Got him on the phone yday. He explained i could of built on the party wall line, but as its council next door he said theres pretty much no chance they will agree to let me do it even if the occupants dont mind. He said its a shame as it would of been ideal as they dont mind me doing it. He did...

I know mate, i Left him a voicemail today. Waiting for a call back. I just like to hear different opinions.

Hmm, ok. Well guttering is on the front. I think upstands will be on the sides as it will be grp roof. But theres still soffit to account for. I have attached couple pictures. Oh and, we didnt go wider on the side where the toilet is because it limits access to garage at the rear.

Hi guys. Some of you may know from my last posts were currently in the process of extending our kitchen. We did a full plans submission and put in a prior notice. This all passed off no issues. We had our architect do the drawings so the extension was offset by 300mm from our boundary line...

Optional in this case, we had the option when we put in the application. I would asume its a meter ready box though as you say.

That the ones with the water meters built in?

I take it plasson seem pretty well rated too?

Yea i know they will fit one. I am only considering it for ease on my own property. I was thinking they will probably use a tap that will need a tool to shut on and off or something.

Hey bud. I can get pics up tomorrow if needed, nothing has been dug yet though. We are on a shared supply, 3 houses. They explained if all 3 houses were to agree to go back on the same setup, with plastic then it would of been free. But as we are asking to seperate ours, that cost covers the...

Hi guys. Wanted to get more advice on this. We have got the costs back from waterboard and its going to cost £1100 to re connect. Would of been free if it was like for like swapout but as we are going seperate theres a cost. Thats fine. I wanted to ask a little about fittings, im looking to...

Thanks so much guys. Very helpfull! We have old council slabs as a drive so i can lift them and make good after. Will give water board a bell friday.

So, i will give them a call. I think its free hookup but obviously i have to cover the costs on my boundry. I saw a few posts regards to regs for it, so my next quesyion would be can i do the donkey work? It does say to use their list of plumbers on the website but i am asuming thats an...

cheers buddy, I will likely be posting back in this thread at a later date when excavating out for the pipe just for advice once I get at it. one thing I would like to ask actually, can the new mains run go straight into the boiler? with a stopcock before the incoming to the boiler? rather than...

Yes we are doing same. You however are much more in front. We put in the plans 2 weeks ago and payed a fee for enlargment of home. We will be tsking down the old building as soon as we get the all clear. Hopefully next couple weeks. So you opted to join onto it then. How come you went for 20mm...

hi guys as title says, we are in the process of having a kitchen extension built. plans are currently at the council stage, plans have been drawn up by architects and we are looking to knock down the existing extension next. one problem we are going to face is the water supply. the stop cock...

Thats it then. Seems too complicated for me and i doubt id save much when you add up the headaches. Thanks!

A new update on this and could do with a little knoledge. So, we have got a builder we trust to carry out the building work. So i am not getting involved untill the water tight shell is complete. Funding is in place and we are agreed on figures for the building work. Now he does not get...

So the architect has forwarded papers to me detailing procedures and costs that will/can turn up at given times. All seems fine so the plan is to get him started, then i can go from there. Been thinking the whole thing over and just been thinking about the new water supply. Just off the top of...

Im with you on that buddy. I am just holding out to see what this builders price is going to be. I have a feeling from the vibe i got from this builder and architect it will be a realistic price rather than one that seemed a bit pulled out of thin air. Otherwise i will go with the other...

Thanks guys. Had a builder down and he come with a architect, both great guys. Picked their brains and builder was happy for me to go through his architect or use him for the job. The architect spent a while talking about drains and ways to get around things, our sink is going into a storm and...
