Dear all, I, over the years, inspired by ideas on this forum have taken the plunge and decided to extend my house. Both my children will be going to nearby secondary school, so what was holding us back is pretty much resolved and we do not want to move. The only bug bear is the the section...

For benefit of others in my position. Planning permission will be needed. Confirmed by Planning dept. Relocation of main door is not main issue. The width of passage which is 3ft will be narrower than existing one so that might get challenged when application is made. What will be next step. Is...

The pictures 1st document is existing and 2nd picture I have drawn is proposed. Still early stages not hired architects

Am I right to assume the old porch when coverted into bathroom will need to be flush with existing building. Right now it is few meters out as is a porch permitted under PD.

The 1st image is what the layout was when i purchased house in 2009. Now kitchen does not have door leading from hallway. And kitchen and dining room connected via double french door to create open plan. The reason why i love my location is nearest house at the back is over a mile away. House...

Thanks Fred. The external dimentiins remains unchanged. The room dimensions are same but with amendments to layout. I will be having my parents move with me as I dont trust any carehomes, i am qualified HCP. So idea is to have flexibility to have room dowstairs with wetroom. 2ndly, I have...

What do you think of my home improvement plan Just planning reorganisation of downstairs. Ofcourse will get it done through architects before PP submitted or does it need PP submitted? In summary, 1) I want to covert 2nd door on front with 3ft passage into new front door. 2) Box off...

Slightly confused would appreciate if anyone have personal experience. The building control said no inspection needed. Not sure whether they understood me right on phone. No response to email yet.

I want to avoid moving it away from fence as I want to preserve as much garden space as possible. If I had choice I would build in flush with boundary. But cannot risk agricultural land being converted into housing site in the future when available land to govt runs out. So provided I use...

Hi all, Land behind is agricultural plot. Not listed property nor conservation area or area of outstanding beauty. I want to create a garden office at the bottom of my garden.I will not be having any visitors when used as garden office. Size 6m x 3.5m. Height under 2.5 m flat roof. Not planning...

Just scrapping through barrel of thoughts. 2 sensors face garden with large double glazed windows. I have 2 large jasmine bushes 6 ft tall outside the windows. Will the wind swaying the plants trigger PIR. They might be approximately 6-7 meters away from PIR and 2 meters away from windows.

No worked fine for over 10 years. Unit just stopped working.

No whole kit is brand new. Only thing which is old is wire which runs from panel to wired pirs.

No pets. But now I am getting sinking feeling, he doesn't know what he is doing.

Yes already speaking to local firm. If there is voltage disparity is it just swapping PIR. Is easier solution to bite the loss and replace wired PIR with wireless pir.

No but I can borrow from mate. Is there a YouTube video. What am I looking for. Thanks in advance.

What will be the solution. I must admit I am giving hope with my installer. 1st he wanted to charge me callout fee as its 8 weeks from installation. And on multiple occasions he said he is not electrician. He works for big commercial alarm company and does domestic installation as side job...

These 3 are the incriminating pirs which are going off. I don't recollect installer mentioning voltage. Another person from work was mentioning resistance in wiring. Since it is not new wiring I am not sure whether that is causing issues. Especially when wireless have shown no anomaly. I have 2...

I have brand new enforcer v11 installed with 4 wired pir ( connected to Zem < I presume the white box above panel>via old wiring) and 3 wireless pyronix pir ( upstairs) and wireless pyronix external sounder. The 4 wired PIR downstairs form zone 1. This is what is activated in part alarm at...

One thing which I forgot to mention. Installer used old existing wiring which is around 2004 to connect wired pirs to Zem extender. Will that be were the fault is.
