I mean both really. We have a public footpath through our garden and was told the standard width was 3m when we had it diverted along the boundary. Ive always assumed that was the width they wanted for footpath alongside a road but haven't seen any documentary evidence/law that supports this.

+1 3m is the standard width of a public footpath.

Presumably you mean sound insulation because it wouldn't make sense to thermally insulate the outside unit.

I'd be setting up CCTV cameras to catch them if they go spraying weedkiller.

Think I'd just do this. Since you have steels both sides.. What's the loading like? Would they need to be something other than the lightest of lightweight blocks?

We hang our washing on a rack in the bathroom. Despite being used for three showers a day clothes dry in 12-18 hours thanks to the mvhr. It doesn't take much air flow to dry clothes this time of year wen the air is dry.

Sorry for the delay in replying. On 24/7 ours consumes around 2.5-3kWh a day or 105-125W. That's about 1000 kWh a year or £350 pa at the capped rate.

Just thought I would go to the horses mouth so to speak.. eg Approved Doc J. I know that's not actually the Building Regs but... So sure a raised surface is only "a way" of achieving the requirements but the intent seems clear. The idea is to discourage people putting carpet/rugs too close.

Available December!

Possibly this 5 port switch just 40mm * 40mm. https://botblox.io/switchblox-industrial/ A sizable December?

Our stove gets about 3 mm taller when hot and this caused some movement at the joint between stove and stove pipe. Doesn't seem to have caused a leak though. I guess I should throw in a reminder to install Carbon Monoxide detectors in any/all rooms with a stove or flue.

I'm sure there are PC programs/apps that you can use to do this yourself. It looks like Wren Kitchens have a free web based program but I've not tried it... https://www.wrenkitchens.com/kitchen-design/online-planner?Kenshoo_IDA=Search&utm_id=google_14122437787_124682458759_630671511573_kwd-10731526_m_&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIjZeEmLvR-wIViNPtCh2ffgD5EAAYASABEgJh3vD_BwE There might be limitations to prevent you taking the design elsewhere?

+1 It almost looks too uniform in colour to be wet. I wonder if its been painted with a sealer?

If they are weep vents/tubes they look blocked with mortar?

From what I've heard the grey coated eps systems like that Polypearl make is the best technology to go for. The coating sticks the beads together no/less risk of them all pouring out of a hole or slumping. In the end the quality of the job will be down to the installer and I don't know if Polypearl make and install or just make the stuff and use contractors to install?

No dont think so. I believe its done like a funnel so that any tar/condensate/rain running down the inside of the flue doesn't leak out of joints but ends up in the stove.

I would only use a washable emulsion for top coat if I was building again. Nothing but Zinsser in bathrooms.

PS It must also be a CC not DC.

+1 But check the rules. If its your name on the order it must be your card eg not your wife's. The payment must be towards the frame not a separate fee for "design services" or "delivery" etc.

Can't see an obvious DPC but there appears to be a line of circular marks in the mortar just above the air brick. Are these weep vents of some sort?

Many carriers in Europe expect you to have an EORI number. I don't believe this is required by governments but many carriers have had problems accounting for VAT since Brexit and I've heard its now just their policy to request one. I believe individuals can apply for a UK EORI number but I dont know anyone that has.

Im a bit late but sometimes it's easier just to replace the flexible tails that come with the tap to ones that have the right other ends. Not always possible but I've done that. I also fitted isolation valves between the tails and the copper pipe.

Same here.

I don't believe the above meets Building Regulations. Assuming the stove is certified not to raise the Hearth above 100C then the stove should be on a sheet of glass/slate/granite or similar about 12mm thick to meet Diagram 27(a) in Approved Documents J.. See page 38 and 39. https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/combustion-appliances-and-fuel-storage-systems-approved-document-j The idea is to prevent rugs creeping too close to the fire by providing a small step The other dimensions for this are in Duagram 26.

Will anything need to connect into these stacks just above the ffl? Plan ahead as the availability and height of branches can be limiting. Don't really want a shower tray on a 1ft high plinth.
