Hi all, I want to move a toilet in a ground floor flat by about 8 meters from it's original location, and further away from the manhole it drains into. This will make the new toilet about 10 meters from the manhole. I checked with Thames Water and seems this manhole might connect to a...

Thanks for your feedback tony1851 - that makes sense to me. I have read through the technical guidance on Permitted Development (again) and section A.1 (g) sets out what you have said. I.e. An extension with a rear projection of 3m and full width of the original house would not be PD or PP...

Hi again! I have come to the conclusion that there are 2 options to apply for approvals: 1) - the rear extension - outlined in blue - could be a permitted development application requiring 'notification of a proposed larger house' to the Council. - the rear extension - outlined in green -...

Hi Notch7 - This is what I was afraid of :( So - a single storey rear extension to the 'original building' would be allowed under PD - as shown by blue box in diagram attached - and nothing can be built inside the green box under PD - such as a single storey rear extension ? What do I do if I...

Need help trying to figure out if my project is a permitted development application. We are proposing to build a full width single storey extension, extending up to 6 meters to the rear of a terraced / semi detached residential building in an area that doesn't fall under Article 4(2). The...

Your right Nige, I do need a side mount one (left side). I am gutted that I threw mine away, rather than store it for some later use. Don't what I was thinking of.... :cry: Seems the chrome ones are to be found - for a price!.... http://www.blueb.co.uk/ProductDetails.asp?Id=33...

Hi, I bought an old victorian high level cistern. I mistakenly threw away the cast iron flushpipe that came with it, as I thought I wanted the cistern to be positioned directly behind the toilet. I am now kicking myself for giving it to the scrap man :-( The old flushpipe that I gave away...

Hi, Just a question about what sockets I need to connect a couple of appliances into my new kitchen. I am providing my electrician with the faceplates for all of the new electrics in my house, so trying to figure out what I need to buy... In the kitchen I have a boiler which has a cable...

What's an MOV and how do I know what a 'hi spec' surge protector is? You said it can be reused most times. I thought that once the light turned off (once the surge has cut the connection), then the light can't be reset?

I'm not sure if laptop power supply leads have in built transformers - if they did would it be enough to control the input of voltage into the laptop? (My laptop isn't with me at the moment so I can't check what it says on the power supply lead). For example, I've looked at my external hard...

Hi Thripster. Yes. I've been told that India is prone to Voltage surges. Their regular voltage is the same as the UK = 230-240V. I need the surge protector to mainly protect my laptop. But I need one that I can reset after a surge has been detected. I don't want to keep on having to...

I'm going to India where they have the same Voltage as the UK. I'm taking all my electrical equipment with me: Laptop, chargers, mp3 player, extension lead, etc, so I'm looking into getting a surge protector. I need a surge protector that I can plug into a wall socket (via a 3pin to 2pin...
