Great advice. Thanks Tony. Just had a good read and: Siting The total area of ground covered by outbuildings cannot exceed 50% of the total area of the curtilage Outbuildings cannot be located in front of the building line of the principal elevation Outbuildings cannot extend...

Yes, that is correct. Or for arguments sake, could be made into two single buildings, if that helps with the planning rules.

I have searched trust me, but can't find the answer. I want to build a single garage/workshop at the rear of an existing detached double concrete slab, pitch roofed garage. The current garage measures 6M x 4.5M and I want to add a 6M x 3M garage directly attached to the rear of this one...

Doh !!! Thanks. Maybe a stupid question, but bear with me. How do I close off a TRV ? Do I just turn it right down to zero ?

I have searched but cannot find a solution. WORCESTER GREENSTAR 24i Junior Usual thing...Recently moved in, drained CH to remove a rad in an upstairs bedroom to decorate. Now there is no hot water ? The rad is still off the wall and the valves are still open, so there is zero CH...

Thanks for all your advise guys. Credit to the forum community. I don't think he will be fitting an Ideal now. I will look into it in more detail. Thanks again to you all.

Thanks for all the info guys. Dan. I asked if it was made in Britain, not as a "good" point mate !!! British engineering doesn't exactly fill me with confidence, I have to be honest !!! And I am an engineer !!! I would prefer German engineering. I guess Worcester Bosch are German ...

Is that because of installation issues, or reliability issues with the Ideal ? Is Ideal a British make ?

Thanks mate, it's going to be inside a prebuilt kitchen cupboard (600 mm x 550 mm), so it would need to go in that ! Never heard of "Atag", but that doesn't mean anything TBH !! Thanks again, I will look into it.

Just had a local gas fitter round to quote for some work. I am not up to speed with boilers. He is offering to fit a "Ideal 35kW Condensing Boiler", I'm not too fussed about the cost, I think the price he has given seems a fair one to me. But I am more concerned that he is insisting this is...

OK, from lots of reading on here and other sites. It sounds like this might be a heat exchanger scaled up ?? Does anyone agree ? I am in a soft water area. Would that be a sensible place to start and is it something I can fix myself ?

Hi, Hopefully this is a simple one to diagnose for you boiler engineers. When I run the hot water, the boiler fires up as normal and the water runs hot initially. But after about 30seconds the boiler stops (as in the flames go out!) in the chamber. The tap then slowly gets colder and...

LOL, yes. But that is someone elses account at my house !!! They must have been on here last and stayed logged on !! I need to watch out for that. Wouldn't have thought you could answer someone elses post though !!!!

Yeh, I think so anyway !!! Tapered end facing into the fitting. I think it's just a badly fitting joint, gonna pick up another one today from Plumbcentre and try that one.

Fitted a pedastal sink and pedastal trap, but the damn thing is leaking badly. Not the usual top bit at the sink (I have sealed that well), but the compression fitting at the bottom of the trap. I don't think I have done anything silly, so do you think it is just a poor quality fitment ...

LOL. Yes good point. The house will be a rental so FCU it is !!!

Great, thanks. Trying to get a list together of stuff needed for kitchen rewire.

Hello again, Boiler ?? Switched FCU or plug/socket ?

Hi, Do I need to have seperate points of isolation for built in fridges, etc. i.e a socket below with a seperate switch above ? Or can it just be on an unswitched socket (below). Thanks

Hi again Chuckles, Is the blockage on your property ? I would hire/loan some drainage rods, get a rough idea where the blockage is and providing I never had to go through anything too destructive, get out a shovel and dig down to the pipe to investigate. Is this a realistic solution or...
