(This referrs to a previous subject) Given that I've asked 4 builders for quotes, two turned up and still haven't bothered to quote, or even give me an idea of price, so blx to them, I'm doing it myslef. I am going to use the building regs too. \Its too complicted and too much of a gamble...

me again, sorry, found this which is a .pdf of the policy. It states that the isured are the bank etc. Anyone know any legal jargon? http://www.yorkplace.co.uk/pdf/Ypsis5samplepolicy.pdf

I'm in the same boat. Got PP for my connie and Loft conversion. Built the connie myself so no BC there - but when it came to the loft I'm knackered. All the builders say what about your steel drwgs etc? I have now heard that Norwich Union offer a policy which cover the bank for house...

thanks guys - Its makes sense now! Trip to the local town hall then! ;-( Rob

I needed PP as the house had already been extended beyond the max permissable size. (We've added a conservatory too). Its a bungalow, and the roof space is approx 2.8m at the ridge, 6.5m wide and 11m front to back. Obviously the drwaings were to scale, but no structural specs were stated...

When the plans were drawn and proposed, no-one asked anything about steel sizes, or in fact about the room sizes etc. The drawing I did were fairly basic (by hand and from a degree in auto eng about 10 years ago!). Are there any sites out there that can do the calcs?

I built a shower cube not so long ago and laid it on a bed of moist sand/cement to bed it down. (About 2cm thick). My thinking was that this would be pefrectly level rather than relatying on the floor/joists/boards being "almost" level! I also took off the skirts etc and when installed...

Outstanding info from you guys before, thanks. Here's the next one. Converting the loft. I did the drawings etc and PP has been passed. Does anyone know how to work out the steel size, from width? I assume that the roof tyoe will also need to be taken in to consideration - its concrete...

!!Fantastic- thanks for your help guys! DPC and beoynd - dwarf walls done - it arrives on Wednesday.... Thanks again rob

Have you checked with building regs? I'm sure that a conservatory door (betwen house and connie) is classed as an external door and should be to those reqs. Also, it may effect your household insurance if the doors you fit dont meet their specs either. sorry to be a kill joy.

has this stumped all of you too? never known a thred to be so quiet.......... maybe its the firday afternoon lull?

I'm building a conservatory on the back of the house and some one mentioned cavity trays. Not wanting to sound thick I didn't question their talk. Now I'm stumped. Are Cavity Trays just the stitched in lead falshing between the pitch of the connie roof and the recieving wall? Anyone have nay...
