Thanks for that, good idea on fall of vent. Also like the lights idea but will refrain from highlighting the toilet in this instance :)

Have though of an alternative to putting the duct in the void. As much as I don't like boxing things in I could probably make this look like a shelf for TP etc. I have shown the fan unit about 400mm (shown in the green box) from the shower recess but this could go closer to the outside wall...

Am planning a strip light in a storage space which will have a hatch from the main living area. I want to put the switch on the same side as the light ie not in the main living area. What I'd like to do is have a light come on which indicates the light/switch is on as it would be easy to forget...

Thanks for that. Might be struggling to find a fan that will fit in the void but will keep that section in mind. Anyone know if shoving this in the 50mm air gap is against building regs?

Hi All, Am planning the bathroom in a loft conversion. No insulation in yet so have full acces to the rafters. Would like to put an extractor fan above the shower which will be furthest from the window and on the opposite side of the wall from the door. I would duct it the eave/fascia area...

Thanks guys. LED hut say if the roof isn't designed for recessed lights then don't use them, go for surface mounted. I liked the slimline ones but can't seem to find nice surface mounted ones.

Great, thanks for that, sounds interesting. Do you have any names or a link? Presumably there shouldn't be any insulation above the luminaire?

I have clean slate in a mid terrace Victorian loft conversion. Originally I wanted to put in recessed down lights but have since discovered it's not recommended for a cold flat roof with Celotex. I'm considering wall lights only. Has anyone done this or have any examples? The finished ceiling...

Hi all. Am sizing a single radiator for a loft conversion with dormer. Have calculated volume in cu ft, multiplied x 4 and added 10% to give me btu's. The conversion will have a bathroom and a wall for the new stairs. Do I subtract both of these volumes from the main volume in calculating...

I think they're Redland Renown and may have found some near me. Good idea with looking underneath, will do so next opportunity.

Can anyone help me identify this roof tile please. Approx. Dimensions are 418mm x 330mm. Thanks

Then I shall. I was hoping for an unbiased opinion based on someone's experience. Asking my BCO may lead to 'you need x number here there and everywhere, here's the contact details for someone that comes highly recommended' (and of course we'll take our cut).

Yes and yes. A compliance certificate will be issued. I appreciate your concern. Can anyone offer any advice on locations?

Hi All, In planning for a loft conversion I'm putting in an interlinked and mains powered fire detection system. I'm going to run all the wires myself and have an electrician wire up, test etc. I can't find definitive information on how many are required and where. The plan is to use as many...

Electric lights it is then :). Any restriction on running wires through a fire rated wall ?

Thanks for the reply. If I used Georgian wired glass is there a minimum thickness, maximum size and do I need an intumescent seal? Is there a framing requirement? I can't find much information on the subject.

Hi all. Am closing in the ground floor stairs with a stud wall as part of a loft conversion. The wall will be 63mm CLS with 12.5mm PB, skimmed. There will also be a doorway. We will lose some light with the wall so was wondering if glass was acceptable and if so what the requirements are. Many...

Hi all, Am doing some work in the bathroom and decided to insulate the ceiling whilst I'm at it. It's downstairs in a Victorian mid terrace and has a flat roof. Pulled part of it down today and even with the milder temperatures, there was definitely cooler air coming through. Height...
