Thanks woody, that's good to hear. I was going to design it based on the rules, as common sense would suggest this is basically just a shelter/shed and I don't want a £250 project to turn in to a £2000 project obviously when anybody can see that it's a shelter for the wheel barrow/lawn mower and...

That's ok, I appreciate the help!

Thanks for the info, but does it not fall under this? Extensions The extension of a building by the addition at ground level of— (a)a conservatory, porch, covered yard or covered way; or (b)a carport open on at least two sides; where the floor area of that extension does not exceed 30m2...

Hi, I'm after a little help to clarify if building regulations would apply to my project? I want to build a wood structure that would be connected to the outside wall of our garage. The structure is just basically a shelter/lean to which would be used to store things like the lawn mower and...

Hi all, I've noticed that our heating pump is making a noise which sounds like grit in the water flowing through it, or air bubbles. It's hard to explain, it sounds like how I would imagine gritty water to sound flowing through a pipe. The boiler is also kettling a moderate amount (Ideal...

Hi all, I'm after some wardrobe advice! Basically we require a 3 door wardrobe but can't fit anything premade through our bedroom door. Does anybody know of any good wardrobes which come as flat pack? Apart from custom building one I'm at a bit of a loss! Thanks!

I think it might be a faulty TRV, thanks for the ideas :)

Upstairs I have 3 radiators, dimensions below 1 is 40cm x 120cm single panel - this has no temp loss 2 are 50cm x 140cm (these are the ones that seem to be 20c cooler at one end, I can easily keep my hand on one end, but not the other) Strange!

The lock shield side is the hottest but to be honest the TRVs are bidirectional so I did not put the lock shield on the input/return pipe on purpose (just placed based on ease of access.). I tried turning off the upstairs rads apart from one (and left the lockshield fully open) and two of the...

Hi, I was hoping somebody could help me understand the behavior of our radiators. information: Ideal Mexico boiler Open vented gravity fed No electronic switch valve that I can see. 4 pipes go in to the boiler, 2 smaller which seem to go to the pump/radiators 2 larger pipes which I assume go...

Hi all, i'm hoping somebody can offer some advice regarding building control/regulations. The situation is that we would like to build something similar to an open 'lean to' in our garden, but very close to the neighbours house wall, and also our own garage. Just to make it clear, the...

Thanks, will have a look!

We would like to build a small 'lean to' shed/shelter in our garden which would simply provide storage for the lawn mower etc. This would be right against the back of the neighbors wall (they are fine with the idea), is it normal to lay the base so that the concrete goes right up against their...

Hi, Just wondering if anybody knows of a traditional handle which uses the pneumatic system? We currently have a push button and I find it a bit fiddly at times. If I replaced the button, what are they actually called?

Excellent, will trace the wire! Thanks!

Hi all, sorry if this has been asked before 1000 times. I would like to add a socket to what I think is already a spur (will investigate further based on what I find out here). I would appreciate it if somebody could let me know if this is possible and what I need to do? I'm going to hazard a...

That's cool!

Thanks, that clarify's it :) To be honest, i'm not sure the boiler is that efficient but it all works fine, I quite like the character of it, even though all the valves seem stuck and everything I touch starts to drip :confused:

Thanks guys, i'll give it a go!!

We have 2 tanks, 1 main and 1 expansion tank. I've been told because of this it's not a primatic cylinder, which is good to know! I drained the system today and added the cleaning chemical, thankfully it all seems to be working again! (I was worried about air locks when refilling). Dan, I...
