Two separate scenarios. At night you double lock the knob with the key, yes. Next day you leave the house. The door is double locked when the door is shut. So when you are out if someone broke a glass panel and reached round they wouldn’t be able to open it by moving the internal knob. No...

Does Yale not make an automatic deadlock night latch anymore? One that can be double locked from the inside (with a key) and automatically deadbolts from the outside so when the door is shut, and the property empty, it can only be opened from the inside with a key. So the lock can't be opened...

So the ground floor is 5.6m x 7.85m x 2.85m = 125m3. The whole house is therefore going to be well over the specified 150m3 capacity of the PIV device. I'll have to get back to them and see what they advise.

Thank you. I assume as per previous poster we can say the loft space is half volume of cube being slanted on both sides.

Useful to know thanks.

Do you have any experience with them? I really want one, but I would have to get the version to use for flats or where there's a loft conversion but it's not as powerful and I'm wondering if it really can create enough pressure for a whole house.

Ok in metres?

Yes I know it's width x depth x height thanks genii! And if it was a small cube on my table I was measuring - I'd be well away! But I don't know how high my house is, and trying to measure the height of each floor is quite tricky. Also the loft is slanted roof so not as easy as you think.

Hi - how many cubic metres would you say an average terraced house is please? (I want to get a positive input ventilation thing for my house but it has a loft conversion so having to get one that works for houses up to 150m3

It's basically a victorian type terrace house with small yard. I'm not planning to have it right up against the house but about a foot or so away as there is the drain and soil/ water pipes right at the bottom of the rear elevation - thanks.

Yes I did wonder that Woody! Thanks for reassurance.

Hi How near can you make a soil bed to the back of a house? Can it damage the foundations by letting water in? Is it ok to put soil beds in the back yard of a terraced house? Thanks.

Thank you all for the advice. I will stick to perennials and annuals and no trees or big shrubs!

Hello I’m hoping to make a little soil bed in the back yard of my 1920s (approx) terraced house. I’m hoping the waste pipe joins to the soil pipe and doesn’t run separately out to the alley sewer. Is the proposed soil bed safe in terms of avoiding the drain and any risk from roots of small...
