Hello Changes. Thank you very much for your reply. I really appreciate it. It is really helpful to know that this can be done. Thank you also for attaching the copy of the type of opening you wanted (and acheived!). That is also the exact type of opening I would like. I'll talk over things with...

Thanks very much Changes and Ventura Heat for your replies. It's really helpful. May I ask you Changes do you mean that you got your actual fireplace lintel (standard height of 30inches or so) lifted to the height you wanted and that you widened it too when you say the builder put in two lintels...

Hello, may I ask your advice please. Builder left opening in chimney for just a fireplace (height to lintel will be only 30 inches from finished floor level). However, I had hoped to put in a large/tall stove as a feature point and now realise that opening is too small i.e. flue position is too...

Thanks very much for your advice Betsy Og :)

Hello, may I ask what is the difference between a Combi Condensing Boiler and a Condensing Boiler? What does one do over the over, if you know what I mean? Thanks very much.

Hello, I wonder if anyone has Siemens kitchen appliances (fridge, freezer, hob, dishwasher, washing machine etc.etc.) and if they are happy with them / recommend them? The person that is doing up my kitchen provides Siemens appliances. I have no experience of this brand at all as this is my...

Hello, Could I ask advice from those who have either an oil stove or a solid fuel stove in their house. I will be putting one in, just for space heating, but have equal amount of people telling me to put in an oil stove (as I have oil running underfloor heating also) and others telling me to put...

Hello, may I ask advice on whether to chose an oil stove or a solid fuel stove. I am getting different advice whoever I talk to; some say definitely go with oil as it is maintenance free, good constant level of heat and more economical than solid fuel (which is costly to buy) plus no fuel...

Hello, I would really like to use a vinyl type flooring (i.e. karndean/amtico/or good quality lino) and carpets (in bedrooms) with my underfloor heating (in new build). However, some of the flooring shops I have visited say tiles and wood are the best for underfloor heating and others say that...

Thanks very much Copper Beach for your reply - it's great to get positive feedback. Will check out the stone carpet you talk about too - I had never heard of that. By the way, do you happen to know anything about Karndean or Marmoleum? Thanks again.

Hello, I wonder if anyone has any experience of using the above flooring in their home and what their opinion is? I am not keen on tiles or wood so I am considering Karndean/Amtico/Marmoleum flooring options instead. I have no practical experience of these type floors at all so would really...

Re: Flooring - Amtico/Karndean/Marmoleum? Hello, may I ask if anyone has used Amtico or Karndean on their floors and are they happy with it? I am building at the moment and I am thinking ahead for my flooring. I am not keen on wood or tiles and saw these products (Karndean and Amtico) in a...

Hello everyone, THANK you soo very much for all your replies and going to the bother of giving me your advice. I am very grateful. Hindsight is 20/20 vision and if I had known what I know now (and realised that electricians should be able to give advice), I would have paid some other independent...

Hello, I am doing the first fix with electrician on my new build. He does not offer ANY advice whatsoever just waits for me to point out places on walls for sockets/TV/phone/internet/lites and, being totally new at this, am worried that I am missing some obvious sockets that I cannot think of...

Re: Key Post: Triple Glazing. Hello, I am wondering does triple glazing just come in window form or can you get it in doors too. What I mean is that I am getting triple glazed PVC windows in my new build and have 3 glass PVC back/side doors and wondered would triple glaze be coming in the doors...
