Both pal. Trouble free motoring then. ? Have a good 400mm of pipe before the AAV to allow air to accumulate.

Simple fix will be turn off the ones that work as their probably bypassing and stopping the pump from pushing the air locks out. . If there are no automatic air vents in the attic then there's your problem as air is getting trapped there.

Oh dear. . You may want to sit down. Youve piped it wrong my old pal. You'll need to redo it. You've got the rads in series and then you've teed across the series run to branch off. See above for correct parallel flow and return circuit connections. ?

?. You must have just caught them on a good day ?

That's the way ! ? Result ?

Just ask the main contractor to simply omit it from the schedule. Your the boss remember. .

Deffo the only way if your not on site every day for that week @joe90.

Where does it draw the air from ? If it's not pre charged with any heat then it's forcibly pushing heat out as well as moisture.

I fitted a cloakroom suite into a bookcase on top of a landing once. 1450x600mm internal dimensions. Customer still raves about it as its opposite all the bedroom doors ( no ensuites ). It's a strictly 'pee only' loo as that was one where I had to use a Saniflow compact.

If you can't get a cloakroom in because of regs, run the services, cap them off, get your house signed off and put it in afterwards .

When they're open, yes. Is the idea to have permanently open trickle vents? Another bad point if so .

Plus the ventilation heat loss has to be offset with something, like fortifying with electricity I'd fit mvhr and compromise elsewhere, seems madness not to IMO.

Nothing worse than problems which have gone unnoticed, beyond where they can be economically or practically revisited. At least you've managed to turn that situation around. Are you project managing and delegated the window fitting, or did the TF company always have the tender in for that ?

I think it's better to add some depth now, at the design stage, to allow an 'insulation slipper' for the ground floor maybe. Needs a proper think before living with the compromise.

That's all fully supported from underneath, but I doubt it could be applied to @LadyBuilder 's slab as its unsupported at the junctions where the thermal break would have to be. .

If they're already pissed off, see quote earlier, then it must show. I get on great with my Neigbours, and we muck in when someone wants to do something, not moan and groan. If they're getting on well, great, but my point is not to struggle or compromise purely because the Neigbours are kicking off.

How would one go about that ?

Ah yes, sorry, thought there was a better one again. That's the ones I fitted last, and put @JSHarris on to. Good bits of kit.

A calm customer reaps his rewards. I worked for one idiot and he pushed me to 105% on everything. He heard me talking to his neighbour about a bathroom job, and I had said "as long as I've got a beating heart you've got a warranty on labour". Said idiot pulled me at the end of the job and asked me for a written copy of my warranty policy, to which I laughed. He re quoted me and I said his warranty had run out as the end of the original contract had expired by 90 days. When he protested I just said if you hadn't been such an akward prick I'd have shown you the same courtesy. Everyone that saw the job said it was above showroom standard and he simply paid me my final bill and we parted company. I even turned down his request of a maintenance contract, instead sending him to the manufacturers (aka the most expensive route ). Sounds like you have a good crew, so take them all for a breakfast ?

Yup Someone didn't have the basic decency to just tell you it wasn't happening. . Now, the positive bits . The ensuites look really nice, and if your happy with something as simple as floors and skirting, I sincerely wish I had more customers like you ! Tbh it's best to let things take natural progression, as pushing doesn't give any decent trade the opportunity to do their thing. That kind of compromise will haunt you later when you see the detail isn't there. Enjoy xmas, do as I've done and say "fack it", and eat as much damn turkey as is humanly possible. "Tomorrow is another day" . Forget the build and enjoy the festivities, as the build will be there when you decide to pick it back up. It's your build after all.

Dead man walking

Come on.......say something. .

Prudent.... ? I'd say hire 2 medium sized units and place them apart if it's the whole ground floor. One will struggle due to the internal walls. Make the place as airtight as possible to maximise their efficiency ( plus the dehumidifiers will give off heat as a waste product too so maybe no need for heaters ? ).

Really? Such an important hurdle, and only a moderate investment is required, surely a good investment if it goes towards preparing your house to be finalised and habitable? Is your mvhr up and running ?
