Periodically walk over it then though the house, preferably over a light coloured floor covering. SWMBO's reaction will help you gauge whether it's dry or not.

Hi Gus, Thanks for the comments, appreciate it. As joe90 said it's only to support a shelf, which will have some wood and other items on it. I'm also an engineer, although the aerospace kind by training (now I fly for a living) so completely get where you're coming from. This is only a DIY Pizza oven project. Anything more serious I would be getting a professional in! Anyway...it turned out OK, apart from the rendering which is awful! Cheers, Ed

By no means a disastrous sum. Looks the biz.

Speak to Visqueen - they will do you a detail.

Just use a fan coil in summer house. 15mm tee'ed into main flow lines from ASHP to house. About 12m of pipe in each direction.

That’s a big opening I might stop and re think this situation, we don’t know enough about the whole job. can you not enlarge that timber so it spans the same opening and only needs the fixings into the brickwork above.

Honestly ? The stair is slightly less wonky . I did get a partial refund . They were very apologetic. Tbf they didn’t ignore me and did deal with the issue as best as possible . I suggest if you are tempted to get a quote from them PM me and I’ll give you my details ; as that would equally show faith in them from my part .

2.8kw cooling is actually a fair amount for a very insulated house in the U.K, assuming you have shading/overhangs. Our calculated cooiing load was <1kW from what I remember. The thing is, and I didn't realise this at the time, those numbers are based on: - Water temp of 7C which isn't particulatly efficient. - Air temp of 28C But post-MVHR air temperature is never 28C assuming you keep internal temperature under control. If external temperature is 41C, internal temperature is 21C and MVHR efficency 90% you are looking at closer to 23C. And, if post-MVHR temp is 23C and not 28C cooling power is only 75% of what is quoted. On top of that, you can't really compare cooling power of Comfopost with cooling power of fancoil if you need run mvhr on boost to increase cooling, as it's cooling warmer incoming air, not air at existing room temperature. A simpler approach to stopping first-floor heating up via MVHR on all but the very hottest days is to turn MVHR to minimum during the day on very hot days. Not as effective, but lot simpler..

Hi John, what's the floor area and the floor construction inc covering your UFH is in? Was this ground floor only, or upper floors Bungalow so ground floor only. 192m² area, UFH at 300mm centres. 200mm PIR with UFH pipes stapled to insulation. 100mm concrete screed. Summer house also well insulated.

You don't. They do.

We ended up going with Urban Front, it is an amazing door but cost an arm and a leg.

Our local LPA say they are protecting their Planning Officers who have been subject to abuse. They no longer publish which PO is assigned a case and will not respond to any calls/messages regarding a live application. If/When they come out for a site visit you'll be told there's no officer assigned, they now share duties. If you want to discuss an application you have to do a pre-app. They're gaming the system, increasing the cost of an application and reducing the time from validation to decision.

Yeah, I think this 'we refuse to talk to our customers' thing is just making everything much slower and more resource intensive - for the LPA as well as the applicant. In my case, I've now put in one pre-app (the seller had also put in one), two applications, two appeals, I've just filed my costs with the LPA and I'll submit the original application again on Friday. I'm pretty sure now I'll get to build what I asked for on the pre-app several years ago. If the case officer had read it properly and discusssed it with me for an hour, we could all have saved a couple of years and a lot of resource. This is like doctors refusing to talk to their patients; polititians refusing to talk to their constituents; businesses refusing to talk to their customers (all online businesses?). It's all going to go downhill fast and then someone will discover that a 10 minute chat could avoid work for everyone lasting several years.

Yes Theres nothing to stop us moving sideways All tax free

The removal of the free go is designed to “encourage applicants to engage in pre-application discussions and support the submission of high-quality applications first time round”.

Did you have a miner in there?? (sp)
