ikea laminate worktops are 635mm deep

Ibstock do tilebrick not sure if that's the look you want, and Grand Designs 2013 Brockwell Park house episode might be worth a look, they used something without visible mortar, bricklayers hated it!

This should do the job https://mdfosb.com/en/smartply/products/smartply-propassiv

Best GU10 bulbs with CRI 90-99 are Phillips LED spot ExpertColor at about £8, plenty of good quality fittings out there and not bonkers £120 a pop lighting designer prices.

Probably for Nick, what are your thoughts on these http://www.harlequin-heatstream.com/product-range/

We're having panels on our flat garage roof and it's going to be well and truly penetrated using this https://www.nicholsonsts.com/products/rooftrak

Maybe of interest. http://www.touchwoodhomes.co.uk/index.php/foundation-systems/53-strip-foundations

Always a good one to use,which a few people on here might have possibly copied. https://www.greenbuildingstore.co.uk/golcar-passivhaus-ground-floor-foundations/

Modcell also say Ecology will consider giving you a mortgage http://www.modcell.com/mortgages/ no doubt they won't make it too easy.

Not sure how they compare on price with Dueren but worth a look. http://www.mooremooredoors.co.uk

Could try these guys http://alltimberframes.co.uk not too far and do an i-beam stud.

Try Chris Brookman at BacktoEarth really helpful guy or The passivhaus store both in Devon

I seem to remember Nick saying that they require no parts to convert to LPG, just turn the adjuster screw on the gas valve and stick a sticker on to say its running 37mbar, I'm sure he'll be around later and confirm it.

We had a couple of prices for Spanish slate, SSQ Del Prado £1.48, and SSQ Del Carmen Standard £1.47 or First £1.60, but this would mean going back to the planners, so we are going to use Sandtoft Rivius a very realistic slate alternative.

I would think that a talented Welsh plumber could make this with some left over scrap copper, and then retire, think the cost must be in the design not the materials http://powerpipehr.co.uk

Seems on the high side to me, I've had 5 quotes so far for alu clad 3g, 43sqm glazing comprising 17 windows 3.4 & 3.0 meter sliders and 2 doors Internorm 23,200, 29,700 fitted Katzbeck 22,150 Gaulhofer 26,300 + 6k fitting Velfac 17,200 ideal combi 16,500 Going to have a look at Hon windows, sold through DSL in Truo next week but will probably go with Internom ,they are just so nice and the good lady likes them as well and that's priceless

That's great news, another victory against the planning department from hell

Saw these guys at the Exeter show http://www.rkdoorsystems.co.uk Give them a ring they should be able to help

I saw an ad in a magazine for something called flexigas, semi-rigid stainless steel flexible gas pipe tubing,should do the job I think,but I'm no plumber.

Thanks all Jane if your dealing with Torridge I feel your pain. Alphonsox what swung the appeal probably had something to do with the mindless refusal which was "The development is reliant on a car to access services and is therefore considered to be environmentally unsustainable resulting in additional CO2 emissions" and "The horizontal emphasis of the fenestration is out of character with the village" The house is almost to passive standard the car journey to town 2.2miles and the village has just about a bit of everything when it comes to architecture, planning inspectorate agreed after he read through the mountain of stuff I include in the appeal. Happy days

Just thought I say hello from wet and windy Devon,finally won our planning appeal so now we can get on with the easy bit. Paul

Topcret make a product called Baxab, 2mm polished concrete which they say ensures a 120N/mm2 surface hardness whatever that means in the real world.
