I'm wondering the same, especially about the drain flow, how's the drain compares the traditional vortex one? I'm bit concern that the drain is super slow if there's form when showering then water will build up and overflow.

Thanks, is your toilet Grohe? Regarding Triple vortex flush I mean the flush is like a vortex when flushed, instead of flushing directly into the hole

I’m feeling quite strange that in UK there’s not much “ siphone” type toilet as it only requires a small amount of water to flush loads. instead here is just the “ direct” flush which I found it’s quite contradicted as it request loads water.

thanks! What do you think of their “triple vortex flush”? did it require multiple flush if putting lots of paper or when there’s a big one;)

Hi I’m renovating my new bathroom and wondering which brand should I go for? In your experience which flush technology is better? Do they splash when flush? Quiet? Easy to broke / leaking? / Ceramic quality What’s your opinion? I don’t like that some toilet require multiple flush, or even...

When you say "lap" do you mean just go over the DPC level, not "inserted" to the wall right? As my wall is already built with the DPC strip in... This is the party wall section from structural engineering drawing so it might just be demonstrating, not as per dimension etc.

Thanks Woody, I believe the builder is gonna do like this, is this called apron DPM? would this suffice?

Thanks all for your reply, is this different requirement based the BC inspector? I'm checking with my BC to see if that is fine, what could be done then? I've attached the floor details from BR and SE drawing.

Hi My builder already put the DPC strip in the brickwork and block work, and already built the cavity wall and brickwork wall, they haven’t but will start doing the floor/ concret etc and told me that the DPM will just go over the DPC level, is that fine? I saw some builder they insert the DPM...

I saw some builder lay the brickwork vertically above the bifold door( potientially on the steel beam), some are not. Why is that? Better structural support or purely decorative? Another question, my builder is confused with this structural section drawing for that part, is the steel beam...

thanks would this be buried underground or it will be above ground when finished? will this affect the quality in the future?

Hi I’m building a single storey extension and builder current laying the DPC, I noticed some of the bricks has hairline cracks. is that normal ? does that matter? thanks

Thanks, our party wall agreement is only build up to line of junction, not astride unfortunately.

The builder said if leave very minimum gap, the air brick won't work so might have damp issue in the future?

Do you mean the parapet wall as a party wall? Building party wall is out of option as requires foundation changes and not part of the planning permission

I thought this should be part of the building reg plan but it seems it doesn't include and they are charging me extra for that... Is this responsible by building reg, building control, or structure engineering drawing? I'm really confused...

haha didn't know my partner posted the same thing!! sorry

Hello! We are building rear extension at the moment, our roof is pitched roof (gable roof) and our neiboughour is shed roof (slope roof), so our roof edge is generally lower than the neiboughour's Our builder said that it's better to have around 100-150mm gap between our extension wall to the...
