sorry didnt notice the link, thanks

no choice really, any idea what sort of pump we need - Sanivite or similar?

We are relocating our kitchen to another room and this is 12" lower. The kitchen sink waste will not be able to drain into the same location and there is nothing close i can drain it to. Is there an option to pump the waste away? The kitchen will be against the garage wall so the waste can go...

HI I have just finished converting an old brick building (never a house or lived in) into accommodation for my elderly mother in law. Its at the base of our garden and not connected to the main house. The main house is listed so this would be included in the boundry. My question is can i...

Hi Just spent a fortune on Oak windows and fixed panels for our project however stuck on what finish to use. i have 2 options 1. Leave them to go silver - do they need some coating for this? 2. Ideally i want to keep them looking "unfinished", dont mind the work to coat them 6 times but want...

cheers, its a one bed 3 room dwelling for an elderly relative so no big use. The floor is brand new and concrete

We have converted an existing small building to a one bed dwelling, we are using a Klargester compact pump to get rid of waste and effluent as its 60m from the mains sewer. I have been told today by the klargester rep that we need a 24 hour storage system as well, the building regs we passed...

Ok thanks

I am getting an oil fired boiler for an annex, it is planned to have underfloor wet heating, i presume I can use a combi boiler with underfloor heating?

Thanks for all the replies but i have to say ive lost the plot a little of what the best option would be - give me a gearbox and ill tell you the ratios in my head but plumbing and heating is not my thing. The main house is heated by oil and i cant get oil to the new property as its too far to...

Thanks very much for the heads up. The restriction was from our neighbours as they are concerned we would sell it as a separate house, so its been quite binding. We are also doing this as there is such high demand for housing with a granny annexe as we know from our own experience, as my wife...

Do you think the LPG route would be better than oil - running costs wise. Ive looked and the boilers are much cheaper than oil? The orangery is separated by bifold doors to keep within the regs.

OK thanks ill have a look to see if i can get a return - its not easy in an old house as im sure you know!

I dont know the heat reqs its with the QS at the moment. The annex will never be rented it was part of the agreement for planning, its 100m from the house and has its own car parking etc and as we are in an area of ONB they wanted some covenants. However, I also have a teenage son and he has...

Hi Another question while im here! I am converting an outbuilding to a granny flat for an elderly relative. Its at the bottom of my garden and not connected to the house. It will have 1 bedroom, one living / dining, kitchen area, shower room and oak orangery. approx 800sqft Underfloor...

Hi I live in an old (1675) house which is basically lots of rooms in a long line, the boiler which is oil fired at one end of the house with a hot water tank above. The hot water can take over 10 minutes to get to the other end of the house. My question is there any way of speeding this up, the...

Hi Im converting a building in my garden to a small house for an elederly relative. No Gas, so will need to heat and get hot water for taps/ shower. Any suggestions for electric boilers and heating? Thinking of underfloor Thanks

yes but its a 6ft by 4ft room at the top of a celler, its only 195cm high and im 190cm tall, so its just a small portion of light needed.

Firstly I have no intention of doing this myself but need to know if its possible before I order the parts and channel the trunking. I'm fitting LED strip lights to the top of a room to replace the downlighter (i have limited headroom) the light existing is in a loop, can I wire up the led...

I am just about to replace our shower from a 9kw mira which has started to leak. We have new cable fitted which is 10mm and at the same time had new earths etc. we have very high water pressure. My question is - is it worth upgrading to a 9.5kw or 10.8kw, is there more flow or is it just...
