I wondered how to find out the regulations on plumbing work in terms of insulation?

The plumber at my dads house in Norfolk has done some new pipework in the cellar and the pipes aren't insulated. I don't know if this is correct. I didnt specify - anyone know how to check if there is a regulation for this?

Thanks

Not sure there are any regs - none I know of, anyway - mandating insulation but if the cellar is unheated, especially in Norfolk, it would definitely be best to have the pipes insulated or there will be freezing and flood risks in the winter. Fortunately, if the builder can't/won't do it, it's a very simple DIY job.

      I didn't say wedge it "slightly" open. I meant to wedge it fully open.

      I have a rescue Spanish greyhound (galgo) from the charity mentioned above. You can contact Greyhounds in Need or one of the more local Kent greyhound rescue charities. They are fantastic family dogs. They do love walkies 2 or 3 times a day but they actually don't need to be walked too far and then they will happily loaf around on the sofa being very chill. They are brilliant with kids but not recommended if you own a cat as they have a strong prey drive. They also should be kept on the lead in local parks. They prefer to be around other sight-hounds (well my one does) and there are loads of local sighthound owners in Peckham, Crystal Palace etc and a very lively WhatsApp group that is brilliant if you need dog sitting as you can usually find someone to do that for free in return for you looking after the dog at a later date etc.

      @Jenijenjen I assure you we are always polite and friendly too! Which is why the behaviour we have been receiving is so frustrating. The kids always leave her with a “Thank you have a lovely day”  Our concern is leaving the gate slightly wedged doesn’t stop the action of slamming it open and closed…still leading to damage

      If you're talking about who I think you are, I find them more exuberant than rude and usually smiling and polite. But then, I'm usually smiling and polite to them. Can you not wedge open your gate when you're expecting them?
