Thanks for all your comments. IG Lintels came up trumps, supplying me with an arch lintel (1360mm SPAN; 600mm RISE) for £260.

Thanks @LA3222!

BC inspector wasn't keen on this as a solution over the phone. He's coming out Thursday so I will try again with that solution!

A tricky one on site… BC have said we need a 50mm arched cavity lintel above this arched window. Struggling to find a supplier! Anyone else encountered the same problem?

Hi @LA3222, how did you conclude your arched window cavity issue? I have the same problem to overcome! BC are saying I need an arched cavity lintel which is proving hard to source!

Thanks everyone, I will check out those suggestions. Love this forum!!!

Looking to attach a glass balustrade to a timber frame for a balcony and Juliette balcony. I’m told this type of fixing (see photos attached) is what we need, but I can’t find a supplier anywhere!

This only works for Royal Mail deliveries I think?

Thank you that's a good tip!

Any recommendations for stand alone post boxes for after we demolish? Thanks

Hi @Thorfun, which MVHR unit did you go for in the end?! Currently going through the same decision making exercise...!

Thanks @blooda - very useful! Wow I see what you mean about the 1980s look! My wife would not be impressed with those! Are you happy with Vent Axia overall?

Just spoke to the supplier and they said the main difference between the two options above was the Zehnder had an app and the Axia didn't! (an app would be nice but not £2k nice!) They also said the Axia was the most reliable on the market - very few maintenance issues. I guess hence the 5 yr warranty they offer. I'll be going with the Axia option. So far I've been impressed with BPC! Hope this thread helps others. Thanks for all your input.

I’ve asked them to remove the annex from the quote as we don’t need it in there. They’ve given two further options (attached). What we really don’t want is cold drafts blasting out in winter, so I’m leaning towards the Zehnder ComfoAir Q600 option but the pre-heater version (not the standard one as quoted in option 2 attached).

Hi all, would value opinions on the attached spec for the MVHR in our new build! Feels cheap! I’m looking for a good spec system as once it’s in, it’s in for life!… but I don’t know what good looks like. Maybe the attached is perfect. Not sure! Any advice appreciated
