I did enquire about this and the flue manufacturer informed me that the air gap is a necessity, so the option of a heat sink isn’t possible either.

That's not an option either sadly Ken. What I'd really like to know is can I move the part of the joist adjacent to the flue over by 50mm. We can access the space beneath the roof from above fairly easily by removing as few tiles.

Hi Ken, good evening to you too and thanks for responding. Unfortunately moving any of the walls is not an option now.

I have to create a 75mm air gap between a joist and the twin walled flue which runs from the stove beneath it. The joist sits below a pitched roof which is made from cement fibre tiles in a single storey side extension. This air gap between the joist and flue is currently 25mm. The 1st photo is...

That's really useful Skooby, thanks for your advice. We won't be able to wire the keypad in now and the main panel will be under the stairs, accessible, but tricky to see without contorting myself which leads me to ask how much time you had to spend programming it, as it may be that I need to...

Good to know, I’d read that the Pyronix kit is easier to install. Did you wire in the control panel and have the keypad connected wirelessly? You might have convinced me! What’re the options for getting the app cheaper? Thanks

Thanks for the feedback, that’s good to know. The monthly fee has put me off Pyronix a little though. What made you choose it over the Texecom kit?

Having scoured these forums and various others, I've narrowed down the alarm system I'll be installing to either a Texecom Premier Elite or a Pyronix Enforcer system. We only have the ability to wire in the control box, and whilst I recognise that wired is best, the sensors and keypad must all...

Thanks magiclintel. Our stove is a sub 100c underside one. Sorry I wasn't clear, I wanted to know what the best way to fit the hearth is in relation to the wood floor.

Thanks wobblycogs, any advice is welcome! I did wonder whether sitting the hearth on the wood floor might prevent the floor from being able to expand too.

As our build progresses we have an engineered wood floor to be installed, along with a free standing stove on a slate hearth. At the moment we have the floor screed down. I’ve read and been given conflicting advice as to what we should do in relation to the hearth and so I’d be grateful for the...

Thanks Woody, I'll certainly make sure I check the certification.

Thanks Nakajo, these firms do have verified fire rated pocket doors. Do you have a view as to whether a fire protection door in this position would allow the means of escape requirements in Approved Document B to be met? Thanks again.

Thanks Tony1851. The pocket door will be fire rated, as an ordinary door would be, so it's just a design choice. I'm simply trying to get a better understanding as to whether having any type of fire rated door in this position will allow the requirements in the Fire Safety approve document...

Thanks all for reading this post which I'd mistakenly posted in the stairs forum. We've just had a loft extension completed in our house along with some internal renovation work, the latter of which has opened up the ground floor. The building control officer who visited this week wasn't sure...

Hi, Thanks all for reading this post. We've just had a loft extension completed in our house along with some internal renovation work which has opened up the ground floor. The building control officer who visited this week wasn't sure whether the fire rated pocket door we have (identified by...

Muggles, I looked on the Intergas website today at installers, but a personal recommendation would be preferable. I'm hoping some of the other knowledgeable boiler and unvented cylinder members let me know their thoughts too. Thanks again.

I forgot to add that the expected hot water demand will be 2 10 minute or so showers in the morning, 1 bath in the evening, 1 baby bath in the evening, dishwasher likely to run once per day and washing machine will probably run once per day as lots of sports wear to wash.

I've rechecked the heating requirements using 2 calculators, 1 of which gave a result of 12.9Kw, the other which had more accurate information entered was 10.7Kw. I don't have enough knowledge to know how to incorporate these results into the calculation to determine which boiler we need. Thanks...

Wouldn't we need a system boiler and not a combi, which the Xclusive is, for this system though?
