Can anyone identify what this vent is for?
Temp replied to SimonC's topic in Lofts, Dormers & Loft Conversions
Traditionally most houses had one or more open stacks (soil pipe) that vents above the roof and possibly others fitted with Air Admittance Valves (AAV) in the house. I think these days not every house on an estate is required to have an open stack so that might explain a mix up. That said some BCO still insist on one per house. Either way no house should have an open vent _in_ the roof space. So if that white pipe is a soil vent I believe it should have an AAV on the top. -
Is this an additional route to getting PP or a replacement? If you wanted to build on the main road through a small village would you be forced to go this route or could you still apply for normal PP?

Reflective insulation actually has to be reflective. See Apollo lunar lander.

I wonder if the pump just fails to start occasionally?

New (to me) nail guns. Where best to get info.

I suppose you could test the gun by nailing their shoes to the floor. -
Google says... The Vaillant F75 error code will display when your boiler can't register a pressure change when the pump turns on. This usually happens because of a faulty pump or if there's a problem with the water pressure sensor. So perhaps check the pump or wiring to the pump.

I hired one for a weekend to build a fence. They have an adjustment on them to control how far in the nails go. Do some test shots on the same thickness of wood and adjust according to the manual and off you go. Main advantage is they give you a free hand to hold the wood in place. Keep well away from kids! -
Vaillant ecoTec Plus 630 boiler not reaching target temp

Weather compensation faulty? -
I would seal the grout as soon as possible and consider more coats than the minimum recommended. I've used a few different makes and they all seem much the same. Some are possibly slightly more matt than others? Will need ventilation.

+1 But I wouldn't just write "Proposed" on them. Write in big letters something like.. "Existing elevation. This application involves NO changes to the external appearance" I doubt it will go to committee but you would be surprised how dumb some of the older members can be. I've sat in the audience at a few meetings and had to bite my tounge. If you just write "proposed" someone might not like it and decide to vote against.

Sorry I've been away from the forum. 13A fuse will work but is too high. I think most heating pumps are <250W so a 3A fuse should be plenty.

The manifold loop pump is needed to circulate water around the floor loops. I suspect without it the return temperature to the boiler might be too high causing it to switch on and off so not delivering 6kW continuously. The pump will eventually be controlled by the room stats and wiring centre which will also open the appropriate actuators. If you want to run the pump without control I would remove the actuator heads so the loops are all on. Turn the mixer down to control the flow temperature. Turn it up gradually to dry the screed. Don't rush it or you will get cracks. Might get them anyway.

4 plumbers out and no fix. UFH not working downstairs. Return pipe cold
Temp replied to Markca's topic in Underfloor Heating
+1 If the supply to the manifold is hot, the actuator(s) are open and the pump is running then something is blocking the flow. Two possibilities are.. 1) Sludge in the pipes. How good a job did the plumber do in flushing the system? 2) The mixer/blender (on the left) is faulty. The only other thing I can think of is that the pump was faulty and they put the new one on the wrong way around. Check the arrow on the pump and compare with your other manifold. -
I don't think that's true if that bit of your land is highway. Thats why the OP needs to know where the highway boundary is. Some houses own the land to the middle of the road.
-
I think that's only needed if it's in a Conservation area or it's listed.
-
OK so in short.. You think their proposed access crosses your land. That's legal if part of your land is public highway. You need to find out. I suggest writing to the highways department enclosing a site plan and ask if they can confirm where the highway boundary lies.
-
I would contact highways and ask them to confirm in writing that the highway extends across the green land as mentioned in the attached deeds. Then write to the planners stating that you do not need planning permission to form an access onto an unclassified highway which the highways department have confirmed includes the green land. If worried about future come back apply for a Certificate of Lawfulness. On the grounds that that highway extends to your property boundary.

AO were cheapest for appliances last time I looked. Great delivery as well.

So did I pre-Brexit. Now you should be charged UK VAT not German, but you can still claim that back.

I think the site is probably too small. 50*200m is about 2.5 acres. https://www.startupdonut.co.uk/start-up-business-ideas/types-of-business/how-to-start-up-a-paintball-centre Although I did Google up some at 12 acres. Google found code of practice from 2016 here mentions rights of way. https://ukpsf.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/Code-of-Practice-For-Paintball-Site-Operators.pdf You could consider asking a planning consultant for a quote to do a quick look at the site and comment verbally on the chances of someone getting PP for paintballing. A written report would only be worth getting if an application was submitted. The reason I suggested it was unlikely to be dangerous is because if granted permission there would likely be a planning condition attached intended to prevent paint balls leaving the site. That might be by erecting netting. If paint balls were to enter your garden on a regular basis i suspect that would put them in breach of their planning permission or amount to a statutory nuisance. Loss of privacy can be an issue that prevents planning being granted but again it might be addressed by the paintball co erecting fencing. I'm not trying to defend paintballing next to your house, just point out how the paint ball co might try and overcome your perfectly understandable objections.
