  1. Your local decorator centre trade paint will be the best bet. Dulux, crown or Johnson, or independent like Brewers etc but you need a proper trade account to get a good price. Crown own Farrow and Ball so might be a good choice if you want a lot of their colours as they have the recipe on computer so can match it exactly
  2. This may be helpful to someone: https://www.cormarcarpets.co.uk/tog-values/
  3. Also i thickened the stud wall, partly for sound deadening and partly to get an exact fit for the 1700 shower tray
  4. I didn't bother with a premoulded tray. Just moisture resistant plasterboard, tanking kit and then tiles and grout. Although I did use epoxy grout as I can't be doing with dirty grout
  5. Usually double rafters around a velux, but depends on size of velux. Has a roof truss company supplied this? If not worth getting a quote from them
  6. The wise architect groups the bathrooms together above the ground floor wc...
  7. You need a structural engineer
  8. Schneider lisse are my go to white sockets of a decent quality and price
  9. No, just buy something from Argos if you want that sort of quality
  10. Chimney balloon might be what you are looking for
  11. Without pictures of the actual roof nobody can start to advise you. Have you got a selfie stick you could aim towards the offending area when you at eaves level?
  12. Spanish style window nets?
  13. Visually it looks better and you don't want to spend time and money making an air tight insulated house then put loads of holes for pipes in it
  14. Tilting fillets are not continous, but a wedge cut and nailed to each rafter
  15. Its resting on an eaves felt support tray https://www.roofingsuperstore.co.uk/product/rigid-felt-support-trays.html
  16. To fit ufh pipes you definitely don't need the house to be watertight
  17. 50% of the land includes your front and side gardens, but excludes the land sold off in 2000
  18. Use a screw from an easier switch/socket until you can replace it e.g. single light switch
  19. Planning permission is not really the problem. You just need to enforce the contract that you have with the developer or negotiate a discount. Personally I would prefer tarmac!
  20. I looked at a few online calculators and 16mm² kept coming up. I unearthed the incoming mains and it looks like 16mm² swa. At 2pm on a Saturday most electrical wholesalers are closed, except one which had 19m 16mm² 4 core SWA, so that was just long enough and has gone in!
  21. If it was a fairly straight line I would put a duct with a rope in, but I don't want to risk it with the route the cable will go
  22. Its 50ft from the house incoming mains to the proposed garage
  23. Our existing 3 phase electric layout is as shown in the attached diagram. I am planning to demolish the existing garage and build a new one elsewhere on the plot and am digging a trench for water and electric. I'm trying to decide what size of armoured cable to run. I don't need 3 phase (for any tools etc), but I am wondering about future ev chargers Mains Supply Design.pdf
  24. I meant that the bottom fee rows are in a straight line, but if you put a string line from the ridge to the corner of the house, these bonnets (although in a straight line) would not be on the string line
