I possibly would depending on the visit later on tomorrow...or is it today !!! I'm more concerned over the reference to Gas Safe practices and what the Enginneer can and can't do, am being told left right and centre that if I open up the boiler to do anything it's illegal. My missus works for...

Hi, haven't posted for a while as everything has been going sweet as pea...till now!!... I have an issue with a Glowworm Micron 60ff Boiler pcb. It has been operating sporadically recently...going off before reaching stat temp, not starting when it should basically very erratic without...

Thanks Woodster66 that sounds like an excellent idea -- I can't believe I didn't think of it before!!!! Will go at this angle - am away offshore at the moment so will see when I get home. Thanks very much :D

Thanks for the response chaps. I am not sure whether the existing foundations will be suitable (Extension done in 1987) - do you have different levels of foundations for a single and a double extension?? - I don't know - just an assumption on my behalf. The extension already supports a roof...

I used to have a door the other side of the extension but had the kitchen overhauled about 5 years ago to give it a better arrangement - unfortunately the door had to be sacrificed. The neighbours space (from his house to the fence) which you cannot see from the pictures is nearly 12ft wide. I...

Hi Lads and Lasses, We will be going down the planning permission route early in the new year to see if we can build on top of half of our existing rear extension so that we can have three double bedrooms. We have thought through the loft conversion route but after initial discussions with...

Cheers chaps for the alternatives :lol: Have spoke to the neighbour briefly about it early last year but couldn't commit to anything due to no money in place, he wasn't cool on the idea and didn't see a major problem with it. But was unsure as to what type of money would be reasonable and to...

Hi chaps, not sure if this is the right sub-forum but here goes. The previous occupants of our house put up an extension (rear and side) to our semi. Unfortunately the footprint of the house now no longer has a side access to the back garden. Therefore we have a bit of dead land. It is at...

Hi Jennie, you should have isolating valves at the boiler for feeding the rads. Then you'll have to get whatever container you can to collect the water - remember the water will be contaminated so don't leave lying around and if you use pans like my wife has in the past - ensue they are...

Cheers Richard, we actually thought our budget was a bit excessive - but not being from the building trades am limited on knowhow.... am just a poor ole sparky. Time is a major hinderance for me to be honest to be able to spend quality time on a serious remodel as I work away alot. Plus with a...

Posted this on the projects but think it may be more appropriate in here, Am looking to remodel my 1930's semi and have some questions. I want to do the following work but limit the amount of contractors - preferably use one. :? 1. Dormer loft conversion 2. New Staircase (ground floor to...

Cheers, my wife has just put two fingers up to me after reading that :shock:

Just a question, we are about to have a decent alarm installed in our house, and the topic of Part P cropped up!!! My wife works for the alarm company and states that the installation engineers do not require Part P. Is this correct? I would have thought that since they where in effect adding...

That's what I'm worried about. We want to put the house in a finished condition before selling up. So can't afford to be fleeced by dodgy tradesmen. Probably, why I've done most of the DIY jobs myself, but with me getting called away more and more regularly of late, the DIY is starting to build...

Hello All, seeking words of wisdom again. I've just got myself a job overseas (leave on Monday :shock: ) and the wife is going spare due to a lot of half finished jobs that are in progress inside and outside my house. Since i can't take the grief anymore, and wanting to sub-contract out...

Here's a link although i'm sure that the area above the bath "zone 0" goes all the way to the ceiling. Needs confirming by the elders on this forum http://www.thelightingsuperstore.co.uk/bathroominfo.asp

My thinking to. Starting to sound like a bit of a rewire. If I am BTW where do I stand with Part P. :shock: (bearing in mind that this cable has red and black cores)

We have been going through various scenarios and think we may have a lead. This problem started to escalate when the weather went cold and we turned the heating temp of the radiators up. This points to our kitchen extension we had done earlier this year. We noticed when laying the carpet...

It shows zero amps but any trickle under 0.1A wont show on the meter due to the range - it's only a cheap meter. Why what you thinking?

. Not on this circuit.
