Ok, so it wouldn't be possible to propose the project as an extension of the dining room on the basis that they won't believe it, even though it would be true, as they will think that a new door can be installed at a later date? If yes then are there any suggestions that would minimise the space...

Care to elaborate?

Thanks. I was told that there used to be a staircase from the master bedroom to the study, but the previous owner removed it many years ago. This was before the new fire safety regulations were implemented. The building was built around 1999, and the previous owner removed the staircase soon...

Hi All, Hope everyone is doing well. I live in a 7th floor duplex apartment, and want to extend the floor of my study, which overlooks the master bedroom, all the way to the window which overlooks the balcony (see floorplan below). Currently, there is one staircase for the mezzanine area...

Thank you very much @freddiemercurystwin. Just to confirm that my understanding is correct, I need to make sure that the hose is filled with water before I connect it to the machine?

Hi all, I've just bought a Karcher K3 pressure washer. I don't have a water connection but read online from multiple sources that I can buy a suction hose and draw from a bucket. The Karcher helpline people say that the washer needs to be gravity fed (hence I need to put the bucket in an...

Thank you, that is very helpful!

Thanks @crank39. I found the two hinges below on Screwfix, and they seem to match the dimensions of the current ones (414mm long 19mm wide), and the stack height is 13 and 17mm. Does that mean they can be adjusted for either of the two stack heights? Only problem is that they don't seem to have...

Hi all, I’m looking to replace the UPVC window hinges in my flat, but am not sure as to exactly which ones I need to buy as the current ones are about 20 years old. Any advice on how I can figure it out? I've included an image. The existing hinge is 41cm long and 1.9cm wide. Thank you!!

Hi all, hope you had a great weekend! I’m keen to replace the seals on my UPVC windows and balcony doors, and the hinges on some of the windows as well. I’m not sure as to what seals and hinges I would need to buy. Any advice on how I can figure it out? Note that the doors and windows are all...

Thanks @stem. Much appreciated.

Hi all, I was wondering if someone could help me with a question about the sound dispersion of an A2A heat pump. I acknowledge that this might be a slightly "scientific" question, but I thought I would try my luck :giggle:. I live in a flat and am putting together a detailed permission request...

Thanks @Rodders53. Yes, I am in a flat and will need a bunch of permissions, but a few of my friends in the building have managed to get the required permissions so it shouldn't be much of an issue. I did explore air to water, but it's not feasible as I would need to rip apart most of my flat...

Thanks for the replies guys. Sorry for all the confusion. I’ve specified some more accurate figures below – Room size – 38 square meters. 5 meters height. Current heating, which managed to get the room temperature to 18 degrees (16 on very cold days) Fan heater – 3kw running for about 3 hours...

Thank you @Rodders53. The room is about 6m X 7m, and the ceilings are very high - about 5m. We actually have 2 150w UFH matts spread out across the room, but hardly ever use both at the same time to save money. I mentioned that we get it to 18 degrees, but that might be a bit of a stretch. On...

Hi everyone, I’m looking into installing an air-to-air heat pump (air-conditioning) in my living room and am trying to work out whether it will save me any money on my electricity bill in winter. I spend about 7 hours in my living room in the evenings, and would need to have 150w electric...

Thanks @stem

@stem thank you for that. Air to air (A2A) sounds like what he has, and what I think I would need, considering it would be just for one room. Couple of follow-up questions - 1. It's just an external unit and an internal unit connected with each other, so no need to connect it to a boiler? 2...

Hi all, I recently went to a friend’s flat who had an air-conditioning unit in his living room which was blowing hot air and keeping it exceptionally warm for such a large living room (6 X 7 meters). He didn’t seem to know much about it other than it is connected to an external unit and...

Legend!! Thank you so much. Worked perfectly :mrgreen:
