Yep, I have told her NOT to had over the balance yet till its clear where the fault is. Hopefully they will fit a new one over the weekend.

Sorry to drag this thread up again. We just got planing permission on the submitted plan. Before we start getting builders involved with cost. Is t possible for me to use the plan to get a materials cost. While no where close to full cost of the project, it could help us decide if it's a worthy...

Something else I noticed was that the existing pump is upside down (I reoriented the picture in my previous post for clear reading). Is that normal?. She bought the house 4 yrs ago and never had issues with the heating... They used plastic pipes (buried in concrete ) to the last radiator. Is...

Hi all, My sister just had a single rear extension done. It's an end of terrace. Ground floor rear extension. This has resulted in adding to the current central heating system 3 new radiators i.e. a Towel rad in the new toilet, a 40cm rad and a 45cm tall vertical column rad in the extension...

My lounge ceiling height is only 2.33m so can't have something hanging lower than the current light bulb (at 30cm). Are the pics below the sort of lighting I should be looking at?

Thanks very much for the ideas, I think I'll give the 5 arm chandelier and plugin uplighters a try. Will painting the walls white make a difference?

We have a north facing lounge approximately 5.2m x 4.5m in size. The french doors at one end are the only source of natural lighting. There is only a single ceiling 35w CFL spiral bulb. The bulb is permanently on even during the day. This seems to be the most powerful bulb I have seen without...

His plans include dimensions and boundary lines but does not show the other property. I have never seen a plan showing properties on other side of the boundary hence no 45degree annotations Hopefully if council show up and says there is an issue, I can try and get advice on what will work...

When the council process submitted applications, will they make contact with me to look at the site ? Trying to figure out how they can make their measurements correctly if they don't have access to the properties

Thanks @Djangobanjo, Budget is small as we intend to sell and use gains to move to another property or just move without extending if gains (or loss) is not worth the hassle @^woody^ he seemed to have completely overlooked it. Anyhow he said he will redo the plans free if it fails for that. He...

Spoken with the architect about my concerns and he told me to send a picture of the 2 houses so he can recheck again. He said best to submit and see what happens. Some thing else he did on the drawing was to set back the wall of side extension a little bit from the front elevation. Roof also...

...... This is a lot more complicated than I thought and that not even getting to the build part!. I will hopefully speak with the architect tomorrow about my concerns. He has been doing work in my borough for a very long time so hopping that not bringing this to my attention is because he...

Another sketch showing the area on plan (in red) that could be impacted by the 45°. Both windows on that building are habitable spaces. Looks pretty much like most of my proposed rear extension and some part of side extension & roof are affected. Woody, I am completely new to this. Which part...

I had a look at a few refused & granted planning applications and its a mixed bag. Some granted where similar sizes declined elsewhere .... I may have a problem here with the 45 degree rule though wondering why the architect did not raise possible concerns. Do the planing officers come to the...

Bearing in mind that the whole rear extension will be single storey with pitched roof.... Attached is also a floor plan of neighbours on both sides. We have standard 6ft -ish wooden fences. Standing by my patio door, I can see part of my adjoined neighbour's conservatory. If I am upstairs I can...

Hi all, I have instructed an architect for a storey side extension and single storey rear extension on a semi detached property. The attached picture is my mock up of existing ground floor plan and what I think will be the proposed plan. While still waiting for the architect to complete his...

+ Yellow suit like Breaking Bad and my neighbour might just think I have an underground lab. Near missis are the best reminders of safety 1st. I was trying to wrestle a baton (with nail at bot ends) off the wall a couple of yeas ago. Too lazy to reach for a hammer to know it off. One end...

Or maybe move to a Hot climate

Success. I put in new olives, added lsx and ptfe. No leaks. Wished I had done that in the first place. I stuck my finger down some pipes and its still black. There was me thinking the x400. x800 and multiple drains was going to give me clean pipes. Some of the black crud gravitated to a...

Thanks, will try the PTFE on existing olive as Its a big job to get the whole lot out again ......
