PVM :D gazdaz36, After initially telling me over the phone that the parts were not available he then said, 'I'll get someone to call you with prices.' I said 'great', thinking that BG would use some different source and advise me of the new prices. No....when BG rang back he was...

Hi guys, To follow up ; The initial BG engineer arrived via an appointment, got out his laptop and started tapping away then turned to me and said that the parts have now been ordered. :shock: :?: I asked how comes as he has not touched the appliance to identify the required parts. 'I...

Paul348, looks good. What was your floor area ? and roughly what was the cost to have it liquid-screeded ? Oh, one more thing please, how effective is the UFH... does it nicely warm the room? or, does it just take the chill off ? Thanks.

Hi guys, I have read many threads regarding the make-up and installation of a concrete floor. All seem to vary some what, due to installers preference. So using that information as guidance I have had the make-up for my floor, only to change it again, then again and again and again...

Ooooh... guys, you just threw me a curve ball there ! I think I will be definitely following Woody's plan A. Thanks.

Cheers Woody. Mikric, The missus is set on all this glazing, so I'm not sure that I want to take a chance of getting appointed with a flexible BCO. Thanks all the same. I think next time I move, i'll make sure its to Rushcliffe. One more thing guys, the plan was also to install a back...

Thanks leew2, yes, I was looking at the B&Q dooors and I too was going to ask if I could 'minus' the frame as you mentioned. But obviously FMT has answered already....damn! I thought I cracked it! Woody, that sounds like a plan. :wink: As I will be installing 3 rsj's, I am intending to...

FMT, thanks for that.

Thanks to everyone who posted. I now understand how to workout the 25% new-glazing rule. After doule-checking my drawings, the extension area (2.7x5.7) =15.4m2 So with all your help, I calculate that my allowed glazing area = 7.36m2 With a proposed glazing area of 9.1m2 I will exceed...

Ok guys, sorry if I haven't made myself clear but at the moment I'm still in the design stage... so no brick laid or foundation dug. FMT Proposed glazed area = 9.1m NOT 12.62 which I quoted in Post #5 The first thing that I would like to understand is the 25% of the 'floor area'...

Thanks for the replies guys but to be honest I'm still unclear by your annswers. Mikric, No under Nottingham. Existing floor areas :- kitchen 3.3 x 3.2m living rm 1.9x3.2m =16.64m2 Existing window (a single bay) :- 650x1300 1400x1300 650x1300 = 3.51m2 As per post #1...

Hi guys, My project is a single store rear extension 3m x 5.7m (externally) made up of 100+100+100 wall costuction with the following windows/doors ; window 1200x1200mm tri-fold doors 2400x2100mm 2 x roof lights 1340x980mm However, after coming across the following thread...

Thanks for your replies guys. I have being speaking to a chap at Parts Centre who has told me that they can get the parts from GlowWorm, 7-10 days. He has given me part no.s and their prices. I since have phoned BG to query the eningeer's report, or lack of. Upon reading his notes on...

Hi guys, just after a bit of info/advise, thanks. GlowWorm Inset BBU 50 - GC 44 047 02 I have had the BG Homecare package for about 4 years now without any incident, till yesterday. After an annual inspection the engineer has turned off the gas supply at the meter (BBU50 being the only...

Thanks Noseall. In my post #9 (above), you will see that I have already been reading and taking your advise, as my option 1 is directly taken from your earlier posts to other members. :D Can I ask you though, what do you think of my option 2 ? Thanks.

Well, bearing this in mind, I am leaning towards option 2 -> 2 courses of trench blocks of a 475mm deep footing arriving me to 75mm below ground level. jmc200 - Just out of curiosity why don't you like trench blocks ?

No, I'm starting sometime early next year, when hopefully I'll have it all clear in my head! I have had a structural engineer round to work out some beam sizes and spoke to him about the footings. He told me dig an inspection hole so he could take a look next time he's round. He also said...

Thanks guys. Can I get you's to have a quick look over plan and tell what you think. Roughly to have a 1000mmx600mm trench (subject to BCO approval) and then continue with one of the following 3 options. Alll of which should bring me to DPC level. Option 1 Fill trench with concrete 625mm...

Is there a reason why you pour concrete 3 courses below ground level, rather than, say 1 course below ground level and brickup from there ?

Thanks for replying jm2000. The outer leaf will be brick finished. Yes I am aware that I can use engineering/blue bricks. What I'm really after is clarification on which of the materials listed in #1 is suitable for use 225mm below the ground level.
