👆?

Seems a lot of ball ache for such a small area (don’t shout, just saying ).

Remember that the airflow rate will be quite high for cooling, think of every hotel you’ve stayed in, so audibility will be something you won’t obliterate.

Eh? For tiles THEY broke??!? “Get F*****D would be my reply to that. Just “no”, with no further discussion. They have a legal obligation afaik regarding warranty. I'm not so sure they can just unplug that, but it may be that their standard (obligatory) 90 days is all they have to provide, and the sales patter extended that ‘courtesy’ by 9 months. TBH I doubt these lot would come back and honour it anyways so just write that off imho. Any decent sparky will come and do an EHIC(?) so you’d be covered by that via 3rd party sparky. Pay the £3k you owe, withhold the £2k, which I think is (more than) fair and pragmatic, plus demonstrates you wish to resolve ‘amicably’. They may just go and crawl back under their stone then and leave sleeping dogs lay.

The airflow would be reversed to what you’ve shown here? Cooled air is always sent out high?

I knew if I left the worm on the hook long enough I’d get a bite lol.

It’ll feck your MVHR flow up quite a bit? You’re suppose to recirculate the air in the room, boss Last one I did this on I installed 2x 92mm Ubbink radial runs to letterbox sized extract points (22x 225mm) with one in each far corner of the room vs 100% of the airflow at the one vent (for sound mostly, but also for more even flow of the cooled air throughout the room). The bedrooms with direct cooling had a communal attic space with vaulted ceilings, so the idea was to have the FCU grille in the vertical wall direct off the FCU, flow the air in at the top and let it blanket down, across the whole bedroom, and then exit via the 2x letterbox grilles (I installed these at socket height to blend in a bit). Using a transfer grille in the landing outside of the bedrooms could see air from bathrooms being pulled towards this, with positive air being forced out of the MVHR inlet. Not. A great idea to not have these properly recirculate, and I wouldn’t do this if it was my own job. Maybe create a pelmet, and use that as the hidden extract point? Without being there it’s a bit sketchy to advise obvs…

Is the frame loose, or now fixed in place?

That’s the kind of crazy I always did, so you’re in good company lol. “Continue”

Ask the regimental electricians and you’ll get told……..”LAMPS!” lol.

Prob 300 if double boarding? Not sure what weight the RB can handle?

Why are you double boarding? Is this for fire resistance? If not, just fit 1x 15mm. If 2x 12.5 then you’ll defo need to be at 400mm oc because of the weight alone.

Cheers. 2.5 would be huge, prob 1.0 or 1.5? OK, my fears of them being 12v is now quashed, so the extra cable run may out of the window (for dealing with the voltage drop) but…… Next thing is, I have a pair of LEDs in my living room, wall wash, and these also the same thing; the second one is slowest to come on but is always the first lamp to blow. I have a Varilight dimmer (from TLC Direct iirc) and the dimmer AND lamps are both ‘dimmable’. If I put a switch on in place of the dimmer, problem goes away. Can you try this please? Turn off the power, put both wires in the switch into a connector block, then have someone else put the power back on / off and report the results plz. Mine don’t ‘blow’ as quickly as yours do but you’ve got a longer circuit.

Adds a good bit to acoustics to do this, but surprisingly few people will pay the extra few £’s to ‘upgrade’. Seems madness as they’re paying to time and materials anyways, so why not do the ceilings in something that makes the house quieter / nicer to be in? 🤷‍♂️.

🙄🤐

You simply refuse to pay anything with the reason being that the job is incomplete due to defects in their workmanship. That’s it. Separate the Scaff claim, that would get binned in the first 60 seconds. Part out the original contract and pursue that uniquely. They sound as thick as 2 short planks tbh, so I doubt they’ve sought 3rd party legal council yet; if they had then they’d have been told that they’re Donald Duck’d.

I’ve a few letters after me. Makes for meticulous workmanship but difficult to sell or value…..

At that price 7kw will cost £6600. You would also need to purchase their roofing system, materials including guttering and down pipes for a roof 230m2 is coming in at £14k. My only problem is finding someone to install the roof, their recommended supplier has come in with a quote of £19k labour only installation! The other option is Roofit, there are a few suppliers in the UK, supply and install is coming in at around £50k for 7kw. If anyone can recommend reasonably priced installer in South Wales I would be very grateful. I may know of someone. I’ll have to check. Carm’s way iirc. I’ll PM you.

Just keep an eye on how the DPM is detailed at the junction of the 2 founds. When you get some drawings, post them up so we can chew the fat. 👌

What voltage and wattage are the bulbs please? PS, calling them bulbs really pee’s off the electricians, so I’ll give you £1 every time you do it “You plant bulbs”……. Yea yea, get over it lol. 😜 I expect the wiring is too small, can you get a second cable to loop from the last (lamp) to the 1st one? This will create a ring and even out the power each…….bulb…….receives. Probably an under-volt issue caused by the drop over the length of the cable, imo.

To be honest, you may be better off with a raft foundation depending on what the average depth is. You also REALLY need to be asking a paid professional such as your structural engineer, as neither you, your builder, nor the 21,200 members on here can tell you definitively what to do to resolve this

I’ve been using CVC Systems (Oxford) for MVHR and ASHP / plant room installs, design / supply / install etc. They’ve done a lot of installs for me over the last few years and I would recommend them in a heartbeat. They do ‘travel’, within reason! 👍. Hope it goes well.

The loft is within the heated, airtight envelope, ya?

Because…….its faulty. If neither were faulty you’d not be posting here Just sounds like a manufacturing defect, so the heats getting to where it shouldn’t be.

Cool. They don’t have a leg to stand on there then, as the extra cost would have had to be raised as a variation order. What a bunch of shit heads. Stick to your guns here and withhold the monies until it’s resolved. Utter tosh! I’d send an email saying you’re applying to the small claims court without further notice, provoked by the zero response. If a CC form is sent out you can contest the validity of their claim and that should halt them in their tracks. Annoyance is you have to pay a fee to reply to it, but that can be added to your claim.
