Hi guys, sorry about the hijack but im looking for some info on ashp, LPG or oil, I have already submitted another thread but no luck there, I'm hoping you guys could offer some help! Thanks Hi, I am just weighing up my options for heating a standard 3 bed 1930's semi. At the moment it...

Luckily I have budgeted for skilled tradesmen, I'm just wondering if people think I'd be better off with an air source heat pump over a standard combi boiler, or LPG to heat the house. and which are easier to and essentially which are cheaper to install for the plumber? It is effectively a...

Thanks for the reply! Definitely not scrimping on anything, just looking into all options and costings involved. Regarding your dislike of the word "cheap", is this not a DIY forum?.....

Jeez, that sounds like a nightmare, was this YOUR house or someone you know?

Hi, I am just weighing up my options for heating a standard 3 bed 1930's semi. At the moment it has no central heating at all and a small wood burner in the lounge. When the extension is finished it will have upstairs; 4 beds (1 in the loft) 2 ensuite shower rooms (1 in the loft) 1...

Oh ok, that's interesting, I didn't actually think of the extra financial implications of adding the subservient over a seamless, I think I need to book in with the architect and get some of his views.

At last someone who agrees with me! I've had this conversation a few times, and I'm of the same same opinion as you, we are the only semi in the road of 8 houses, all the others are big detached ones, and opposite are nothing but fields. So I think we have a good case to put forward...

Haha! Have you been talking to the missus???!!! Many thanks prentice boy, ill post a picture when I've finished it.

Good point! I've found the make and model which is an aga much Wenlock. And they are designed to go through the top! so at least I can track down the flue parts properly. Thanks everyone.

[/url] Brilliant thanks for the reply, our house is on the right, the extension is obviously going out to the right, the extension will be exactly as the original

That's great news thanks!, where would I find a straight coupler? Ebay?

Hi, Our new house has this wood burner in the lounge, it encroaches into the room as you can see, is it correctly fitted? And could I change it so the flue goes straight into the top where the hole is? Will it effect the heat output? Thanks Don't know why the picture is upside...

Hi, I'm about ready to start the extension on our new house, I have noticed there is a tight area where the hall way meets the kitchen, so the kitchen door is right up against the staircase. This is because of the 450mm recess put in by the architect to avoid the terracing effect My...

[/url] Thanks buddy, very useful thread! :D

Hi, I am in the process of redesigning the layout of my house which includes a two story extension. I am moving the bathroom upstairs to the front of the house and at the same time putting the en suite at the front, this I all to take advantage of the fine views out the back. My...

Thanks catlad, the more I think about it, i think your spot on, the loft area will have to be strengthened so the extended part will also have to have sufficient strength. Is building a steel frame the only way to strengthen the loft or can it be done by doubling the joists?

Hi, I have just purchased a 1950's semi with planning agreed for a two story side extension. I'm due to start the work in spring time and I'm trying to get prepared. I have notice there is a huge loft up there that is not being changed in the extension, so I'm considering converting it...
