Hi JJ, the garden room tank is only 120l and used rarely, so all it needs is a top up. Once hot it would feed the main tank in the house. I would like to avoid any feed back to the grid.

Hello, I just had an electrician in to size a cable to my garden room but he could not answer my question. I'm running SWA cable from the house to my Garden Room, I'm planning on installing Solar Panels on the Garden Room. Both, Garden Room and House will have a hot water cylinder. I was...

Here a quick update. Struktural Engineer wants £1200 to calculate, but that would include walls as well and technical drawings. I got a calculation from a Posi Joist manufacturer near by, 600 center would be £1224, I guess 400 center would work out as £1632 I have now remodeled the shed a...

Hi all, I did go down the planning route to create a warm roof and have 2.4m headroom, waiting for a decision. I have emailed a couple of SE's and waiting for a reply with a price. I also had a look at the posi joists but none of the calculators allow for weight for solar panels. I assume this...

Hi George, thanks for that, I did not consider a steel beam. Building regs is not needed (under 30m2), I had a quick look, this would be 133kg for a 6.4m beam. That is not going to be easy to get in the back of the garden and up the roof. I assume i could then just us 6x2 from the beam as the...

Hello all, I'm in the process of planning a large garden room about 6.4m x 5.6m, the clear span would be 5.4m. Looking at the span table I can't see any timber over 220mm but looking at it I should be fine with 47x250 timber? This will be a warm roof with 18mm plasterboard, joist, 18mm OSB...

Hi, I'm currently in the process of planning a new garden office and workshop in the garden total dimensions are 8m x 4m so fairly big. I look at alternatives to a concrete slap. The ground is slightly sloapy so I think a concrete block base would suit nicely. How do you guys finish off the...

Thank you

Hi woody, I'm set on blocks, as you might see in one of the pictures, they are already there. Thank you for the idea with the timber. This will eliminate any future wall wobble. (y) I'm i ok to have the blocks not perfectly staggered?

Hello, I'm currently trying to move an existing door in my bedroom and have a few questions. The wall is in the second floor, clicker blocks build on floor boards over joists. The wall is not supporting anything. The blocks are 3 inch. I will be fitting 3 inch lightweight blocks. Question 1...

On the timber roof plate. Thanks

Hi all, planning on building a deck for light storage in my loft, the span is about 4.5m without any support. Would 6 x 2 do the job? Thank you.

Does this mean I'm good to go? :)

Hello, Thank you for your answer, the power supply I'm talking about is a MEAN WELL LPV-60-12, which I was planning to connect to 2 rgbw controller's/dimmer's which is controlling 2 led light strips in the kitchen. Thank you.

Hello, as the topic already explains, is there a problem using 2 led controllers on one constant voltage driver? Many thanks.

Thanks :)

Hi all, I got my self a loft box to transfer Radio, DAB and TV to some rooms. In some rooms I require only Radio/Dab, is it sufficient if I just put a single Outlet or do I need to fit a Triplexer outlet? Many Thanks.

Hi Doggit, thanks for the help, I should have said the tanking is done with a membrane fitted onto the brick work and plastered with normal plaster. I could possibly still cut through the membrane and use liquid dpm on the area, that is what has been done to the other sockets in the wall before...

Is that their suggestion? He suggested chasing to the new socket, extend the cables (crimped) and put a new back box and socket in. This is not possible because the walls have been tanked, everything needs to be on the surface and either glued or silicone plugged. Why flex? It can be solid, but...

Hi all, currently debating with my sparky, which way to go. I need to move a current socket about 500mm along the wall in my utility room to be accessible. The socket will be otherwise behind a washing machine. Can we just use a flexi outlet, put the flexi cable along the wall in trunking...
