Thanks MFL. Yes, the walls are all structural. So I will need to remove two structural(solid bricks) walls, have two steel beams to support first floor and roof structure. Will I also need to increase the ceiling height for some of the seven steps to have a head clearance of 2m. If yes, this...

Thank you for your post, FMT. If it is of any help, below is a plan of similar house. Space between the walls, where the stairs is enclosed, is no more than 80cm

Thank you for replying. Sorry, I do not know how to do a sketched plan. Some more information below. 1. This is a typical, narrow, 2up 2 down, victorian terraced house where the stairs divide two rooms upstairs and downstairs. 2. Staircase/well enclosed between two(structural) walls. Floor to...

If anyone is following this post this issue is now fixed. It seems sparky slept on his job. Incorrect thermostat to boiler wiring. Big Thanks to everyone helping me out.

Hi All, we need to replace old stairs as it is unsafe(fully open risers) and it blocks walkway. Total going for a normal straight stairs is approx 280cm for our floor to floor height(probably 260cm). Our house is very narrow so we cannot have a going of more than 200 - 220cm (+ landing space)...

Update: after some strong communication the contractor came and fixed it. IIUC, loose terminal 4 connection. Removed link, reconnected the receiver, Boiler still ON. Later on I noticed boiler doesn't turn off at all. Raised this with the gas safe certification guy who understood the issue but...

Thank you but this could take a while because I do not know how to open the boiler. I will check the manual.

Yes, we had 3mm above the floorboards earlier and it seemed fine with door levels. Anything more than that may pose a problem.

First: NO I DID NOT DIY. Second: qualified trades person(gas safe + his part p qualified sparky) did it as a part of bigger renovation project. The contractor, recommended to us by a reputed national chain, is now playing tricks ; not answering calls, saying he will come and not coming, sent his...

Very true. Thank you for the well timed advice.

Hi all, yesterday, we got a wireless thermostat installed and have no heating since. Hot water seems OK. Boiler: Vaillant Ecotec Thermostat&receiver: Drayton MiTime T720M I checked the communication between the thermostat and receiver. Signal = Very good. Playing with temp up and down causes...

Thanks.

Thanks.

Thank you 1990. Both ends of the long board(approx 220cm long) long are on joists. Both ends of the short board(approx 40cm long) are also on joists. Two boards are closely fitted next to each other. So, there are no board ends between joists. So I need to add trimmer joists where the boards...

Thanks! What is insulated floating floor. Please tell me more about it.

I use this wireless switch/receiver pair on the lighting circuit - https://www.amazon.co.uk/Acegoo-Wireless-Lights-Switch-Kit-x/dp/B0157MF2ZS/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1482514838&sr=8-1&keywords=wireless+switch There is one cheaper than that, for £15, but I didn't like it's aesthetics much.

Forgot to add in the OP, carpet is not an option because of allergies.

Thank you tomfe. I can spend the holidays without worrying. You have just bough a sigh of relief for me. My room is only 2.6m wide so a single 2.4m sheet covers most of the width. I have no joints in between joists. Only one joint per sheet on the last joist. Sheets are fitted in staggered...
