Not sure, why do people use mats ?

I’m going round in circles also 🤣if we did ufh on first floor what would be the minimum screed depth on top of 15mm castle matts . Think it might be easier with rads (more controllable

Ok but IF you were doing it ?

What would be the best method in a new build , at the moment we’re doing egg shells and screeding on top ?

No we’re not a building company

Thank you, it’s a building company building the house completely separate from our own vat reg company for us to live in eventually

Thanks for reply’s I think the confusion was as we’re a vat registered business we thought we could claim vat on drainage stuff now but accountent says no wait until we’ve finished build and we thought they were saying we couldn’t claim at all if that makes sense

Hi we have a company building us a house oak frame etc but we are getting our own trades in to finish off , how do we treat the vat ie presume still zero ratedwith the trades ? Also I have purchased the drain pipes and treatment plant my self as that is something I can do but our accountant says we can’t claim the vat on that element (confused as was assuming we could )?

Thanks for replying what did the builders use for charging ?

Good idea why didn’t I think of that 😁

So looking at these as we have no electric or toilet facilities on site . Lots of 2nd hand mobile ones for sale with chem toilet and 6 kva genny on the back my question is are 6 kva gennys big enough to charge battery drills etc ?

just planning a new build 250m highly insulated , what would be the best option to run it ? if solar pv what size 3ph or single ph ? battery storage ? can we do gas boiler now on a new build ? basically what would be the ultimate best option ?

so if for example it cost 100,000 to build zero rated there would be a vat bill of 20,000 if rented out ?

have we payed vat though if zero rated ( i know im being thick)

is there an issue if you build a new build property and let it out after having it zero rated during the build?

thanks all ,western power quoted for single and 3 phase . ive asked them if the inverta question its important to know at this stage , no answer yet

were in the process of building 2 properties on a plot the plan is to move in to one and let the other out ,how does this affect the zero rating of the builds if indeed it does and are there any measures we can take before we start ? maybe delay the building of the second one ?

afternoon all , im in the process of organising new electrical connection to a new build plot and mentioned to the connection team that i maybe doing ashp and solar panels . theve asked me what size solar inverta im thinking of installing ? its all new to me i have no idea but itll be roof mounted on a 2500 sq foot 4 bed any ideas ?

what did you end up doing@greenqueen this is something were exploring now [oak frame v normal build ]in fact i could of written the thread 😀

the plan is to start building one now move in and get the foundations in for the other one and finish when funds allow not intending to sell , drainage is ptp with soakaway and rain garden for rain water etc

afternoon all , weve been lucky enough to get outline planning for two properties on an infill site , its in a rural setting both services are on the side of the road adjacent to the plots . when is the best time to apply for connection is it best to wait for detailed planning and is it some thing the building contractor may get involved in when we get around to choosing ?
