Assume a dmev is slightly different because of constant running?

But no harm asking pre planning advice,

Yes full planning consent, building regs state just an extractor but I don't think a normal extractor in duct would be enough. I've seen these so will discuss with builder, neighbour has been an nightmare so don't really want to be speaking with them asking for access over their extension that...

May be worth you asking planning first? we get charged around £25 for pre planning queries / advice, we were recently told by planners conservatories are classed as extensions be it brick or glass. But if you are replacing the existing building and planning on building higher walls they will...

Hi, We are about to have our extension built and will end up with 3 bathrooms without windows as they are in the centre part of the house... so looking at the best way to get them ventilated. Ground floor Shower room 2.7m x 1.2m no external walls or window. Directly above will be an En-suit...

Looking good :) The wardrobe opening you have created how are you finishing the interior? We have planning for a 2 storey extension and looking for ideas on the robes for our what will be master bedroom :)

Why would you not call open reach to come back and sort it?

Boiler will be going in the loft, moving it from a bedroom. there will be a bathroom directly below it, kitchen underneath it then the 2 other shower rooms directly opposite... my thoughts where to use the boiler to feed possibly the bathroom and kitchen directly under the boiler and if we go...

Bit of an update... Had UU come out... nice chap, checked both down stairs, up stairs out the front at the stop cock and came to the conclusion my taps are the problem! well kitchen tap. I have an outside tap ( diy job put in by previous owner) that measured 15lt min at 20m head static. he...

UU our water provider are coming to have a look in a couple of weeks they can give me some advise etc.

evening, so I get at the kitchen sink approx 6l per minute... 6 seconds on full gave me 600ml of water. ideally this should be 10l per min? so there is obviously some bottle neck somewhere, I will get the plumber to test from the stop cock flow there then work out what to do next from that...

Yes 15mm at the stop cock…

Do I do this at the nearest or furthest cold tap…

Yes alcathene, and not sure probably 18mm -20mm

It’s not lead, and house was built 1971… flow rate in the area is notorious for being rubbish, some days it’s worse than others but speak with UU and they say it’s fine and with in their tolerance… all the new builds around us are fine guessing they have new mains…

The boiler is already in? It’s 6 years old. and as the boiler is relatively young not worth utilising it? the pressure issue is the cold feed in it’s rubbish… so any experience with mains pressure boosters? Like...

So finally we have the go ahead for our extension… and I’m after some advice on plumbing! Currently have a 4 bed 1 bath with rubbish pressure on a 32kw combi boiler. it will be a 6 bed 3 bath when extension is done, boiler is only 6 years old so need advice on what to go for. keep boiler and...

I saw the air gap on the top so was unsure if I could lay on top of the rockwool already there. And looking at the data on the hybrid stuff it would still need an air gap so wouldn't be able to lay over the top?

The per sqm price was including new boards, additional 4 x 2 timbers and the 100mm insulation all from Wickes. Loft legs are too high I can only go up 100mm and at that I will be ducking in the loft :(

Hi, i'm in a bit of a quandary... I need to lift the boards and insulate my loft to a better standard, I have these options but unsure which is best The joist are 100mm so not much room for thick rockwool. I can either cross lay more 100mm joist with an extra layer of 100mm rockwool then...
