As part of our new extension I am thinking of getting our main water supply upgraded. The house was built in 1930s and had water meter installed at some point. I did some search on this forum and while I found useful threads about the size of the pipe (32mm, 50mm pipe), I am not clear on the...

For our new extension build, our architect suggested that I also have the option to go with private BC, unsure if that’s better option other than slightly cost effective? Appreciate your views. Cheers

wow - :lol: :lol: :lol:

Yes those are imaginary walls (around kitchen) to calculate the area of the kitchen. At the back of the extension we are planning to have 5.4M opening with bi-fold doors installed, see links below...

Thanks for your input, please see eblow my response. Its the new extension Yes ideally open plan, the wall will be removed We have not decided and we know that somewhere in that space we need to put dining table settee etc cheers

Thanks for the input, slight clarification, the dividing line (appears as wall) actually marks the end of the existing building, this wall will be removed from that point onwards it’s the start of the new extension. We are not sure where to place our dining table and living area (settee/TV) etc?

Come on guys dont tell me that i got it perfect :oops:

thanks rjm2k, i just could not work it out, sorry!

Unsure why the image is not displaying in the post? I have uploaded the image in the image folder but unable to see as part of the post? What have i done wrong!

We are planning to build a new 6x6M2 extension. We need downstairs toilet/shower room and a utility room to house boiler/HW cylinder etc. After several discussions/revisions we finally agreed that this might be the best option for us. I guess its never a best design it just what suits you best...

Ticey I am also in the hunt for an aluminium door but unlike you I am after a bi-fold, similar size to yours. If you make any progress with your selection then please let me know. cheers

unable to comment on your prob, sorry. Wondering if like to share your exprience with bi-fold doors? We are also considering bi-folds for our extension. cheers

Thanks guys for your input much appreciated. Like OP I would agree that I am also in to save money in the long term. I agree with dishman that SP is full of hotly debated opinions and I guess it helps to make an informed odecision one must look at the facts and draw their own conclusion as I...

we are looking at the possibility of getting the Solar Panels installed for heating the water, we are not too keen on FIT payments or whatever its called. It seems they are quite expensive to install but i guess its like a investment you need to make upfront to get rewards later? If anyone...

Thanks mate unsure if i could decrypt Ali bi folds :oops: Right you have a valid point re sealing in rain/wind i thought the bottom of the door runs on some sort of track so does that not help with sealing? Cheers

Guys I am hoping to install bi-fold doors for our new extension. We are planning to have the opening to be around 4.5 meter wide. Can anyone highlight the pros and cons of the idea and perhaps what type of door (UPVC, Aluminium, wood) I should look for? I have seen in the pics where doors are...

Thanks guys for your help, specially Alec1 for posting quite a few posts on the topic. I agree that no one would want to have plumber twiddling his thumb, hence in the above post I highlighted the need to have an inventory. Yes I would like to have UFH (WET) and would want to explore the...

Thanks Alice for your input. I am slightly confused by above, if I were to tell a locally contracted plumber what I want done then I could do that to the builder/his plumber? I thought the objective was to get quality stuff and the only way I could achieve that is by sourcing the stuff by...

Thanks guys for your quick response, felt better that my hunch was right :) . Right if I get the local plumber to do the installation then I how do I go about creating the inventory for the required items?
