Hi, Please be gentle it's my first post. I need help with Part L for flat roofs. I'll be honest, I'm an old school roofer who is trying to upgrade to 2013, but all I get is conflicting messages. I'm not sure if it's a localised thing but our Building inspectors don't give a hoot. I ask if it...

HI GUYS,HOW ARE YOU GOING ABOUT ACHIEVING PART L OF THE BUILDING REGS ON REPLACEMENT SYSTEMS,IT SEEMS TO ME A LOT OF WORK/EXPENSE ON A SMALL HOUSE,HOW IS IT POLICED?

...Chaps, Another day another question! I see from looking in the WIKI section on here, that a room thermostat is still required to meet part L of the regulations, even if there are radiator thermostats. Is this true even if the rad stats are fitted to all rads, and they are all smart stats...

I'm fitting heating upstairs in our house, and I came across something saying that BR Part L requires separate zoning for sleeping areas. I've taken a look at part L, and can't see it mentioned anywhere. I was planning on fitting three radiators in the three bedrooms, each with a TRV. But...

Hi, On a new combi boiler installation, would it be sufficient to install any programmable room thermostat that has an 'optimum start' feature built in? Would this meet the mimunum requirements for Part L compliance? Many thanks.

I’d be grateful if anyone could offer any advice on this. I am aware that under Part L regs, any dwelling over 150m2 must be split into at least 2 separately controlled central heating zones. Does anybody know if this is also the case for non residential? I am currently pricing a community...

Part L Pressure Testing - how does that work with trickle vents, I assume they must be closed during the test ? from my experience they are not the most sturdy/air tight bits of kit. Trickle Vent Extractor Fan - is there such a thing, be easier that drilling a huge hole through the wall. I want...

...and the contractor has informed them, paid the fee's, etc Had a phone call from the contractor last week saying that in order to meet the Part L insulation standards, he would need to fit '50mm celutex between the rafters' at a [considerable] extra cost. I don't know if the contractor...

...Since the windows were in good conditions I did not allow for this massive extra cost. The reason for this, the inspector told me, is due to part L and the conservation of energy. Is there any way out of this? If I live in a conservation area I am not allowed to change them and if I...

...but our friends at British Gas had replaced his boiler 3 weeks ago. I am OFTEC registered, no dog card, but would have insisted on fitting trv's on existing system if the boiler had been oil instead of gas, as I thought Part L Buildings Regs requires. Am I being too fussy or is BG just ****e?

...But on some parts of the house eg the outside wall where the stairs run, I would have to compromise at 25mm (extratherm etc), otherwise the stairs would become too narrow to use. Does part L require any improvement to insualtion of a wall to comply with current requirements for new build?

We have a set of flats we are struggling to bring up to Part L without major renovation works or long surface mounted pipe runs. When the flats were built, a system boiler at the front of the property, and tank and cylinder crammed in a tiny airing cupboard on a tap stat (see attached). It's...

a colleague has ordered a load of engineered wood to replace her carpet in an L shaped hall/lobby of a flat. The hall L is such that the longer run leads from slightly to the left of the front door along towards the living area. The shorter part to the bathroom (the base of the L) The only...

The revised edition of Part L comes into effect in June this year. The U-values for elements of structure have been tightened still further. Walls, for example, have gone from 0.26 to 0.18, which is an incredible reduction of heat loss. Roofs are similarly treated, meaning a lot more Kingspan...

Is it possible? How is the 'L' return piece affixed to the main screen? Is it just a seal, so I can simply omit it? Or is it actually part of a preformed L shaped piece of glass? Can't seem to find anything on a Google search Thanks

...be fitted in the same room as the stat, which in this case is the hall. The hall is not fitted with a radiator and my friend says breaks Part L regs, whatever that is? The hallway is small and the only sized radiator that can be fitted is approx 200mm allowing for pipe work and valves...

...Building Control advise that it constitutes a change of use and therefore requires BC approval. This is all fine, however they have said for Part L compliance the building fabric needs to be compliant with current standards. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think it's Part L1B that is...
