Hi, I wonder if anyone has had the same problem as me, and - if you did - what did you do about it? Just had a two-storey extension done by a builder. When he put the floorboards down in the upstairs extension, the end wall did not look straight - it looked way out. I have attached a picture...

My mate had another plumber have a look. Three of the radiators have been installed upside down! The diverting valve is on the top, not the bottom. Even though the radiator has clear yellow stickers on it He will be coming back to correct these and have a go at rebalancing the system. Sadly...

Builder did it all sadly.

The design and building control drawing was done by an architect. This was what was given to the builder to quote on.

There is a contract. But the contract is high-level. The builder had the Building Control drawing to work from, but this does not show radiators. My mate was asked by the builder where he wanted radiators and how many.

The builder carried out the heating work himself. He did not employ a plumber, something that surprised me at the time.

Hi, My friend recently had a two-story extension done to his house. Building control has not yet signed off the work as 'completed'. He has hit a snag. In the extension, the builder has added a radiator to each en-suite and bedroom — four new radiators to the 11 he already has in the rest of...

If it is not too much trouble, could you post me a sketch of your layout please?

Many thanks, that sounds great.

The builders are doing the extension to the BC diagram but say the internals are up to me. I can make internal rooms whatever size I want. So I have the choice of what size I want the ensuite rooms.

Thank you. As the extension is in the process of being built, the floor plan is up to me.

Hi, I currently having a 2 storey extension done at the side of my house. Idea is to have a ensuite bedroom upstairs and downstairs. The area being built on is not that wide. The Downstairs area will be around 9.6m x 2.4m. The area upstairs will be 6m x 2.2m. The complicating factor is that...

Thanks for that. Just checked my other windows. The start of glass in the window is actually around 5cm above the sill. So I may be OK. Otherwise, I will just have toughened glass put in.

Please find picture attached showing window line and comment about 800mm above floor level.

Hi, Please can someone advice. My building control diagram shows the windows of my new extension line up - top and bottom - with the windows of the main house. But it also states that the minimum height of the extension window above floor length should be 80cm. The problem is that the windows...

Hi, I am asking this on behalf of a mate. He has just has an extension built at his house. This is on his land and does not affect the neighbours property. He has some land at the said of his house which is wedge shaped - approximately 3m wide at the from of the house and 2.5m wide at the...

Hi, Recently, I had a builder start building me a two storey extension on my property. Once he had dug down for the foundation (around 1m or so), He told me that there was water coming out from under the property. I called a local firm out and they initially thought that the water was coming...
