Hi all move got an insulation guy coming to do 270mm in the loft. But he says he won’t do the slanted void. but the EPC website says the slanted void is very poor insulation and flat but is average. Can anyone advise me wether they should or shouldn’t be doing the slanted void please?

Thanks and are the dry rods a long term answer please?

Hi all The back of the house is getting rising damp and I can see the black plastic lining is flush with the ground. Masonry paint has been previously used. But no effect I’ve just installed dry rods internally but wondering if I need to address the continuing problem should I cut away the...

Back to the part p certification The only new electrical appliance is the floor mat. If I just remove it and have a heated towel rack installed by my plumber family member, would it then be ok please?

Thanks I’ll earth it then. And see where I stand with this P notice. I’ve taken pictures at every step. And worst case scenario I’ll just put a bath back in so it’s not a wetroom. gobby little attitude other than the advice I’ll ignore.

Hi yes I added an FCU with 13amp fuse Apologies I’ll get a picture of the fuse box in the morning! And the wire mesh is a protective sheath over the entire cable. It has nothing to connect to. Nothing in manual. Thanks again

Hi I’ve just attached an image of the mat from eBay

I do have it but not in the wetroom Also the power supplier I’m with it is cheaper at times costs nothing or can be payed to use electricity. So this is the cheapest option more often

I haven’t a clue sorry. I know the controller has surge protection and overheating protection. let’s say I put a plug on the heating control power supply, and plugged it in as a normal appliance? Or a fuse box, and then powered it from a different place in the house? Say an old light switch...

The original one was just to heat up the wetroom floor to help it dry quicker and take the edge off those cold evening poo’s freezing feet in the process it seems like there’s a lot of complicated scenarios being brought up and I understand electrics can kill. But I do have some sense and know...

Hi all I tried connecting a third wire to the socket connections, and lead them to the relevant inputs of the underfloor heating control box. It has worked and no problems, so would I be right in thinking put the FCU box in between, and it’s safe? It heats up the floor to feel very cosy warm...

Hi it’s a 200 watt mat that you screed over. With a little digital box. I can do basic wiring but I’ve no real idea how it works... could I daisy chain the digital control box from one of the sockets? Say to put beside the double socket box? I don’t want to follow cables or cause more...

Hi all Im looking to locate my underfloor heating electric thermostat. The easiest place I can see is to change a double plug socket and wire it in to the thermostat and plaster around the old hole. Or relocate the power supply wire to near by the light switch so the thermostat and light are...

Updating on this I googled the EPC certificate and got some contacts. I’ll contact them and send them the product receipts and pictures thanks again all!

Hi all Thanks for the replies: Firstly how is internal insulation not going to make a difference? I’m presuming that’s wrong information. I’ve got the 50mm dry lined plaster backed stuff. It’s got 2 layers of foil backed paper. I insulated one partition wall as to get better sound...

Hi I was told I should insulate 400mm inwards of partitioning wall. But thinking I could do with doing the big landing wall as it is so big and cold. Literally wet right now in the cupboard above the stairs. I don’t mind registering it. But I have literally no knowledge on laws for it. And I...

Hi all I’ve got a mid terrace cottage with solid walls and floor. Only insulation is loft. move got some 50mm insulated plasterboard to internally insulate the front, back and partitioning walls. my question is, does it need to be legally registered with anyone or certified in order to sell...
