is he definately talking about the downlights or is it the ceiling? fire hoods would fix the downlight issue i would imagine the timber ceiling should be fire treated or replaced with plaster best to speak to your surveyor to clarify things - its what youve paid him for - get your...

shut it you tart :lol:

Replacement doors and windows can be fitted by FENSA registered installers without inspection by the local authority building control. If the windows/doors are fitted by someone not registered with FENSA then an application and inspections by the local authority are necessary Either way...

isnt the BS7671 certificate in 3 stages 1.Design 2.Install 3.Test If they are very kindly testing the installation you need to do your bit (i.e. fill in who designed and who installed it)

How Very Dare You!!!!! :P //www.diynot.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=37582

probably not everybody. Maintaining the fire resistance and sound insulation is integral to meeting the regs. so doing it properly means fitting them. As for the people who dont know about them, quite simply they should make it their business to know - particularly those who are...

but balance that cost against the combined cost of each downlight and fire/sound hood.........then the simpler installation avoiding hows that grab ya?

did you have approved plans or was it a building notice?

and for desert :) the rest of the floor construction is only fire resistant for 30 minutes as thats the standard its designed to for in the average 2 storey house. The timber flooring/joists/plaster combine to provide 30 mins fire resistance - when the holes for the plaster are made the...

if youve got 'little b*****ds' i know you can have the plastic lift covers over the alarm - its not fort knox but its a secondary barrier which is often enough to put off all but the 'nasty little b*****ds' who would probably break a window instead :evil:

have you not told her about the light switch boogie man? :shock: If the extension matches the existing heights of the sockets/switches in the house then it would be ok. So if the existing are higher or lower stay within the existing limits set. If you had a newish house the existing...

if its domestic new build then your looking at between 450mm-1200mm

Thats all it does require - the method that you chose isnt dictated - but following the approved document is often the cheapest and most straight forward way. The onus is on the person doing the work to show that it complies, so its easy to say 'i followed part p and that says follow BS7671' -...

i dont see the contradiction Adam, help me out

blah blah blah .....then youll be a man my son :D tell me another way

but if its the chosen route to show compliance then testing is part of the package we could do it to the la la carcacha regs......la la carcacha, la la carcacha, la la la la laaa :wink: instead of testing do a lil dance :lol:

but not a patch on a potterton, right gaz :wink:

but isnt it BS7671 that asks for the certificate?

Thats quite an important statement - have you already built the shell of the extension or are you still planning it?

Hi Adam, reading your post i think there is some scope for confusion, im sure you understand that - A completion certificate for building regs is issued for all applications (new house/ extension/ rewire, etc)when completed. Its not the same as a BS7671 design install and inspect...
