I did ask him why some of the sizes are odd. Like 50mm width not nominal sizes like 47mm. He said its the software. So just to touch on the downlight issue. I take it the issue is the mineral wool is in the way, and once its cut free and clear of the spots, we now have cold spots? Or is it the...

I wonder if its worth asking my pointed bco? Best of it is i have paid for this design, and also got the superfoil stuff already and that was £400. Nuts Can anyone see a reason as to why the flitch beam would be 2x 195mmx50mm when trimmers t1 and t2 are 200? Is it just me or does that seem odd?

All information i am seeing suggests 3m max height to top of the roof from ground level where it meets the house. We are building with 2m of boundary

Hi guys thanks for the replys. I thought i was just being thick but yes i agree it should of been a warm roof to keep it simple. If i were to use pir in certain areas im not sure il get it past bc due to u value? I guess id need to work out how much to sell it to bco. Downlighters is something...

been trying to find an example of what i mean. found this picture on google and edited it with good old paint!! this is the same style timer frame i imagine it to be only thing i can think is not taking the 50mm batten's right up to the skylight upstand frame. maybe leave them 50mm short...

hi guys we got our groundwork/drainage passed this weekend so iv been looking at the roof, i know how do you go from ground to roof? im always looking wayyyy ahead. im miffed by the drawing my architect has come up with for my extension. We have plans for a flat roof with EPDM covering and a...

just reporting back. BCO has been, drainage and footing all passed. i did change my layout before he came and shifted the IC to use the side entry's and took off a 45deg bend on the outlet. scrapping the use of the rear entry and he was happy. pipework up the drive has been left alone till we...

Its a fair point and one i was a bit worried about but i thought as it was by the chamber it would be passable. They need to pass the footings off so i can get advice then. I did have a play with the angles the other day but something always got in the way. That boundary box! I think if...

I should of said also, theres one possible issue with the route you have said hugh, Theres a water main crossing the drive from our neibours side, my worry was that i wont get the fall into the chamber due to this pipe. Admittedly i have not checked to be exactly sure. But i know theres a...

Hi hugh. I fully agree i should have taken it that way looking at it from what you have said. I know what iv opted to do here isnt the best route. But it saves me digging my drive up as its shared and since the clay didnt break iv opted to go this route, i hope it dont bite me in the a** i could...

A little oversight. I didnt realise you could not use a side entry into a chamber if the rear entry point of the invert level was not in use for the main run. As i have it in the picture, both toilets are branched into a side entry. Going to have another look today. If i can rotate my base i...

Added a few pictures. I managed to remove the old inspection chamber today without cracking the old pipes. So its took me by suprise as i thought i was going to have to replace the lot. The pipe coming in from the side of the house at the right has a slow sweep bend from my upstairs svp that...

Cheers 23vc Il knock something up and take some pictures. Sink waste will need to go out into the stack so i would say an internal aav would be required. But just checking

Hi guys. Had a good week getting the groundwork going on the kitchen extension. We have dug footings, minus removal of a manhole that currently in the way, that leads me to my question! Spoke to BCO and hes give me the go ahead to crack on with drainage so he can inspect both at same time. So...

Haha, ye it works. Plus our line has been changed so its only everyone else that will lose water :LOL::LOL:

Got it guys thanks. I can carry on with the footings that are marked out then. Just a week to go and the digger man will be here. Cant wait now

Yea i hear ya. I was more concerned with how it looked but in the grand scheme of things its not the end of the world if i got it in the right place. Iv cut concrete blocks when i did my garage no problem :mrgreen:

Thanks for the quick replys guys. Sorry stuart, how do you mean? I dont follow sorry to be dumb! As for checking bricks, i cany do that as they are being delivered a day after the dig with the rest of my drainage stuff. No doubt your right tjough i bet theres quite a bit of leeway. Im...

so iv been looking at the footing detail and spotted a problem as i was pondering over it today. i think this is more of my OCD kicking in here over actually being a problem but here goes. my footing dimensions are marked out to take the "exterior" dimensions of 4660mm Width, with a projection...

Yes i agree i checked up on this as i was concerned they might force the soak away. But i have checked and as we are already a combined system its fine and we are not changing much of the system just renewing it all.
