found it spurred into one of the light switches outside the bathroom door. Correct me if I'm wrong, but would the pump not be better...
