No, Lithuanian chippy, fully metric. Linings were built to spec on site!

I'm not the exprt but I was told that any room which can only be exited into a single hallway/landing needs to be FD30 rated. Excluding bathrooms.

Yes

I bought fire doors. House was mostly rebuilt including the floors. No idea what was there before.

I'm liking this. I'm downgrading my carpenter for not suggesting "door lippings" :confused:. I was on the look out for such a thing and asked them on 3 occasions about this kind of solution. Not a single mention.

This is the door: https://deantawood.co.uk/product/torino-interior-oak-fire-door/

Carpenter, as nice as he was, has screwed up. All other work is good. Credit where it is due but the door heights are totally messed up. I did tell the builder when it was happening nice and early even before we decorated and brought in the carpet but was told there will be a simple solution to...

Good idea, it will have to be something like this.

I don't understand the correct way to go about installing an LED strip into a pocket or recess. Tiler, a pro, very clean work has no simple solution either. What would really help is an 8mm tile trim with a wide "span" (not sure of correct term). 2cm is not enough to play with (that's NOT what...

We got almost 100sq m of wet UFH. 3 floors

It's bigger (6 bed). Proposed. What's 50mm between friends? I'm going ahead, if there's trouble will just have to route it 7m down to the garden.

I may have been confused by the terminology. Below is the clearance diagram from Vaillant. When they say "vertical flue clearance" in the below diagram/chart, they mean the horizontal clearance of a vertical flue! Looking at it with fresh pair of eyes (we get wiser by the minute), I think I'm OK...

Thanks. Yes, every builder, plumber and "expert" has an opinion. Makes the whole thing so much more exciting! My RGI has said words to the effect of: "mmmmm, errr, it should be OK. The regs are not clear." And I've asked others. All provide answers that don't clarify anything.

Thanks. Could you please expand on those acronyms? And it's too late. Kitchen is all done. Builder let me down with late planning and design of plumbing solution.

Thanks. Boiler is a Vaillant 637 ecotec plus System. The side passage roof in question: View looking from garden at our house. The garage represents the boundary, and a fence in line with this carries on. Plan view:

I am looking at several diagrams but it's not clear to me what the regulation says about the distance a flue pipe from a neighbours boundary. I've seen 300 and 600mm. II would like to route our pipe from our side passage, coming out from a wall in the utility room, with an elbow joint and...

Hi again Picture says a thousand words and all that... Is there a frame that is lower than 0.9m for a wall hung toilet where the cistern is self contained but the flush panel can be placed outside of the frame, offset to the left or right?

I was originally committed to a concealed frame for wall hung toilet with mechanical flush buttons. However, because of a window directly where the toilet is, I am limited to 0.92 m exactly. There is a frame that would fit but both this and the smaller 0.82m frame would result in the flush...

In my local area, 3 out of 5 end-of-terrace houses that have a loft/dormer conversion have done so by building up to the ridge line. Before I started my project, I thought I could do the same. However, my approved plans do not allow me to. Of course, neither did the plans for the others. They...
