[/url] Nothing planned at the back, strictly projecting out to the side only. Hoping for something like this - if i understand the constraints correctly, the proposed ext will fall within permitted dev?

Yes it's the original garage, property has never been altered (built early sixties). Would like to project 4.3m with the side ext, and running the depth of the bungalow (10m), giving 40sq metres of living area - with a pitched roof at 90 degrees (ridge of which will be no higher than existing...

...looks like this from the front/road: [/img]

Recently had an offer accepted on a bungalow and assuming sale completes, I would like to erect a 'side extension'. Looking at the planning portal interactive guide, one of the constraints for permitted development of a side extension is that it's width can be 'up to half the width of the...

The site is currently tarmac'd, which is useful (nobody likes working in ankle deep mud for weeks - been there, hated that) and minimises oversite spoil. No, a lorry won't be able to access the trench from all sides - however, from previous experience the concrete spewed out at delivery is...

My mate Vlad tipped me off that the south west of england is the next port of call for our money laundering compatriates - so expect to see property prices double and mega yachts off the coast at lyme regis and exmouth some time soon. :lol:

I did an extension on a building notice a year ago - for the pitched (and hipped) roof structure I called two local truss suppliers for price comparison, they sent a guy out to survey the site and measure up, discuss requirements re soffit depth etc. The supplier provides a detailed plan...

I used cavity closers on a self build project a year or so ago. 100mm cavity, a 2400 length cost around 12 quid. Simply trim it to size then friction fit the closer. I used a few galvanized clout nails to further secure the closer (medium density blocks). I guess a bead of silicone could also...

Planning a sizable extension, essentially a rectangle 5m x 10m. Job is to excavate a trench for foundations, 5m by 10m by 5m, 600 wide and 2m deep (there are some big old tree close by). The fourth side of the rectangle is the existing house. I make that 24 cubic metres of soil, muck away...

...as an alternative 'fix' I had the floors damp proofed with mastic asphalt. This option leveled the floors and prevents rising damp from penetrating the floor surfaces. A certificate was issued with a 25 year guarantee. Mastic asphalt covering won't stop further bulging in the future...

...obviously this is an old post, but I have exactly the same symptoms with my boiler and wireless thermostat (main eco combi paired with salus RT500RF) - the pre heat fires up every 15 mins or so. Did you resolve this problem? Easy fix or faulty kit? Cheers.

...installed a bristan 'fuse' ceiling fed shower yesterday, thermostatic mixer, the shower runs fine performance wise (off a combi) but when testing/inspecting the feeding hot and cold compression fittings for leaks, there is a significant hissing noise eminating fron the hot feed fitting when...

...to clarify, it is best practice to fit an anti-syphon trap to both the bath AND the basin, and in this scenario to introduce a 40mm non-return valve between the tee and the vented stack? Reason I need to get this right is because the local bco wants to see 'drainage' when he comes to sign...

I recently fitted a bath and basin at home, the waste from each converges at a pushfit tee in the bathroom (ie 2 into 1), with one 40mm waste pipe exiting the tee and thru the cavity wall, out to a upvc stack with a bossed connection. A builder saw this the other day and said I should have...

Bathrooom has porcelain tiles (10mm) adhered to an asphalt floor (property recently damp proofed). Toilet has been sited in the bathroom, not sure how I should fix in place, as drilling thru the asphalt will compromise the dpc? Should I silicone the toilet pan onto the tiles and not bother with...

Thats great, thanks! Have a DC-1 here already which fits nicely, and had a 'mental picture' of the corner branch, just didn't know they existed.... ...only potential snagging point is that the osma website prices the corner branch at £145.30 :shock:

1950's property with a ground floor toilet room, approx 9ft by 3ft, with waste connection located in the concrete floor. I can see the flange of a clay pipe down there when toilet is removed. As part of some ongoing work I want to add a toilet to the bathroom which is directly next door to...

is the lead sheet supposed to sit under the tile lath or over it?
