This sounds like a good plan. Thanks all for your help, very much appreciated

3 of the 4 walls are internal walls ie aren't insulated whereas the one external wall and the ceiling have 150mm PIR. Extraction works fine up to the 10 mins mark, no obvious signs of condensation etc but when the kids go for their long dramatic showers it turns into a rainforest. All windows...

Right, could be onto something with the door gap, eye balling it looks to be 4-5mm on average. If 10mm is the minimum... What's the ideal? Guessing not much more as poor aesthetics would come into play. Teenagers..... Unfortunately the window opening is over the bath and fairly high ie I know...

Got the below, one of the highest L/m I could find that fits rigid pipe (unfortunately a few models have ridges on them that mean despite being advertised for 100mm they don't actually fit within). Walls and ceilings have 150mm PIR and the radiator is on 22c the whole time although the surface...

Renovated a bathroom 2 years ago, took it back to brick and started again basically. Did the research, rigid ducting being better than flexible etc, short runs as possible, extractor close to shower and so forth. Yet the condensation in the bathroom after a long shower (anything over 10 mins) is...

music to my ears :) thank you

Re insulation thickness, current plan is flexible insulation between the 75mm rafters, 100mm PIR on top (i.e. 175mm in total). Calcs get me to around the 0.15 requirement but think i've got leeway up to 0.35 given age of property

Hi, thanks for responding. I'm hoping it is just that aspect but how can I know 100%? Basically don't want to avoid the loft conversion status i.e. lose 2 bedrooms from a value perspective

Had a loft conversion 20 years ago, signed off by building control at the time (as it met the standards at the time). I am now looking to turn it from a cold roof to a warm roof and as I'm in a conservation area, it requires planning permission and building control sign off. My question is...

hopeful... bump...

Please, anyone?

Hello Think best I just jump in and describe the situation and hopefully someone a lot smarter than me can steer me in the right direction. - moved into house 2 years ago and old lime plaster walls were blown and sash windows rotten, replaced with modern gypsum plaster and UPVC windows (i.e...

So you're thinking A is the best option?

Think I might have posted this too early in the morning and it's got lost Any thoughts appreciated

Hello Previous owners had an extension built that basically acts as an independent structure with it's own boiler, consumer unit etc... and it's own roof. Didn't think anything of it when we moved in 2 years back but the valley where the two roofs meet has been a source of leaks, partly due to...

Just to update, with the case temporarily removed, it appears prolonged slamming of the door (by wonderful kids) had twisted some parts. With the latch removed the lock now fully engages. Obviously not a permanent fix but for now allows the door to open/closed and be locked. We plan to replace...

Brilliant, thanks both, will dismantle today and get some dimensions. As an aside, is there a way I can get notifications to replies on here? Thought I'd get an email or something so missed these last night

Having issues with the door lock and latch for our french doors to the garden. The latch is stuck within its case, the handle moves freely up and down but zero movement from the latch. This has been a long term issue. Recently, the lock itself is refusing to engage in the keep. The door seems...

I think this is the best way forward too, thanks
