Hi all, A bit confused as I have now paid a warranty company for a 10yr structural warranty for the extension that will be started in the summer. As they also offered Building Regulation approval, I also instructed them to do the Building Control element through one of their Approved...

Hi Gazdaz, Did you ever get round to installing this system from Nu-heat? I am looking to retrofit on my concrete slab also and would appreciate any feedback you may have on this system. Were you able to add additional insulation underneath? Thanks, OB

Thanks Cajar! I will replace current dropwire from outside junction box with this one from fleabay then: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/20m-COIL-x-DROPWIRE-No-10-2-Pair-Overhead-External-Telephone-cable-BT-SPEC-/191377598369?pt=UK_Phones_PhoneLeads_RL&hash=item2c8efe67a1 It'll run from the box...

Hi all, Yes, I know the DIYer should not touch BT's property etc. But I need to move the master socket to a new location as it's currently under the window which will soon become te location of the kitchen sink - not ideal. Thus, I need to move the master socket to a new location and quite...

Thanks John D. The static has already got a CH system in there which seems to work fine with the existing pressure via the 'old' tap connection in the house. I think I will go for the 20mm plastic rather than the 25mm simply for the slightly better flexibility. Running down the exterior wall...

15mm tap that will be feeding a static caravan - is that still sufficient?

Blue?? Blue?? I really prefer the white.... :lol: I guess you mean the MDPE 20mm pipe? In which case, what I will now do is to just use that and get an MDPE reducing joiner to connect up to the existing 25mm MDPE pipe round the back of the house. I'll then sort out a permanent tap once the...

Hi, Quick background: Living in a static round the back of house which is now fed from the outside tap at the front of the house. This tap will soon go when building works start out the front. I therefore need to add a new exterior pipe at the rear of the house and since there's no plumbing...

okay, managed to uncover some more insulation and saw a further stamp on the board saying "gyproc" so I think that I'm safe, but not totally sure whether gyproc would contain some asbestos as well. Gyproc dates back to the 40s I think... Better approach it carefully when I started cutting...

I wish my pockets were deep enough for those integrated solar panels. I don't recall the specific cost, but I do recall that they are very expensive and substantially more than standalone panels. Someone correct me if I a wrong! I'd also be looking at solar hot water panels in which case...

Uncovering the insulation in this 1950s bungalow, some of the boards are printed with the manufacturer/make of "Glasgow and Rochester". I have googled them, but find no reference anywhere. As i will be removing some during renovations, just wondering whether anyone knows about these boards...

Thanks for the suggestion. I guess that would also give installers an excuse to break even more tiles if they see the hooks as they know the slates are easier to replace i.e. are less careful on teh roof. I think my best approach would be to install synthetic tiles on this aspect of the roof...

Hi All, I am having an extension done with 35 degree sloped roof which was originally going to be slated. I know Welsh slate is the one to go for, but out of my budget, so I am looking to go for Spanish slate. My biggest concern is that any solar installer will just trample and crack most of...
