How the hell would the average person looking to add a PD to their home know to find or even begin to look at this amount of info and in depth as this is wayyyyy beyond me!! I just went on the planning portal and punched in the interactive guide and its says if you are happy that you meet the...

Thanks Steve, and at the same time not thanks!! :( as of course that's not what I wanted to hear :lol: Planning rules are absolutely shocking sometimes and make no sense at all, and this is one of those times. So if I wait until finished and a short time passes I can then have the single...

Thanks Woody/FMT. That's exactly what has happened here as we have bought the place and the gap has been more like a year since any further work has taken place. Couple who we have bought off have had a bad split up and all works stopped. I have had BCO round to check all is ok before we...

No offence taken and thanks for posting as i really do want to learn how to get the best I can from this boiler. Albeit I'm still lost as to what to do here haha. I will let you know the model number though when I can, I did try and look on the control panel itself but couldn't see any...

And it's all so quiet :roll: FMT any ideas??

Arghhhhh haha! Will have to check when im back there this week, but I checked outside the house and there is no outdoors weather sensor so looks even more like the inside unit is not a weather compensator? But are you saying we should be able to change the heating curve in the model we have? I...

Thanks Tony, just trying to get my head round what you have said haha. Freddy, Just slightly on the right you can see the side of the double storey side extension that the single storey extension will share a wall with, in the picture is what I am looking at putting a mono pitch room on and...

Just looked again and cannot see any mention of this though on the planning portal website?? So if it doesn't say it here on the site which is providing the most upto date information, then how are people suppose to know about the rule you have pointed out?? Planning Permission An...

Yep it will be joined by 1 wall :cry: there goes that idea!! Although we won't be knocking through if that makes any difference? But assume it won't! God they think of every way to possibly make things difficult for you haha. Thanks for the reply Tony

Currently have planning for double storey extension and conservatory is also on the planning application to. At first fix on extension and BCO checked everything and happy up to pre plaster which is where we are now,conservatory has had same depth foundations as the extension sits on and BCO...

Update; been round and followed valliant instructions and can confirm that it does not have a weather compensator it's just a wireless programable thermostat (the control panel is identical in looks to the wether compensator panel). Went through the instruction and no option to set heating curve...

Very kind gesture and only wish I was nearer! I agree with what you say about learning bits yourself as I'm looking to do the same with the plasterer, I'm taking time off work to help board out the rooms and help with the skim, knocking up mixes, cutting boards etc....anything I can pick up...

Haha, fair enough and appreciate what you are saying, but honestly we are on the bones of our arses with the work needed to be done on this house and holidays for us will be a thing of the past for a while as once our money runs out we know we will still have a fair bit to do and that means back...

OR it could just be that a real friend who you have grown up with just wants to simply help a mate out with their first house knowing how expensive things can be, and at the same time is getting some work out of it albeit less than they would charge on a normal job but still enough to make money...

Thanks for all your feedback guys, I think that generally you are all saying I have a decent price for the works involved. And as my pocket is key to getting the work finished for as little as possible and I know from other people now that his work is sound, that's good enough for me :D Don't...

What is the cost difference though? And also sounds like its a lot more labour intensive? Or not?

Would like to but will this not cost a lot more? On a very tight budget and have a number of rooms to do at first fix.

Hi, may be a quick one here, have a number of walls ready for dot and dab to blockwork. What's the min we can get away with in terms of loss of size in each room as some rooms we are really worried about losing valuable cm/inches.

Thanks Armo74, kind of answer I was hoping for and I do appreciate its very hard to say without seeing the job, but as a rough guide from the list above you get a general idea. Would like to use him as he is someone we know and and also willingh to do the work around our timeframe and also this...
