Sweet, how clever am I! :lol: Cheers,

Cheers for all the replies, has given me some usefull info to get going with. I shall check out the wallboard ten/soundblock stuff. My bedroom is somthing like 24" foot long and the partition wall borders the stairs, i'm moving this back about 1m to create a nicer landing, then creating...

Alrighty, no other circuits at all in the bathroom other than what i actually decide to install. The hot/cold pipes i'm going to extend to the new ensuite run through my downstairs airing cupboard and i can see they are bonded together. I can see that my consumer unit is earthed off my gas...

hmm, just reading up on hepv0's, looks like they are quite low profile to save a few mm and would cover the venting on my branch pipe. anyone got any opinions on them?

the fused plate will be on the outside of the bathroom wall in the landing with the cables run through the studwork. shower is going to be mains pressure hot water so no electrics there, will need to check my ring main and see if it is RCD protected though. if not I could buy an RCD for...

Hi, I'm forming a new ensuite off my room, the room will encompass an already existing velux window. I have easy access to the ring main, so was thinking i could use a junction box to create a spur, put a fused connection unit on the spur, then run a shaver socket and a selv extractor fan...

Hi, I'm building an ensuite off my bedroom. Just wondering the best way to soundproof the wall to minimise "noises" that may travel through? The wall will be about 10cm thick with wood stud work and plasterboard on top (whatever thickness building regs require) Thanks,

Thanks for the reply, Have been using the english regs as reference as the scottish equivalent doesn't mention specifics like falls, it just says comply with the relevant standards. I will be DIY-ing it all but I do intend to notify building control, that's what my research just now is...

Hi, Been planning out an en-suite, my design has evolved based on investigations around my house and have come up with the following. I will have an 8.5m horizontal branch (18mm fall) which runs on top of the joists in the eaves of my house, this will exit the building on the gable and...

I've re read the regulations, looks like i can make a shower room and sink, with the drainage branch, but as soon as I add a wc it's no longer exempt. No problem though as the council lets you email them your plans and they tell you wether you need planning or a warrant. i have an inspection...

Thanks for the replies. I had wondered if this was notifiable but was thinking it wasn't as it was connecting to an exisiting stack. I think even if i did it within the regs it wouldn't be a tidy solution. So, I am now thinking on installing a 2nd stack which will run vertically through...

I'm installing a new shower room on my 1st floor with WC. I have calculated that I will need about a 5m horizontal branch connection to my existing soil stack and that I can get the required 18mm fall per meter. The branch will have a couple of bends on it as it has to go out into the...
