  1. Hi All, We have a BPC supplied system and on the install pack it says about a 8-10mm gap on all doors, to aid circulation. Thing is, we have a number of fire doors which seems to defeat the principle of them. I will ask BPC but any guidance from people on here? Thanks
  2. Hi All, Confused here, if on my driveway, the pipe is less than 600mm deep, Im thinking I need to protect? BC being less than helpful... So shingle, then do I need a compression board all along where its shallow? I have some A252 mesh left over so could use that? Then finally 100mm concrete cap? Again, is this all along the trench? Look forward to thoughts!
  3. Thanks so much! Did you use a peel and stick membrane as well?
  4. Thank you, as you said, I cant find the Triton product anywhere and dont want to use any bitumen based primer as it will eat the Nudura block foam
  5. Hi All, getting around to externally sealing the Nudura block to the footings. Looking for help to find a suitable waterproof primer and membrane? Cant seem to find many! Cheers
  6. I need the pumice liner though, not the ceramic I need a tee cap but can find kne anywhere! Maybe I can adapt an aluminium one?
  7. Hi, Just starting to install my chimney, Isokern pumice liner. I have spoke to Isokern but no joy... Basically we have the 45° T section going into the house and upwards. But what do I do with the bit below on the T ? Does it need a plug? Surely it's not left open? I know I need a soot door to sweep/access which I've accounted for but I can't think this hole at the bottom stays open?! Ta
  8. This is what I was expecting but the surveyor is unsisting not for Velfac. He won't order with out it being on. Maybe I need to change suppliers?
  9. Hi All, Just had our window survey and they are requesting we have all the stone slips fitted before they can measure the structural opening. Getting told different things that this is or not normally the case.. Is this normal? They are Velfac windows. Need to get them on order as the weather is on the move... Any have any other suppliers in the south I could try? Thanks
  10. Cheers Conor but I'm not allowed any boards, it's a planning condition
  11. Hi All, part of our planning stipulates no barge boards Now I'm doing the roof, we have the slate/batten coming over the Nudura and it's going to leave a batten visible. Should I use a small dry verge system to finish? Mortar fails often in slate and can't see how that will protect the ends of the batten anyway. Cheers
  12. Ideally want some end caps but good idea
  13. Hi, don't suppose anyone has some spare Nudura 6" end caps I could buy? Need some extra but not a whole box worth. Cheers
  14. Starting to think about my MVHR properly now the building is heading North... Looking to self install and possibly commission, wondered on thoughts of this design and a way around it? We don't have the steel beam running by the kitchen, it's now a solid beam, but obviously I can't run duct through either, I couldn't get around this due to the spans and loads. Any suggestions? My only thoughts were as the rooms above are a bit in the roof, I could use that to take it up vertically and into the loft to the MVHR unit? Thanks
  15. ICF Central who have been very supportive throughout
  16. I've just rewatched it and it definitely says 3 and 4...but then on the video shows your setup! I take your advice. Cheers
  17. Yes no I'm not contesting your point, just relaying what I did 👍
  18. we went 3 and 4 on internal only as per nudura instructions
  19. yes, had the alignment in place but not on corners as per instructions
  20. yes we have had support but not on the day
  21. We are using Nudura but to be honest I'm sure it can happen with whatever system. Cheers for the words, the pump guy was superb today, I was really on the floor after weeks of ups and downs, he got me going and we got 2 big walls done and concreted a big gable window steel in, so managed to salvage some goodness
  22. Well we had our big pour today... Nervous all week. Had a big blowout on the corner...twice! Same corner, 4 blocks gone. Others bits stayed up when I thought they wouldn't. Will have to do the other walls another day. Learnt alot today. I would definitely recommend strap, brace and brace the corners again and again!
  23. Did you use a carrier board? How much stone have you had to cut!? How did you go about cutting it? Ta
  24. My S.E has overspecified IMO but it's his head on the block so..its the way it is. The steels span big openings, over bifolds/sliders, garage opening so over 4.5m Cheers for the tips!
