Not too clear what your doing - This bungalow you have is a semi or detached? The rear extension (3m depth x 3m width) will have a pitched roof over it? this pitched roof must have a lower ridge line than the existing roof line. This 2 storey extension sill have dormers will it? Are you...

Morning all I'm just about to start a job for somebody + would appreciate a bit of advice on something I've not come across before. Client has a house they're wanting to extend to the side, front + rear. Problem is to the side of the house a neighbour's tree canopy is...

Cheers for that Gordongas.......... Was just checking online + it seems that the cheaper option is another mechanical clock, not a digital? http://www.uk-plumbing.com/vaillant-spares-vaillant-clocks-programmers-c-938_852_854.html?zenid=19ab12a7f28efe580036e3a453120d09 Unless you mean...

Afternoon all I've got a Vaillant TurboMAX 828, had it 7yrs now + it's working well......only had to replace a divertor valve + air pressure switch in the time I've had it. But now I'm finding the timer clock on it is slow, eg over 24hrs it seems to loose 3/4 hrs + therefore doesn't show...

Go ask at your local planning office, what ever they say get it in writing.

Looks like a need a lesson on 'how to run a business'....... In summary - when I'm doing private jobs I should be operating with the following conditions? - Operate under a Ltd liabiblty partnership OR as a Ltd Company. Thereby protecting myself if a claim became too excessive for my PI to...

As an example: If I were take out this 'PI run-off' cover from 2010 + pay the policy for 5 yrs till 2015, then if I were to stop paying......what happens if a client makes a claim in 2017 against a design I put together when I was covered in 2012? I'm basically trying to identify if I were...

Fair enough........I have a tendancy to jump the gun sometimes. I just wish all Technicians were as talented as me :wink:

Terms + conditions I can understand: Eg - these dwg's are for purposes of Planning + Building Regulations only, any details / works on site are responsibilty of the client + contractor. It's worthwhile to put any/all disclaimers on the drawing + to get a standard 'Terms and Conditions'...

Excuse my french, but what a load of bo**ocks........I'm an Architectural Technician and have gained many approvals on difficult applications. What's all this influence with the planners? :roll: Is that what Architects do with the extra £££'s they earn? In my exp. if you play by the...

But what error can occur on a planning drawing or even a building regs drawing? As I say I only work on dormers, extensions + occasional house new builds......you put together a drawing representing what the building is going to look like + then a more detailed drawing showing the...

Morning all :wink: I know you technically should have PI; but technically you should also have travel insurance, health insurance + contents insurance because you COULD end up in difficulties. If you worry about what COULD happen in life, the list is endless as to the precautions you take...

All very interesting. I'm a Techy in employment at present....thankfully. I do the odd private job on the side (anything from single storey ext. to new build housing). I don't bother with PI, as once I have got the necessary approvals it's down to the builder to ensure all is done correctly...

Cheers JohnD - the fireplace is still in use, hence the concern of the safety of the upper bedroom occupants. I guess Mr Corgi will check to make sure that, if the vent is serving some kind of ventilation to the flu, it is not leaking + dangerous. Just seems a bit unusual. - the house has...

Mornin all A mate of mine has just bought a new house, it's a late 1800's brick built semi in Yorkshire. Just got a few questions about the vents in the house pls: - Seems to have a vent (in the bedroom above the living room) on the chimney stack wall. Is it venting the actual chimney...
