  4. +1 to the eyewash recommendation These are less than £10 and worth every penny Steroplast Eyewash Pod Station https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00CRLPB6S/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_RSwnyb68NVT0W One of these will keep the HSE happy but supplement it with a big box of plasters ! Steroplast 10 Person HSE First Aid Kit With Wall-Mountable Case https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00JFRY9TC/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_KTwnybXS1NDMD And don't forget the accident book ...!

  5. Consider two first aid boxes ..... Ours is in the cabin but that's often locked. So I've bought a second First Aid box and put it in my Land Rover: no point in trying to lock that. So you might want to have two first aid signs. I'm about to put up a prominent sign telling everyone where the eye wash is. Yes, a gust of wind the other day blew a load of ash from the site fire (from the old shed) into my face as I walked by. I was wearing safety glasses. But with my recent record of bad luck and bad judgement, I thought it prudent to get some eye wash. Consider a Keep Out sign I can't remember where I read it, but if you don't formally tell people to keep out of the site (and fence it off) then anyone might reasonably assume that they have permission to enter.

  6. I do question the logic by your architect here .... By just doing the roof make up suggested - and at this point the focus is on thermal efficiency not air tightness - you would end up with a roof value of 0.11. If you then add a 32.5mm insulated plasterboard you are at 0.1 at a future point. The key is air tightness and doing the partial fill at rafter and sealing either with a VCL or taping the joints will give you that - your other choice to get to a 0.12 would be 400mm of rock wool at ceiling height which scuppers your idea of converting at a later date.

  7. One which didn't make it through: What about 70mm PIR x3 Or x2 which may shave costs due to 70mm being a sweet spot (due to that thickness just meeting building regs for floors?) Often 70mm celotex is cheaper than 60mm iirc. Ferdinand

  8. We removed the majority of our site fencing once the scaff came down and we had a front door on the house - i,e. it was secure but mostly because it kept banging in the wind and blowing over last winter. We still have a few scabby heras panels blocking a gap in the hedge, to be honest the neighbours have been asking us when they're going as its a bit of an eyesore. Back to your builder, was there any agreement on this in the original contract (guessing not)?
