renovation project in Yorkshire

Featured Replies

Hi

I hope to start renovation of small “3 bedroom” Victorian terrace house. House is called by us “the tower”- four storeys including basement. Structural building is sound and looks bit over engineered.

what we plan to do:

moving up first floor section around 15 cm to get some headroom in basement

knock down wall between two so called “bedrooms” to get one proper size  

insulation -IWI PIR on external walls, wool inside roof

heating system –radiators connected to manifold with attenuators and  central control

plumbing for cold and hot water on manifolds

ventilation with heat recovery

some tweaks on electric wiring

intercom , proper burglar alam system etc.

and of course like always decent bathroom and general refurbishment

Generally I can make everything myself (and calculate it before) J

 As you know rules of physics are same all over the world. Sorry  that we can’t tell same about building regulations.

I will try to place my questions in proper section of forum and share my knowledge with others

huck

 

Hi and welcome to the forum.

 

That sounds enough to keep you out of mischief for some time. I am sure you will find the forum useful.
