Got a reply from planning today, just for anyone else's reference. "The works you are describing would be lawful provided that they comply with the limitations of  permitted development rights, please see: www.planningportal.gov.uk for more information on these. If your proposal does not meet...

hahaha ^ Very comprehensive responses thank you. Oh i see now this may be classed as works coming under Gov. PD. rights. I guess they will check with the address but i don't think any of the exceptions apply but it gives me some confidence its ok. lpasengland, The house is a semi-detached...

Hi all, Does anyone know if planning perm. would be required to change an exterior side alley door from the old kitchen to a window. So brick half up and then get a new window installed. There will be units installed all along this wall, but it will be more of a utilities area. The kitchen has...

Very much appreciated thank you.

Hi, thanks for the reply. Not sure if ive misunderstood you, but its because there will be no wall there Lol. I was hoping to have flush inside walls.. Just continue the wall another 1.4m on the fence side and break into the wall or use a wall starter next to the door. So there would be no walls...

hi, i'm after some advice after a recently built extension. I'm currently filling out the planning form. The bathroom is too small so we wanted to extend it. I have attached 2 pics. I would prefer not to have a cavity wall lintel so the ceiling is flat. So i propose to use a double joist...

I was trying to confirm whether what he told me was bs or not tbh. It was one of your own posts agile that I read advising that this should be set and that most installers don't set the maximum output. I did not fiddle with the options prior to the heat up time changing FYI. Sometimes its...

hey fellas, i've had the latest vaillant 831 installed in march with a salus programmable room stat. The first few days the radiators heated up to 75 degrees in 10 - 12 minutes. But after a few days it seemed to take longer ? the installer says its learning and adjusting :S. pressure is 0.9 bar...

I realise this is 5 yrs on lol. But is there any solid answer to this. I'm putting some of these ideas/interpretations forward to gas safe. Thanks.

bump , does the trunking and weak concrete mix in the channel sound ok then ? The pipe is earthed and will have ventilation on both ends. The pipe in the trunking area has a joint, it is soldiered. What is the main problem here .. The underfloor heating passing electricity onto the gas pipe...

Hi, i emailed gas safe register. The reply is below. I read this in an older thread. Is it strictly a no then ? or is the definition of buried unclear.. 8.16.3 Electrical services Care shall be taken not to damage any electrical conductor when installing pipework. Installation pipes...

Hi Tony, I guess you mean putting it in trunking then filling the channel with the lean mix. I understand that cement can be corrosive to copper. The concrete surface is higher than the trunking. How lean do you think ? a wet sand cement mix.. so it gets underneath the trunking. As long as...

Hi Chris thanks. I've got some pics. Hopefully more info would help.. I could use the plastic square trunking over the pipe(22mm x 3.6m length) and leave one end under the cooker open - 6 inch square area or more if needed - so its just foam. No tiles or metal either. So it would be ventilated...

Hi, Think i posted in the wrong section before.. my gas cooker line has been moved. The pipe is laid into a concrete channel 8-10cm in width and will have more than 25mm in depth from the finishing level. It has a 10mm thick round foam covering on it. My plan is to fit under floor heating and...

hi, I've had a gas safe engineer in to move a cooker gas line. The pipe is laid into a concrete/screed channel 8-10cm in width and will have more than 25mm in depth from the finishing level. It has a 10mm thick round foam covering on it. My plan is to fit under floor heating and then a self...
