A few years ago i fitted a stove in our con`y, now we want one for the front room as we think they are great. I ahve been reading about fitting them on the internet and info says you should get a registered person to fit them properly, what is the difference from the double lined flue i have...

Thanks Tony, yes i will be keeping the same foot print and use the same external dividing door to the house, just making a solid ply GRP/roof as it is leaking. thanks kida wayne

So if i keep the con`y as it is with the windows and just fit a garage door i will be fine. BUT what if i change the roof to a full solid rood as con`ys need a 75% transparent roof.

I have a conservatory that i want to remove one front window side and then i can fit a door so i can use it to build a car, kit car type. It has plannin permission and has a external door joining the house to it. Do you think i will have to get planning to use it in this way?

Thanks for the advice mate, i know it cant be lined, the drain lads told me and shown me on the CCTV, i will look on the LSC website.

I hope this is the correct section, sorry if not. For a start, all best for the new year folks Not that i am in the spirit now, after one hell of a bad year with having eye surgery, then a virus then fracturing my foot then whip lash this had to just finish it bloody off Yesterday i...

Thanks for that, good to ask as i am not fully up with the understanding of electrics. I just looked at it as its own feed from the consumer which will be enough for the welder then add its own garage consumer with a 16 amp, so infact it would be the same as starting its own feed from the house...

Hi all, i am going to buy a new Mig welder as the one i have getting on a bit and the one i am after is bigger at 200amp, now i need to go upto a 16amp supply towards the standard 13 amp socket i am using now. I have an old cooker socket as in the pic below My work shop is behind the...

Hi all, a while ago i built ourselves a con`y, now we have been using a calor fire, not the best i know, but we have got a multi fuel stove to fit in there. Now i built the con`y as a separate unit from the house ( left in the external grade french doors from the house into the con`y) Now...

I cant see the pocs as they are not coming up for some reason, BUT when you drill through a wall shouldnt any sensible person check first whats behind it.

This has come from another thread, just curious as already built one with a dwarf wall. If there was a consevatory to be built with either a full height in glass or say the lower 70cm in upvc how would it be kept from damp/condensation. Also kept at a useable temp in colder time of the year...

The link you gave is the board i was looking at that i dont know the name of, i was told that i can screw them straight the wall or dot and dab them, that by a insulation supplyer? So why wouldnt the slabs i found at wicks not work when used with plasterboard in the same way? You say to...

I will have a look kida, thanks for all the help

To answwer a few Q`s The cony is 4.6m x 2.95m and at the highest oint 2.2m, I insulated under the concrete with 50mm polystyrene. I built the dwarf wall in single skin as to keep within planning permission of ` no deeper than half the house width` as it is an end cony and not at the...

So howdo full hight glass cony`s go on? oe even part glass part upvc con`ys? Do you think the 2 rads wont be enough?

Hi all, i am ready to insulate the cony now as soon as the sparky has finmished the electrics and i have finished the plumbing of the 2 radiators. I have been reading about the insulation for the single skin wall to the out side, not the house wall, now as i see it there is no point in...

Thanks to those that gave advice, much appreciated. I have found a sparky that says he will have a look at what i want and draw plans up for me to do the work and he will check it and do the rest for me. Will make things a lot easyer as this elecy business is complicated for me. Thanks again...

True, very true. But that was then and now i need to do it properly then, i guess the DIY book i used is no good then. So can i run the cony off the spur?

In what way, i had a run from the house of around 20 foot and for the 4 years i used all the powers i have from a 400w hand drill to a mig welder/plasma cutter with no problems. I did ask about the set up with a sparky and he said it was all fine but no need for the house end kill switch i...

So how can i use the spur to power the cony and workshop?
