That's really helpful, thanks.

I did look at the other thread, but if steels will always be required for the columns, then I guess it would make sense to go the full steel gable end. The plan is to get an architect + SE, but I just want to know if the glazed gable is a non starter based on cost. The space is 3m x 3m with an...

Suppose there is the possibility of going the full glulam based frame and just not expose the gable end frame to keep costs lower?

Would you mix and match glulam for the ridge beam and steels for the gable or would the entire thing need to be glulam even though the gable end won't have the frame exposed?

Wow, now that's a project. The scale of ours is more like the last two pictures

Thanks both. That is what I thought.

Hi, I am looking to upgrade our current garden room to have a vaulted roof design using a glulam based ridge beam that will be exposed from the inside. I also like the look of a glazed gable end all the way to the ridge beam with bifolds underneath. Now the better half prefers the slim look...

The supply is 25mm MDPE but come to think of it, the 22mm to the bath will be pointless because the internal cold feed to the unvented is 15mm. The gravity fed tank used to have 22mm from the loft which is now disconnected. I'm not going to increase the flow rate anymore than the 15mm...

Unfortunately a hole is not possible because the joist happens to be in the centre of the house, so it's actually sistered with another of the same size and bolted together, the plans show this too, so it's not a repair job. If I drilled through both joists, I would end up going too far and the...

Hi, I am in the middle of a bathroom refit where we want to put wall mounted taps for the bath and basin. The joists are running parallel to walls where the basin and bath is situated. To facilitate altering the pipework so the pipes can run inside the walls I need to notch the joist closest...

Have you got a part in mind, ideally something I can find at a local plumbers merchant?

It's toilet to couple without a doubt. The push fit into the wall pipe is solid

See attached. Black connector is the original Abacus and the white is the McAlpine. Connection into frame is 90mm push fit. Thanks

Hi. I have recently done a bathroom refit and installed an Abacus wall hung WC frame and toilet. I'm having a problem where the pan connector seems like a poor design and leaks. When connecting to the WC off the wall to test, the seal seems really poor. The abacus comes with a 90deg elbow...

Thanks both. Well I will order the frame and WC Im after and go from there.

Hi, I'm looking to install a wall hung WC in a bathroom refit. Does anyone know if the frames and WC's are universal? I can see on some frame designs that the centres from the waste pipe to the flush pipe are 135mm, and the odd WC diagram also shows the same measurement, but some WC diagrams...

Well the loft space is pretty big actually, so I could simply put the pumped breaker tank at one end and make a faux wall when it comes to the conversion. At least that would be higher in the loft than the ground floor and the conversion to 22mm to the cylinder would be easy, but then we go...

So something like this https://www.screwfix.com/p/polytank-cold-water-coffin-tank-100gallon-uk-1670-x-690-x-580mm/59841? What pump would you recommend for something like this?

Really helpful info, thanks a lot. I guess with the 500L unpressurised tank you'd have more storage vs the accuboost before it runs out since the largest AccuBoost only holds half that I believe.
