Hi Can someone tell me what my smart meter is trying to do has it found the network or is it still trying? Is it ready to try and commission to Zigbee or mot? Installer left it as it was not connected. There is no LRR signal where I live so should fall back on to 4g which in Scotland think it is Vodafone network. Thanks 007dad1f-12c5-4081-87a3-c946c4faae8d.mp4

Hi I have a timber frame house some some of it is block with render and stone cladding and some is timber frame and wood cladding. I am struggling to find building insurance that allows this can anyone with a build like this advise who they have insurance with.

Hi Can anyone advise what thickness of glass is needed for an external Glass Balcony Balustrade in Scotland also the tube dimensions. I am going to order the attached but just wanted to make sure it met building control standards before I do. thanks Pre-Assembled Post_Glass Clamp_Linear_Tech LC-140262.pdf

Hi part of my build has stone cladding onto block work and render above. The stone cladding has been badly fitted and I am thinking about putting timber cladding over it. My plan is to cut channels out of the stone cladding to fix wood battens to the wall and then fix the wood cladding to them with no cavity. not 100% sure if the building inspector would find this acceptable and also it would cover up the weep vents for the timber kit. Or is it best to finish the stone cladding and after sign off decide how to fix the issue? Is there any other option I could do other than chipping it off?

Hi I have 2 balconys that need Balustrades and been looking online but do not want to spend a fortune as the budget is now stretched and this is the last thing that needs to be done. Can anyone recommend a company or options. I have put it in glazing but does not need to be glass Thanks

it is a waste for water filtration when it does its regeneration

Hi Looking for a spigot to connect waste pipe to standard garden host. I saw the attached photo and not sure if this is a special T and a certain spigot used or just washing machine fitting

go above it to throw the water away from the wall and from seeping behind the cladding (like a flashing),

Hi I am looking for something to go onto of stone cladding before rendered above so it looks good and the rain water comes off. thanks

Hi I asked K-Rend and sent them pictures and they said it will be fine

My house is due to get rendered in the summer and the wall have been up for a few years. I have noticed in some places that the motar has started to fret. If you run a trowel along it it will dig in about 20mm Is it OK to render over it or will it need repointing first as it will be a big job and do not want to delay getting it rendered. We will be using K Rend

Hi I have one south facing roof and 1 west facing roof and i am looking to have 10 soler panels on each in total 8.3 KW I have an EV charger at home for my car and a ASHP. I currently have a smart meter but it does not work due to it not able to conect to the DCC. I am thinking about putting in about 20 KW oif battery storage but not sure what size invertor. One quot states 3.6KW invertor and no need to fill in the G99 but I am not at risk of to much clipping and only being able to get generated electirc in the house 3.6KWh thus the car charging would take half the power from the grid not the battery. or have i got it wrong in some way? Live in Scotland also KA18 Thanks

to the tip

I live in a valley and most likly will not see the turbines so and 2 km away so would it matter about noise? We are also upwind of the turbines. yes that is what I am deciding if I am going to be finacially involved as it is not a lot of money

they are also putting in 400 acreas of solar near me

Hi A company is loking to put windturbines about 2KM away from my property and has started to draw up a contract with me. One of the statments they are asking for me to agree to is the following Non-interference -The Householders will acknowledge and agree that they are financially involved in the Energy Project for the purposes of the ETSU Noise Guidance. Not sure what it means can anyone help? thanks

Good point, will have a look at the post

It will not let me turn it off unless I go in to factory settings and then can disable it. If I disable it what about legionnaires.

I am putting my hearth in and to is 1800mm x 600mm x 20mm it is raise of the ground by 45mm so there is a space below it. The company that supplied it have stated that I need to bed it on cement but I thought it would be strong enough with out doing this and just setting it in. There is a support underneath where the pink line is in pic

so should I switch it off then?

Hi I notice that my heat pump has Electric (Fast) Heating turned on. The instruction manually is not clear it just stats turn on if needed. Should it be off or on? Thanks

Hi I never got this resolved and have had no insurance for nearly a year now

that is what building control states but that will look very nice so we are thinking 500mm to 60mm from the wall

Will have a look
