Well i have never had decent hot pressure anywhere i have lived, currently have a 1.5bar shower pump which while it gives a better shower than the electric ones i have had in the past its by no means powerful . the downstairs shower is gravity fed and is quite comparable to an electric but how...

What is a suitable drain ? can i go to the rainwater drain or does it need to go to the sewer ? I have a cast iron external soil pipe if that makes any difference ? There is a chance that i could have it in a cupboard which will be build on the landing in place of the chimney breast once its...

What is involved in the discharge pipework and is it required for.both a combi and unvented ( or just any unvented system ) ? For example can it be routed to the loft and out the gable wall? I say this is its an end of terrace and the stairs are on the party side slap bang in the middle of the...

Thanks for the reply mate much appreciated , I think the space is the most appealing to a combi by I understand thier limitations.... But didn't think about the larger gas supply. So can you have the unvented cylinder in the loft then ? If so does that introduce any further issues ? Lagging...

Guys, I know this has probably been done to death but i cant seem to nail this down. Just to give you some background, i am not a plumber obviously but have read as much as i can to help myself. I currently have a conventional Gravity fed system with a Baxi back-boiler, I recently had an...

Freddy - I will post some later when I get home, it looks very neat to me. Its been cut nicely and fitted with small V shaped springs and then what looks like lead coloured silicon sealed in the gap. It rained here quite hard last night and no leaks this morning .

Its a warm deck system using 126mm celotex with the integrated ply. I'm hoping that means no venting ? The sofits have not been fitted yet. Today all the bits where it meets the wall were leaded ,

no cap sheet, skylight is being fitted now.............!!!! I will chat to builder later, he was gone as were roofers by the time i was home, How many layers should there be, should the base be fitted with clout nails as i found an empty box of them.....?

Sorry double post

Good idea deluks, I will try that. My main concern was the the bitumen looked as if it will trap the water on the roof.

Sorry 140mm dam the smartphone :-).....and me for not checking . I have had a good look and it looks a very average job at best, its just not nice on the eye, but my main concern is it being waterproof. If the light hole was leaded wouldn't be OK at 100mm ?

Thanks for the reply, that's the system ......chips are to go on, it just looks to me a little like water will be trapped by the bitumin, is this finish normal ? I measured the upstand and it is 100 mm at the at the back and 14 mm at the front, this is due to the firrings I assume. Is this...

Just having some roof work done......I am not a roofer but to me it doenst look quite right. Any advise would be really appreciated . [/URL][/img] [/URL][/img] The builder has said there will be stone on at the end of the job. If this is Normal then i guess that's good but to me...

hi all, to cut a long story short i have a leak on the plastic joint between the water meter and my lead service pipe. I want to get an idea of who is responsible for fixing this, i had to dig it up as the affinity guys who turned up just opened the meter cover and said "nah mate not...

single story sounds good :D Its kind of made my mind up that 2 stories is probably more that i want to go

thats is red herring, exactly what i was thinking but not explaining too well. i didnt think of that.....supporting the roof back inside the house. I have been told that none of the upstairs walls support the roof and that when the house was build the upstairs is plaster boarded first then...

I'm not sure I understand that ...... :D If I was to extended it would be the rear width of the house, my windows butt upto the soffets with just one course of bricks between them. If the roof matched the existing should I not have a low walkway between the new and old,as in inside...

Hi, I have done some searching but cant find much info. I have a 2 bed end of terrace house build in the mid 50's, i currently have an AWFUL conservatory that is freezing....i am planning to replace it with an extension at some point. I have been thinking that as the house has what i...
