Are you allowed to make a wooden (same material as door)/ metal ramp the shape as indicated by @Roger440 and then fix it down to make it 'permanent' .

H mmm several members of my family think this way - I think you are supposed to make an effort (well somebody is!)

Good question - Welcome to THE forum for people like us - they look great in the showroom but not sure about longevity. You can usually access them by removing the inner pane of glass and the double / triple glazed unit is on the outside. So servicing is possible in the ones I have seen.

Can you see all the way to open sky through that crack?

Interesting I was taking to our insurance company and they are reckoning we need around £4K /sqM as a rebuild estimate for ours, also in SE! So somebody knows something I guess.

Yes - seen it, sadly my work for the block has gone on the back burner as work, build, family, looking after friends with issues and otherwise life has slowed me down. Will get back to it though. I did play with ESP-NOW to help a student with their project last session, worked well but limited number of nodes in network if you want security (and that is pretty basic) but sounds like a good fit for @Radians challenge.

Hi. You can go onto the land registry and register an interest to stop them getting it or saying it has been in their possession, for a long time. Essentially they will need exclusuve use, and to fence it for 10 years then they must advertise for the owners to come forward and then wait two further years. So it's a long way off but that does not solve the immediate problem for that you need legal advice.

Which one?

Crumbs - that sounds awful. Usually the two dwellings, yours and theirs, have separate water and electric systems but this does not sound to be the case. You probably need to get it checked by your water and electricity suppliers.

I dimly recall that in early schemes the payment was made on some notional export amount as they had no way of actually measuring it - smart meters tend to sort this one but may not have in your case. SO maybe yes / maybe no!

Looks like a little job for an Rpi, some current transducers, a small UPS, and a couple of contactors to shut the DC down as the grid power is turned off and then bring it back up in the correct order when power is restored. MIght work with a simpler scheme of just driving the DC contactors from the mains with a small on delay. Wish I had time to play.

Not sure cables are large enough for much power are they? It looks like some sort of controlled heat exchanger hot water, from some where else (is there anywhere else heat is coming from?) and some sort of valve and pump control the UFH circulation. Can you get the cover off?

Is there anything written on the box? No LED ON indicates not running, is there a thermostat somewhere that is not calling for heat or some time switch set to off?

Where did you find that figure - I was wondering how it would work for E7.

The big housebuilders are now getting into it - fully automated factories making Pods. https://www.property118.com/the-first-of-22-berkeley-modular-homes-are-being-built-in-greenwich/ an more on this here: https://www.berkeleygroup.co.uk/about-us/who-we-are/our-brands/berkeley-modular

Just tell them you want it gone and let them worry about how to make it look right as I suspect that is what they are worried about.

Would anybody die in a ditch if we edit the title of this thread to read: "Relocating boiler to under-stairs cupboard"?

And what about those of us on LPG I wonder.

Looks like a plan just get it as far from the door as you can so you don't get stale zones.

Maybe for a few years you need to get organised but then - when the kids have gone to Uni and beyond things will settle down. I worry that we size for the maximum using one scheme (ASHP) when doing it for the average and then having a strategy for maximum (immersion ++) would be better.

WHAT!

? for clarity - perhaps you mean RS485?

Which software are you using? MVHR should improve your heatloss as it warms the incoming air from the heat embodied in the outgoing air.
