so that is to extend it? but when you only need such a small extension it looks bad going up, left then up again... so to extend is only way? What about a flexible pipe, they all seem big, can u get small ones?

Ok, I messed up.... I did the pipe work for a 1000mm x 600mm radiator a few months ago, but when I measured it up by putting on the valves etc I neglected to put the extended bit on the TRV which comes out of the side, this has made me around 60mm short on the pipe work which is now fixed in...

It really isn't necessary to fit one with a higher output, the higher the output the larger they seem to be and more expensive. As is an extension, they are so well insulated that in my opinion it wasn't necessary. Thanks for the advice!

But it a new build extension... also if anything the output is under what is actually required for the room size??

so building regs etc only make you put on radiators not towel heaters even though this is the main source of heat in the room?

only reason is they look unsightly on the design I have, and as the room is small and this is a 1.5 Metre by 1 Metre I am sure it will be enough to heat room, but if not i would leave it on all the time so wouldn't want a TRV. So would I have to by Building regs?

HI, Just built an extension and have an en-suite, in it I am putting a fairly large towel chrome towel rail which will be more than enough to heat the room, anyhow the question is will building control expect a thermostat on it or not? There is no other radiator in the en-suite and this...

they were happy with me doing first fix, as they sent out a guy from local council to check it and that was fine, it was just with signing off they said I would need to get signature of guy who did it. I didn't know this until they told me this bit. Worst case I guess is pay for an...

Thanks Artic, you can see where I am at. basically the guy who did second fix doesn't want his name against work as he is bankrupt etc, anyhow if I put my name as the person who did it, will they buy that? or if I said me and a mate did it? I still don't see why they need names etc when...

After Ban-All-Sheds excellent advice I did the following on my recent extensions: First fix done by myself Second fix done by a freindly ex electricain cash in hand. My problem is that the council agreed to send round someone on first fix to test and it passed, then they say they have to...

Hi Ban-all-sheds I have used your excellent info to get my BC to agree to allow myself and friend (ex-electrician) to do the work on extension. Anyhow we have done all the first fix now, when I phoned them and they have said they want to send out a contractor to check our work (cabling...

there is another branch below yes that is about 2 inches below the system, it is the bath soil pipe and this is solvent, but cannot see further down but guess this is solvent too. If I cut the bottom of the system off it seems to measure 14" whereas a 110mm pipe is less, I was thinking...

Hi Chris thanks for quick reply, I agree think it maybe solvent as totally different than other push fit bits. Trouble is my bath is in there all tiled in the lot, hence why we broke through wall from extension, and floor boards will prevent enough access for hand saw. Will solvent not...

Thats great thanks, I thought top and soil were push fit, but still unsure of the bottom pipe, I enclose another pic. If bottom isn't push and is solvent is this a normal thing? If it is solvent how will I ever get it off?, I have very limited space and cannot dig deep into the floor from...

I enclose a photo of our current waste system which has 110mm Grey Marley Soil Waste and simply runs one toilet into it, what I intend to do is to get this out and put a T-branch of the same dimensions so I can run another soil pipe from next door into the extension I have just had built, this...

yes part of the copper has one elbow on it, but the other room will have all plastic pipe which I will find some sleeve but not sure where from as Screwfix or B&Q have any.

yes know how to search, but just asking simply what you use to sleeve it, thats what forums are for!

hot and cold water flow and return from rad's

Ok with regard to burying copper pipe, what should you cover it with, people say sleeve but what type can you buy it and where???

i am on about just fitting actual pipe under screed, not fittings, just pipe to take to other end of kitchen
