I am currently in the process of building an extension to my house! It's basically across the back of the house, single storey with a vaulted ceiling. Internal dimensions are 3.3 x 5.7 (vaulted ceiling is 2.2 mtr upto 3.0 mtr) basically a lean to. I will be removing the existing patio doors (dining room) and also the kitchen window. Then knocking down the wall between the dining room and kitchen. Making into a large open plan room. I will be removing the existing rad in the kitchen and fitting cupboards, so there will be no room. The kitchen is 3.0mtrs x 3.6mtrs x 2.3mtr high. The radiator is (i think) a type 21 with dimensions of 600 x700. The dining room is 2.7 x 3.2 x 2.3mtr high with another 600 x 700 type 21 rad. This is staying! The rear is east facing and will be fully insulated and have patio doors and 3 Windows. The house is a four bed detached and has a 15.5 kw boiler(powermax) I know that other houses identical to mine have the same boiler and we're built with the garage being an extra reception room.
What I'd like to know is what size rad I will require to heat the new extension and also compensate for the lost rad in the kitchen.
Is this acceptable with regards to building regs?(does the kitchen have to have a radiator?) Can I fit a plinth/kick board heater to get around this??
Any advice would be much appreciated before I put it to my local BCO
