Two vents not that big, would count bricks but it's raining. I couldn't agree more. Cheers I am thinking know. (won't know till I can get up there and have a look) I may be able to re tile the hole from the inside, I won't be able to felt but then what's the point 60% of the roof is...

Problem with that is that other than a ladder I don't have the equipment to work on the roof safely. I have worked on other roofs but not this old and with this type of tile. I can see where you're going on the proper repair. I will get a quote for scaffold but I can only assume it's not...

Hi Chaps. My property has a chimney that is part removed on the ground floor. I need to fully remove the Chimney to make BC happy. The Chimney is in the part of that roof that is original house and does not have any felt. I have a plan for later in the year when the weather is better to felt...

Cheers for the feedback Geps, I'll look into those

Ah yeah. Really don't like the idea of over boarding. That's the reason I will never buy a new house. I think I'll be ok though. All bedrooms are getting two cat5e's, 4 in the smallest one which will be a study, 6 in the living room, 2 in the kitchen and 4 in the dining room where all services...

Oh and as for the extension. The house already has a conservatory but I wasn't going to bother networking that, not a very useful room. For the extension I be running pipe work for hot and cold and heating and ending them on the wall to be built on. I will also run a 60A feed for the garage...

Cheers Coljack I have certainly got a big plan for the network, Hopefully I'll get all the points in the right place. I had thought of conduit but wanted to make sure there isn't a maximum depth you can chase a wall out. Everything shall be run from the attic with NAS and a media center...

So currently I am trying to get a plan for the heating system. I have a combi boiler installed with a seperate on of timer and no stat. There are also no rad stats installed. I was considering radstats as well as a two zone system (up and down). I would like to replace the timer with a 2...

HI chaps. OK I have now bought my first house and so I am starting a project thread here to make use of this excellent knowledge base and to hopefully be a help to others to learn from what I am doing and the countless mistakes I will probably make. I will attempt to keep this first post...

OK to update this. I spoke to Building Control today and they were very helpful. The basics are. The main extension was build before BC Certificates existed so that planning is enough. Porch and conservatory are not an issue and even though the porch is of the same construction as the...

Cheers for that. And good mention on the stainless thing. Don't do much in stainless but it's good to know.

Sweet cheers guys. I had though about ringing BC tomorrow so will do that. What are you're thoughts on the Chimney? Do I need planning to remove the stack? Planning portal doesn't say. I'm guessing the best solution is to get planning if needed and remove the lot and then get BC in and...

Cheers Freddyetc The Porch, conservatory was added in 1994 The main extension I'm not so sure about but the planning was approved 1985 What do you think about finding out where this wall used to be? How would I go about finding that out? I will be pulling quite a bit of the house apart...

The house I'm looking at buying has a porch and conservatory of the same construction, brick then UPC windows and the a type of roof I've not come across before. The roof is constructed of 2" or 3" square plastic box beams that interlock to form the glazing of the roof and are also self...

Ah Cheers. OK any one know anything about how good the Rage saws are then?

Cheers for the reply The survey I had done was a home buyers. The only survey better would only have added more photo's. and them checking taps and sockets. I'm a little disappointed with the survey. I am in contact with the seller directly and went round to check some of the issues he had...

Ah so that would be a vote don't buy then. Cheers What did they die of?

Has anyone got any experience of the SIP Ultimate Saw? I really want a mitre saw that can cut metal and on paper it seams better than the Rage equivalent. I can't find any reviews though or anyone that has it on the shelf.

HI Chaps. I'm new hear but have been doing a lot of reading and I now need some help. I'm looking at buying my first house. I have got quite far in the process but am stalling on the fact that the house has been extended but these works do not have building certificates. I have copies of...
