I'm not with you? The bifold doors lead to outside. There are no doors in the open plan.

Ok, somebody needs to help me and explain how to upload a picture first! I've uploaded to my album but I can't figure out how to get it on this thread?!

Finding a BTU calculator for a regular room is easy, but finding one for an open plan kitchen/living/diner with a 5m bifold door is tricky! Now, let's not go into this too much and ask me all the u values of everything. I don't know them. I just want a rough idea whether the rads I'm on...

My home renovation project.

I have a 15mm difference between floors that I need to level. Trouble is: the lower level is 20m2! It would take approx 25 bags of 20kg level compound @ £28 per bag to do! Would it be best to get the concrete people back in?!

No way! I wan't it perfectly flush ;-) I'm building up the old external wall to the correct level and putting a board across it. Getting it level might be tricky though. Then using self-level screed on the concrete to get it up to the correct level. Does this sound like a plan?

I have an existing suspended wooden floor that needs to be merged into an extension concrete base. The finished product will be an engineered wood floor seemlessly covering both. I am in the process of making sure the sub wood floor is perfectly level using packing pieces under the joists...

Good point! It's facing west so I'll have plenty of wind coming in! I'll just put one of those non-return valves on the pipe.

Good man. It's perfect! I knew the answer was out there.

Can't believe this is such a ballache! I thought loads of people would have a kitchen extract through a roof tile. Horizontal would require the pipe traveling another 3-4m on view (5m+90 bend total). I think the pipe run would be too long and it'd require a lot of ugly boxing in...

I'm having a headache trying to find a ventilation route for an over head extract (kitchen and island are in the middle of the house). A downdraft extractor would be an answer except for the fact my island isn't really big enough to house the fan unit. Is anyone familiar with these units...

I asked my roofer to install a roof tile vent for my kitchen extract. He installed a 100 tile vent which I think would be ok for a bathroom extract but not a kitchen one trying to push 520m3/h of air. Also, I need a vent diameter of 150mm. I don't want to reduce this because there's a 90 bend...

Did you have a price for fitting per square meter? I'd be curious what they are just so I know when I get a price.

Did they mention why it would take longer? I can only assume the edges are more tricky.

Double. Wow. That sucks. Might have to throw the herringbone idea out of the window :'(

I've chosen a 'click' engineered wooden flooring. It's advertised as 'Herringbone' but from the sample piece it looks identical to any other click system flooring I've seen. Question is, would it take a professional considerably longer to fit the flooring in a herringbone style as apposed to...

Ignore this post. How do I delete it?!

I've had my house re-plastered. We knocked off all the damaged plaster and replaced it with dot-and-dab and skim. Due to the extra width of the wall, some plaster now protrudes the door frame by up to 5mm. Any advice on what the best practice is in this situation, other than replacing the...
