Many thanks for the helpful replies - it sounds like it's do-able. Unfortunately, I may be running out of excuses to my OH for parting with the dosh! Is the 'warm-up time' of UFH compatible with conventional radiators? My recollection is that UFH is more of a 'leave it on all the time' affair...

Hi Chaps, We'd like to re-fit our kitchen, but one end wall is taken up with the sole large radiator - which really limits our options for worktops & units. I'd therefore like to know if converting just the kitchen to UFH would be at all feasible. The rest of the CH is a very standard affair -...

Thanks, rb - the connecting wall is solid 9" brick (no cavity). The garage was, I think, built in the mid/late 70's and is of brick & block construction - with a miniscule cavity by modern standards! As usual, I'm probably over-thinking things and should just take the roofers' advice. Things do...

I suppose it could be argued that heat is being lost through the common wall and out via the uninsulated garage roof? Would it come down to the payback time for the additional cost of insulation?

Still weighing up options for renewing the flat roof on our (unheated) attached garage. It's felt, of unknown age, has no ceiling and no insulation whatsoever. Only used for storage, and has never had a car in it during our ownership! I've now had a couple of roofers round for quotes. Both...

Apologies for resurrecting this thread, but it's come up in my information trawl regarding GRP flat roofs:whistle: According to https://uk.westfraser.com/our-products/sterlingosb-zero/sterlingosb-zero-osb3/ Sterling 'Zero' OSB3 proudly proclaims: "Now, a much smoother OSB, it is so smooth that...

Hi John, Have the pinholes developed over time, or do you think the initial laying wasn't up to scratch? How old's the roof, and was it 'professionally' laid? The internet's a great place for information & advice, but so much of it is conflicting:D Cheers, David

Thanks all for your very helpful suggestions. I've been going round in circles considering the merits of GRP, EPDM and good ol' torch-on felt:mad: Do I just get someone in to do it, or 'man up' and have a go myself? It still appears to be 'boom time' in the building trades, so costs seem quite...

Thanks, noseall - but I thought it was 23.7º C :D

Hi Guys, This year I hope to tackle the garage flat roof - most probably in GRP. It's a simple rectangle, 6m x 5m, with one wall abutment, and no 'features' in the surface (pipes etc.). There seems to be quite a range of resin 'systems' on the market, all of course claiming to be 'superior' or...

Hi Chaps, I'm having a new CH system fitted soon, which will include an unvented DHW cylinder. This will naturally have discharge pipework for the pressure relief and combined P&T valves, and I understand the pipe sizing and tundish requirements for those. The CH system will be sealed, so...
