  1. Welcome. I'm sure someone will be able to help... Marvin
  2. Except if the controls are exposed the door will be shorter.
  3. As I commented.....
  4. My simple logic always said that the cold would come from the window so I put the radiator under the window, the theory being that the cold air didn't have to travel across the room to warm up. I think I had the idea after standing in a room in front of an open fire with my face hot and my butt cold.
  5. Welcome. Plan your work and work your plan Marvin (Not like me still retrofitting)
  6. +1 lots of external work on timber recently using this.
  7. Good luck and remember: The only stupid question is the one you didn't ask. Marvin.
  8. I am yet to build our acoustic silencer. We don't notice the MVHR on normal but do on boost. More is the cross room sound from the TV or people talking, so I'm think more on the lines of baffles at the ceiling terminals. Has anyone tried that?
  9. Yes has to be less than 2 years old when applying for RHI.
  10. Impressed with the determination! What an education you have received! Thanks for sharing your hard earned knowledge.
  11. I understood, for efficency, the shorter distance between the outside ASHP and the inside buffer tank was the important thing.
  12. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-58959045
  13. TracpipeCC allows the pipe to be run through unvented areas as long as the ends are out of the unvented areas. Now we only have to check the positions of any lintels before finishing the design. Thanks PeterW.
  14. Yes I saw this product but was not sure what they were saying about the outer shell. Thanks.
  15. When discussing the future kitchen design with brother-in-law the route of the gas main came up. Impossible to route gas pipe from main to boiler/cooker unless going through ceiling void or floor void. Can this be done?
  16. Yes, checked our induction hob instructions and the same, so extending the gap between the wall units not a problem but keep an eye on the extractor instructions.
  17. Manufacturers installation instruction may require more than building regulations. I always try to find a copy of the installation instructions before buying to ensure what ever I think I can do, I can, with what I want to buy. Too many times the manufacture installation instructions have "special" requirements which must be adhered to.
  18. Hi. I wondered if you were in a hard water area.
  19. Turn thermostat up. Maybe effected by other heat source. Mine was wifi box.
  20. Yes, but small mark with the marker pen as the mark can come through the paint later which is fine if the mark is right but....
  21. No internal damp and not newly decorated sounds a good thing. Could be pointed over edge of DPC. I have seen this a few times. Path sunk a bit. Any of the rest of the paths the same. Anything to suggest this happens recently or just old history. Note path sunk and wall worry near downpipe.... Buying to live in ok. Buying to do up and sell DPC may need to be verified/installed. Good luck. M
  22. Didn't realise you required a licence to abstract heat from your water on your property, assuming a closed loop ground source heat pump system!
  23. So no DPC? Well that's a problem in itself. Paying cash or needing a mortgage thereby a survey thereby the identification of no DPC?
  24. You should be used to stupid rules.. These however are based on probability. The probability that older people will be less able to bend down or reach up and the probability that people will become older.
