So even if I use it for access to a regulated loft conversion then they cannot say anything? Great! By the way, £800+ for regs. for a loft conversion according to Wycombe DC website if I've read it correctly - that is ridiculous! Does anyone know how I can tell if the raised timber floor...

This is handy to know if they can't pull me up for it - access to the loft conversion would be via some steps in this unregulated garage conversion which is now my office though so no amount of mooching would be required to notice it!

Thanks regsmyth - I was intending to fit the above grill to the soffit, yes, if that's what you mean? The other bit is just a ring that looked like it would do the job to attach the ducting on the inside of the soffit. From the ground it looks like the grill I've got should fit fine, maybe...

Thanks Kingandy2nd - Soffit, I will remember that. It is indeed accessible and has two small overflow pipes from the water tanks already poking out of it. As for working at height - I think I'll ask a ladder pro. to do this for me as I need to borrow a ladder anyway so I'll get e.g. the...

Just to add, these are the bits I intend to use to 'vent' it out of the Fascia, hopefully no one will advise otherwise:

Quick question (I hope) as I'm looking to correct the poor job by my cowboy plumber. Currently the extractor fan from my bathroom is in the corner of the loft and the plumber has trailed a long foil ducting to an old boiler flue (sp?) in the middle of the loft. Clearly a bodge job as the...

^^ that's the one I have. Door chime is a good feature unless you have a neurotic Cocker Spaniel who barks the house down every time someone goes in/out the door! Only entry/exit doors can be set to chime too I believe; shouldn't be an issue though as presumably you'd only want your front...

Not sure when it was done; within the last 10 years I'd say. I want to make it official as I'm thinking of converting the loft above and I presume the BCO will notice the office as he inspects the loft (if I do that officially and don't just decide to use it for light storage!)

I have a wireless Yale with 3 door sensors, 2 PIR, one siren and one dummy box. It has an auto dialler to ring my mobile when it goes off too. Fitted it myself with ease (I'm a DIY novice) Works really well, no false alarms, works when it should though! I got it from Ironmongery direct...

An alternative to PoE would be to just run 'shotgun' cable for power and video from the DVR to camera. This way you can use a e.g. 5-way power splitter on one adapter at the DVR therefore meaning still no additional power sockets needed :D My DVR came with a 5-way 12v splitter in the box...

Hi All, Sorry to ask for help as my first post! I will try and keep it short. In a nutshell new house (not new build) and it's got an unofficial conversion of the back half of the garage. I want to make this official by applying for retrospective building regs. First logical step here is...
