  1. 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
  2. 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
  3. 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
  4. 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.
  5. See this topic on here Which flavour of Rockwool?
  6. 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!!
  7. 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
  8. Could you post a site plan showing tree position and actual height, may be just one corner needs deeper footing!!
  9. There are always small quantities of render and mesh on marketplace, and easy to darken/lighten the colour with a cement colouring powder!
  10. 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!!
  11. Kooltherm K108 is an advanced partial fill cavity wall insulation solution. It has a thermal conductivity of 0.019 W/mK and can achieve the same wall U-value as alternative products with a much thinner profile. Its low thermal conductivity can maximise usable internal floor space. Did the Sap consultant mean you to use this product?

    Asbestos removal

    We had a 6 yard skip from local waste operator for stripping old bungalow, lined with a https://www.123bigbags.com/uk/asbestos-bags/asbestos-removal-bags-355x170x115?channable=4060eb6964003538320e&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIhsTV5_uz_gIVpO_tCh191Q5eEAYYASABEgJzUfD_BwE and paid for weight and haulage! Good quality masks and PPE and hosepipe running continuously, think about 3 ton in total. Recall about £1200.
  13. Bob Here is a 3 phase diverter https://mk2pvrouter.co.uk/3-phase-version.html I have had single phase running from Robin for 8+ years, no problems. Joe.
  14. https://www.jaymart.co.uk/ offer a good service very knowlegable.
