BotusBuild

Mine was a new connection

Or just a simple PIR switch

Retain and re-use the stone where you can if you end up rebuilding. We had to chop a walnut tree down. It is now our breakfast bar 🙂

Welcome and good luck with the conversion. I trust through top half of that internal wall is being replaced 😁

GIT mainly used in software development to hold versions or iterations of development, know as builds. Probably not useful in the OP scenario

There is a train of thought that says in a traditional two storey home (bedrooms upstairs), and depending on levels of insulation applied during the build, that you may not need UFH upstairs. The main question to answer so others can provide improved responses is about the level of insulation and air tightness of the build, and if you have the heat loss figures for the rooms upstairs. Also, what temperatures are you aiming to achieve in those rooms (generally bedrooms are cooler)?

I'm looking for some floor sockets similar to the picture below (single or double) but at a reasonable price (less than three figures!!) I've been searching around and want to avoid the style that has the spring showing. The floor sockets are to be located at the edge of a floor (there is no wall above), not in the middle of a floor area as in this picture, so they do not necessarily have to be flush with the floor as the risk of them being a trip hazard is very low. Anyone know of a reasonably priced item. They can be a single socket.

How about Command strips. Our daughter used these at university to hold a largish mirror on her rented room. Stayed up all year, no problems

@Post and beam, You'll not get comms from Openreach. They talk to their customer, which is not you, it's your broadband provider. I know this from having to deal with BT and Openreach during my working life. Openreach themselves are crap at comes internally let alone externally. For my recent connection I started with Plusnet, and switched to EE on recommendation on here. EE were very good at keeping me informed. I also had a line of sight tree chopping issue. Between switching from Plusnet and EE I did this myself as it was an easy job. As it happens EE would have covered the cost, unlike Plusnet. So, as you can see, choice of BB provider is important. As has been said, persevere, but I do recommend using EE, and I have FTTP.

Was one of those with EE? Good for a few people on here. Was there a common issue causing each failure?

DuckDuckAI responds: Starlink's main competitors include OneWeb, which focuses on connecting underserved areas with its satellite network, and traditional satellite providers like HughesNet and Viasat, which use geostationary satellites but generally offer slower speeds and higher latency compared to Starlink. Each alternative has its own strengths and weaknesses, making them suitable for different user needs.

Keep them coming. Thats exactly what the sites for

The Electrical Installation Certificate you mean?

The change was made when we rented out the house last year. That has come to and end and we are now selling. What brought this to a head was a question on the conveyancer questionnaire. Thanks for all the input.

Come across these guys before. Been around a long time, and they make good kit. Locals installer available (Cornwall) so will be in touch with them.

Clarified OP

Does anyone know of a good independent battery storage review and comparison source? Looking for 1. something to install before panels (retrofit something later, money flow), 2. charge at low rates, use during high rates, 3. flexible control (doesn't necessarily have to be simple to use although that's a bonus) 4. Modular so can add storage if required at a later date 5. Preferably not Chinese origin, or US come to think of it ( to be more specific, I dont want any data going their way, so if contains components I'll suck it up) 6. Whole house automatic backup in event of power failure

We got a kitchen on supply only. The after sales service has been diabolical. More than not recommending, we will be actively discouraging anyone who asks to avoid them like the plague.

But not mandatory?

Hello electrical experts/trades people. I had an old consumer unit replaced with an 18th regs compliant version last year. No change to the circuits was involved. Should I have received a certification or testing report and/or building control document from the installer?

Is that a joke in the circumstances?

Is there a wall opposite that you could brace against? If so, CT1 and brace both ends and the middle of the trim against the opposite wall while it sets off (give it 24 hours)

If you're not happy doing it yourself, yes, get an electrician

Agreed, I presume you would only be replacing the door and the roof, leaving everything else untouched ( but maybe repainted 🙂)

Yes, you are effectively maintaining the existing structure.
