    Adding Radiator to a Conservatory

    Hi Our conservatory has no central heating; we tend to apply heating via electric oil-fired radiators. We're considering replacing the Polycarbonate roof with an insulated roof, but the heating thing is a bit of a quandary. My understanding of regulations was that, for a conservatory, any...

    Extractor Fan...
