Happy days. The UFH test kit is simple; connect it to the cold mains and let it rip.

I was sleeping on my feet, and meant to say this earlier….

Forget the north side, and use those panels on the second building. Defo MI’s, and then you can put them all on one string to simplify.

Can you get a handful of PV panels on a garage / outbuilding / ground-mount?

Erm, drop the blade down and put it on the table saw…. £60……. ???

£/w cost is higher than generic, so ROI is lessened. I have asked a few solar partners about these and they say the panels will likely have degraded somewhat by the 15 year anniversary, but also say these do eventually begin to become ‘un-stuck’ with heat / cool cycling over time. The pro is they look a lot nicer obvs.

It’s a dark day when the lunatics are running the asylum…..

He made a simple typo…..it was supposed to say gargantuangenitalboils. Easy mistake. Hope he’s recovering well.

Ask no further. Minimum of 5, if you want to keep up.

Depends how good your plumbing is…….

Hi and welcome. Dig about intensively, as there’s a huge amount of info available here.

Naturally.

Was told by last 2 BCO’s to “fill it full of water” Then you time it and take pics of your phone for stop / start times.

It’s a hand pump and manometer usually. MB’s not Bars as it’s not supposed to see that kind of pressure. Weeps would self-seal anyways.

Block the outlet(s) and fill it all with water.

Yup, if you want the install certified. A lot of people look the other way here tbh. MCS is largely about safety, fixing types, and (in a nutshell) not having solar PV arrays all around the UK flying off in a storm and killing anyone. Stainless fixings only, into timber for the S hooks etc. If this was left ungoverned you’d have people zip tying them to slate hooks…..

More like observed and pacified.

A lot of conflict between ever changing panel sizes, and trays. Both GSE and Easy roof seem slow to get newer sizes through MCS for them to become certified and distributed. Not sure if that's improved recently, but defo something you need to have in check before you order panels / trays.

Knowing what you’re looking at and being able to interject positively / productively is crucial. Too many clients with big balls but zero construction industry experience or knowledge = disaster.

Yes, but take the box all the way to meet the AT layer at the ceiling, so all the cables can go up in an AT riser. Requires zero GAF for the electricians then.

It may be possible that you’re over-thinking the 💩 out of this….. It’s likely to have ‘done’ whatever it needs to do by now anyways. I’ve not poured one yet where it’s a perfect finish, as it varies with thickness etc. Go to the pub instead 🤝👍

"All hail the ale!"

Have the rockwool held in place by zig-zagging bricklayers string-line, stapling it into position side to side, to keep it in place (from sagging and contacting the membrane).

The wall behind the CU is where your AT layer should be? So you'd just airtight the wall from floor to ceiling and then neither the CU or the cabling / grommets are outside / breaching the AT layer. What is the wall construction?
