I use the recessed ones these days. They're only the thickness of the plasterboard + matchbox sized tranny, and the dispersion compared to spotlights is 10-fold better.

......dousing with kerosene and ?" I thought that was going to read

Walls have to be pretty spot on with no snots to use the foam. It's a baptism of fire if you've not used it before, especially if doing the whole house. D&Dab is easier if your used to it, but there's nothing stopping you from finding a gang that use the foam.

You can D&Dab and leave the boards 1/4" short of the ceiling and internal corners. Then get a fine nozzle for a low expansion foam and go around afterwards, when the dab has died fully, to fill and seal up the junctions so you don't suffer any serious convection heat loss. D&Dab is rarely done properly so you'll need to be in attendance when this is being done if you decide to sub it out

That would be appreciated. Thanks.

Hi and welcome. Please feel free to list your items in our 'Marketplace' section.

What total kw rating have you achieved with this combination? I am currently specifying Sunamps for 2 customers, and this post.... ...is indeed the one for any prospective Sunamp clients to wait for the conclusion of I would like to take this opportunity to thank @AndyT for his boundless patience and enthusiasm. I've picked away endlessly at his brains over the telephone, to a point that he admitted defeat and offered to come to Swansea Tuesday coming to meet me face to face, over sausage and mash and a shandy, to bring me up to speed on all things Sunamp. I am very happy with the technical support and customer care this company has demonstrated so far.....really a breath of fresh air.

Yup, easy enough to bust that down to trickle vented, and buy your friend a bottle of their favourite plonk....excellent result. If it helps you a little, id happily freeze my arse off for the duration if I could build my own home, I genuinely would. Look to the future, and remember this isn't forever.

Excellenté! I've lived my life doing what they say "can't be done" , so bad that it's cost more than it should but good that you got it in the face of adversity. Tres bien. ?

Tell them to grow a pair and get on with grinding the floor. Use hardboard to make up stands and to protect any delicate areas, then just crack on.

Id have thought they dissolve more every time you fill and run the bath. You have to routinely clean the whirlpool baths anyhoo so id say not to worry. Google will be your friend on this one as Im not a fan of the spa baths just because of the maintenance.

@Lin Pipe should ideally be a Pex Al Pex which is a very robust, aluminium lined pipe ( which my screeders wheel wheelbarrows over and trample on with zero ill effect ). The manifold is an issue, as type should be dependant on your required heat output and the type of heat source, and that criteria will also dictate whether the pipe is laid at 100mm / 150mm or 200mm centres. Its also likely that they won't give any consideration to the peripherals such as 'do you need a buffer' etc. Id ask a few more questions so they become responsible for a) the system performing properly and b) it being compatible with your heat source, eg gas boiler / ASHP / other.

If its going to need patching in lots of different areas then it would be a cruel task. Another option could be to blind the worst areas with 6mm aggregate and let the liquid screed bind into it. Its harder to advise from afar as it isn't an enviable task.

Have they sorted the issue with it smelling awful ( cat pee ) after application ?

Cut 25mm polystyrene sheets to size with a cheap handsaw ( messy ). Squirt foam on the back. Place on dampened floor. Weigh down for 30 mins. Go to pub ?

Is that undulating over the whole area or thicker one side ? You could get 25mm EPS and bond it down in the thicker areas to reduce cost.

+1 on the dry ridge. Adds ventilation too.

When the prisoners finished fitting them most prob

Deliciously simple, and way better looking than a dry verge imo.

Ok. Just 2w is mega low.

+1. Thats a shocking bit of work there.

+1 I wonder how long they were on the other roof for, and how long they'll be on yours.......

Yup, they could have at least sistered two bits of the smaller trimmer joist together to beef it up

Don't jest.....I tried to splice my boys Xbox headset cables the other day, they were like bloody hairs I put my sons glasses on and it was like looking at tree trunks, so I guess the glasses-less days are numbered......if only I can get longer arms from somewhere... Those come with different strength lenses?

Thanks for the added clarification ??
