Concerning heat loss, I like to think I have done practically all I can. Please see below for summary. In zone A, by the by windows the external facing wall is insulated internally 60mm celotex + 25mm insulated plasterboard to overboard it. In zone B, external facing walls insulated similar...

Does that mean that you set it to 19 deg, all day ? So the stats will tell the boiler when to come on/off ? Do you have any off period, I set mine to 19 deg when I know I will be in the room but 15deg during off periods. Its just that currently its not set to 19 deg all day.

Thanks for the response, I have now fixed the issue with the last picture now displaying properly. When you say that the UFH isnt supposed to be turned on/off. I get what you are saying, but what am i supposed to do in a case like this, spending £300 a month heating a house is not practical. Our...

I will remove the fan completely to work out what I need. Thanks very much once more.

Hi All. WE have got underfloor heating on the entire groundfloor of the house, it was done to building regulations spec that is the insulation which if i remember is 100mm celotex, and a screed of 70mm + tiling. The problem now is that it cost a fortune in gas to heat the space, there are 4...

Thanks JohnD, the fan is a Blauberg 150mm Timer fan, from what I remember it was stepped from 150mm - 125 - 100m for the pipe on the roof or from 150 dow to 100mm, I will remove it to find out. As I do not want to cut the pipe from the roof, I will have to do it all internally, I will take the...

Hi, During the construction of my extension, i specified that I wanted a ceiling extractor fan, whilst this sounded like a good idea at the time, I am starting to have second thoughts ? You may ask why ? Everytime the extractor fan lets in cold air even when its not on, what I expected was...

The reason why I had the planter there was precisely for the reason you mentioned (by having a planter there and filling it up, it reduces the change in levels to below 600mm.), but nope BC are sticking to the its over 600mm to the grass line. So hence all this hassle. The bolted stainless steel...

Thanks for this, I was just about to order it but decided to call building control to ask first, then it turns out that building control are no longer taking questions. I then turned onto google, and it turns out that for it to be building control compliant, the spacing between the crossbars...

Thanks. Do I need caulk or not ?

Hi All. I will like to know how to fix wonky ceiling/wall corners like the one pictured below. My thinking is that if i caulk it to make it nice and straight then i can paint it, on the other hand I am thinking the walls are new stud walls and not sure if its a good idea to put caulk on it...

Nice, what is this system called and where can i get it from please ? I quite like this compared to the glass option. The posts, can they be bolted onto patio slabs ?

Thanks very much for the info, I will look into it.

Hi All. I have just been told by building regulations that I will need to have a balustrade as the change in levels from my patio to the natural ground/grass is more than 600mm. In light of this, I have been looking at the various options and one option that comes to mind after spending hours...

Hi All. I am building a step to step down into my garden. Please see the pictures below. I was going to have the step riser rendered, however I was doing some research and thought I could use some 20mm porcelain slabs as the steps/risers. My main concern is around sharp corners/edges where the...

Hi All. I own the 2 sides of the fence on both sides of my garden, and i am staining the one which i see in grey. I want to know how important it is to stain both sides, because having to stain 20 + panels with a brush on both sides is no joke. I was planning to use a clear wood preserver...

Thanks for the response, do you mean that once the small faceplate is removed one can have access to the whole thing, what if a leak needs to be fixed. will that small opening be enough ?

Hi All. I would like to know what wall hung toilets are like from an installation and maintenance perspective. One thing that comes to mind is that if the system develops a fault, will the tile work etc need to be broken ? I did ask the bathroom designer and he was saying something that the...

Hi All. I was just looking at the cost of a bundle of 15mm and 22mm pipe. In the middle of a huge project which requires about 6 bundles of each. Last year 15mm bundles was selling for under 70 quid at W***** and 22mm just under 120 quid, now its almost double. I cannot believe it. I am not...

Does it matter (:-) Just asking a question here.
