Just about to fitted a Baxi DuoTec 24 condensing boiler which does not have the availability of a swap over to a wired receiver/wireless thermostat. It can be bought as a accessory but can`t just unplug existing control and replace with new. So question is if I`ve got to buy and hard wire a...

Any one any idea how long a 1200mu black "Visqueen" damp proof or radon membrane is supposed to last underground?

I`m afraid I find your reference to "our" Duoplank slightly confusing. The implication is that you actually manufacture the product? (The reason for the stability and durability of DuoPlank® is its unique structure. A 15mm water resistant plywood lower layer together with a 5.9 mm solid...

Thanks "woodyoulike"for your comment however the glueing down of the wood floor does contradict much of the research carried out so far ESPECIALLY on anhydrite screeds which is what we`ve got. I have a leaning towards Heatflow from Duralay but because of its extremely high cost am researching...

What underlay would you recommend to go under an 21mm oak engineered wood floor as a vapour barrier and with some acoustic qualities. Floor to be floated over an anhydrite screed with wet underfloor heating. Regards JD

I agree with Goldberg regarding freezing and regulations. I did not really explain myself properly and should have expanded on the aspect of building the new entry point in.

You could look at this from a different angle. The alkathene pipe ( nowadays blue but older was black) will come into the house POSSIBLY if luck directly under the house wall in line with the stopcock you refer to. It would normally be between 600 and 750mm below ground. So another potential...

Reference the link try this one- http://www.acv-uk.com/frc.htm Regarding the towel rails they are not as yet fully connected to the system. Purely a "flow" and "Return" to the boiler location. Its trying to decide on a control system really. As each ensuite obviously has underfloor heating...

Did think of just using two port valves (S Plan?) but as Uponor system is the latest wireless system and its the first time I`ve used it trying to make it as simple as possible for this old brain. What about a humidistat on the towel rails. Anything on the market?

Will post this in both plumbing and electrical sections. Hopefully to get suggestions. System is unvented boiler with a ACV (type of thermal store-see http://www.acv-uk.com/sle.htm) plus two manifolds of underfloor heating ( this is not really important as both will be calling for heat as and...

Thanks Bob. Very helpful

What is the best-safest - type of smoke alarm please. Optical or ionisation. They will be hard wired Thanks

There are two reasons for me eventually wanting a pellet boiler. Firstly as the couple of models I`m interested in are totally automatic including filling from a pellet -store-ash emptied once or twice a year to garden. So from a bone idle point of view I can sit back and enjoy and as I age...

Whilst I must thank those who have taken the time to reply I must confess I question that those making both churlish and I believe unnecessary remarks should be listened to. Regarding property. It has a total floor area of a fraction over 240 sq mtrs. Every consideration architecturally has...

Having read the following remark repeatedly when "trawling" through the various threads- "the more you read the more confused you get" I`d like to clarify by asking the following-hopefully giving suffcient information to allow a constructive view. I`m building a large four bed house with four...

Thanks for all your good advice- its appreciated. Regards JD

Thanks Mike thought as much. Is there a "rule of thumb" as to the extent of 22mm pipe I should use. Would for example 22mm pipe from supply in to house to 50% of the building with 15mm spurs to individual take off points or would you suggest taking the 22m to the end of the service needs...

I`m in the process of installing the plumbing to quite a big new house (240sq mtrs and self build) and would like views on internal pipe sizes. The house has under floor heating upstairs and down. Four ensuite showers one with bath. Vented oil boiler (may change later to solid fuel-pellets but...
