Can anyone give me a quick outline off the limitations on size, height, construction etc. The plan is to build a large free standing structure in our large garden. It would be a metre from the neighbours garden and approx 8mt x 4.5mtrs. One side, to the boundary would be full masonary...

Hi, I'm trying to get a bit of advice before planning on how the roof of an proposed extension would work. I don't think I could describe effectivly in words the layout, so is there anyway someone can point me in the direction of something I post up here and show my plan. It's simply the...

Thanks freddie, that pretty much gives me the all clear as i originally thought. miles from the boundary so heyho, Thanks

Hi, Am thinking of building a snooker/hot tub room in the garden. Solid foundation, dwarf brick wall and conservatory type body. What, if any approval needs to be obtained?? The construction would be at least 24ft x 12ft internally and of standard height. I have a generous sized...

My daughter recently had a new kitchen and garage built. We specified plywood directly behind the plasterboard on the walls that would carry the wall units as one of these was studded. Also the garage was built cavity construction but definately had no insulation.

I think you need to be clearer or at least a little more explicit. "Damp" is the term anyonegives to more wet on the inside than the outside :? IE can be condensation, penetrating water/rain or rising damp. All these need addressing seperately/independantly as the cures are very...

Good income, cost £150 for doing that :roll:

No worries :lol: :lol: Side voids do not contravene installation details, gaps filled with rockwell as per suppliers advice, vermiculite to be "fed" around liner before fitting cowl. Just to add the BI attended. Previously he said on the phone, "we don't do many of these and don't have a...

Just picked up on this topic so hope I can dive in without hijacking as we are doing a similar exercise at the moment. Daughter is having a solid fuel insert type fire fitted. Work is being don by SIL with a little help from me. A building notice has been submitted and the 1st inspection...

well at least the last 2 are proper and proffessional replies, cheers guys for sticking up for whats right with your proffession

Design chappy I've used before, previous job needed alarms as staircase rose off kitchen area, (I posted the query on here a year or so ago). In that case they were detailed on the plans. :wink:

Yes of course, but they won't have the upstairs ripped up to run the direct supply, (I did the 1st fix for the sparky and ran the armoured 6mm and the 10mm main earth externally but access is restricted now the project is about finished). I spotted something in the regs about a regularly used...

Hi, Can anyone shed a little light on this :?: Just about putting the finishing touches to my daughters new extension and have a query re the need for smoke detectors after the work that has been done. the facts; Average size 4 bed house on 2 storeys, less than 200sq mtr storey area...

Floor now done in top quality 1/2 wpb ply, now feels much more solid. Tiles are 420 mm sq not 300 Got weber flexible for cement, used it before and like it. All good so far????????????????????????????????????????????????????

Hi chaps. Youngest D just had a new extention and kitchen etc fitted. They now want the floor tiling. Floor is old dining room extended into new kitchen and utility room. 35sq mts in total. Old floor is quality tongued and grooved, extention is green chip, all pretty level. Tiles...

You're right which was my intention as stated above, just couldn't get the definitive answer with ref to regs :wink:

Reposted to generate a new audience on this specific point. If I run a main earth from the consumer unit to the incoming water supply, in 10mm cable clipped above external ground level, does it need to have any extra protection. Ref to any laws please this is within part P Cheers.

Understood. He says it has to be covered, ie in plassy flex conduit, another freind says it doesn't???? bangs head. Bottom line, by the weekend I will have laid this cable, in flex, if no one can determine otherwise, failsafe yeah??, just trying not to waste any pennies.

Thanks, Yes of course, it is all to be certified as the whole thing has been done correctly for building regs and planning. I will assume the electrician has done the check on the gas side. The other issue I have yet to resolve. If as stated I run a 10mm standard single earth from consumer...

Thanks chaps, all of you. Never thought a question like that would start a war but what do I know, :lol: Based on info recieved and with cost in mind the following is the plan. Run 10mm earth externally clipped at DPC level. All of this is down the side off the house and under decking...
