Efl Ok from inside my house where I take the mains from I will have a single mcb breaker this will be after my consumer unit so if I get a overload/ rat chewing through the cable etc it won’t trip my house just the single extension, inside the shed the normal 2.5 will go to a double socket...

Hi scally, It’s running 12metres and it’s not much load just a tv l, the light is just a couple of led downlights connected to a 3 amp spur. I was planning on installing a single rcd at the house side so if anything outside tripped it it would trip my House side of that makes sense? Thanks Jake

Hi, Just building a summer house and will be running A socket/ light to it I Wondered if I can use 2.5 t&e for this buried under ground which will be placed in conduit for a mechanical casing? I know swa is far easier however I’ve got loads of t&e and conduit left from my last project. Cheers Jake

I’d love to lay a concrete base however the shed is 15 square metres which is fine but to access the rear garden as we are a terraced we have to go through seceral Gardens to get to ours which means me with a barrow and doing all the mixing just wouldn’t work Lol

Hi I’ve got a project where I need to render it , I’ve currently covered it in tile backer board as it gives a really nice flat finish and I got it for free lol Anyway if I’m using a one Pocatello render can I skim this the same thickness as multi finish or would I still need the 10mm...

Hi Stevie, thanks for your reply, it was actually a very large bay window (3x1 ) which got rejected because no one else on the street has a roof( canopy) above their bay window line we have which seems crazy to deny it for that however rules are rules! It was just obviously going in front of...

Hi, Strange question but to cut a long story short I got my planning appeal rejected for a front extension. I know pd allows you to build a porch 3x1 but is there anything in the rules that stops you building two seperate porches 3x1? Thanks

Woody what I mean re plans is that the council expects a certain scale of plans etc before they will put them on the planning portal, the people who draw plans for a living wanted quite a lot which I’m happy I don’t have to pay lol

Lol thanks noseal, gives me some things to think about… I’m looking forward to this, I drew all my plans by hand and was a challenge because I had no idea however the next plans will be so much easier as I’ve leaned a lot, I’m chuffed they were good enough to be accepted and all it cost me was...

Hi I’ve just got my plans accepted for a small bay window and also got A building notice accepted for a small pd extension to the rear. The plans need to be still circulated in the community for people oppositions however I wondered if someone could tell me what things I’ll need to consider/...
