  1. Thanks Dave. that is what I initially thought but just wanted reassurance!
  2. Thanks Damo. I agree with you, but if selling the plot on would outline be enough for a potential Buyer? Or go full planning route where our design may not suit potential purchaser!
  3. Looking for advice as nearly completed our new chalet bungalow in place of the old 1930 bungalow. Have access to the rear garden down side of New build. (3.3m width) Brief history 424A built in early 80s not allowed rooms in roof! 420A Annexe is a converted garage with a conservatory attached. 420 recently developed extra rooms and new dormers in the roof area. 418 extensions front and rear sometime in the 90s Do we go for outline planning for a 2 bed single storey bungalow or put in a full application?? Pre app advice from planning is a couple of hundred ponds more than outline or full planning! The site area would be 27m deep by 14m narrowing to 13m at top of garden area. Advice and any ideas would be appreciated.
  4. HI is this any good. Search Dakar Kronospan I thinlk! https://www.atlantictimber.co.uk/DAK18570.html?gad_source=1&gclid=CjwKCAiA3ZC6BhBaEiwAeqfvyqMdQHQ4iasy9-z7XZpGa7IEwbOR_F5vsywyn0SYaXkOuZJTMgceiRoCaHoQAvD_BwE
  5. Have you looked at Kerto Lvl as would think 2 x 195 x 75 bolted together would be easier than a flitch beam. https://www.specifiedby.com/metsae-wood/finnjoist-i-beam/Metsa-Wood_Finnjoist-I-Beam_Brochures_Finnframe-Floor-System.pdf
  6. 225 x 45 c24 is a heavy frame to stand up! I think you would need lifting gear for all exterior panels. Have a look at this video series for wood fibre. https://www.cairncollab.com/buildingpassivevideoseries/v/bishop-passive-house-introduction
  7. www.philmac.co.uk Down near me and have stockists around the country. Have a good technical department Philmac Diplocks Way, Hailsham, East Sussex England, BN27 3JF 01323 847323 0800 590028
  8. From pictures, it looks like a sheared fitting!! Broken piece should unscrew off imperial tee piece, same for fitting on the 25mm poly and replace? Would recommend a short section of 25mm with good curve, the pipe looks like it has been under strain with ground movement.
  9. HI Jamie. Interested in the Zender unit will send you a PM
  10. See this topic on here Which flavour of Rockwool?
  11. A bit late to reply, but make your own insulation saw!! Take an old standard wood saw and grind teeth on each side down, so it just has teeth and will cut through rockwool like butter!!
  12. I would recommend the RWA45 packs. 100mm and 50mm always on offer online. Easy to cut to tight fit with insulation saw. I cut 2 pieces out of a 600x1200 and very small amount of waste. 2 layers of 100mm in between rafters will stay in place, no problem1
  13. Could you post a site plan showing tree position and actual height, may be just one corner needs deeper footing!!
  14. There are always small quantities of render and mesh on marketplace, and easy to darken/lighten the colour with a cement colouring powder!
  15. A cheaper option is to render with a mesh and base coat then thin coat render such as parex. Robust finish that can take water splashing!!
