    Two questions in one

    a bit light that but no ceiling box at all . I can only assume that the driver is in the ceiling void ?
  2. Firstly anyone seen this light anywhere , it’s not the Bora light (frightening price) in a kitchen shop very slim no visible driver ( must be in ceiling) shop says it’s always been there and asked where it came from and nobody can tell me 😂 secondly is it your electrian who deals with your data cabling ( daft question I guess but only because I’m not sure 🤷🏼‍♂️)
  3. just had the same issue. Our very insulated, timber frame build triple glazed open plan with some internal steel uprights etc required a psi done before sap could be completed, all to comply with our building regs 🤷🏼‍♂️
  4. I take it you would link the FC to the ASHP? I’m not sure how they work to be honest
  5. Anyone got or wish they’d got a comfopost ?
  6. I’ve just got recommended Hanley economic BS for my self build through Mayflower. If that helps
  7. Hi small house UFH downstairs 115m2 total space over two floors .fitting the Q250 for our MVHR . We will have an ashp for DHW and UFH . Solar to supplement electricity. the question is do I really need a ComfoPost? my understanding is it would need to be connected to the ASHP and it would need to be a reversible type pump? ( not chosen ASHP or cylinder yet, recommendations welcome)
  8. hi I’d be interested to know how this render is holding up all these years later … of if you are still on the forum to reply
  9. Quick question. need to get self build mortgage and they are insisting I have site insurance under my name even though the builder has full site insurance. I guess that’s because the self build mortgage is in my name and not his 🤷‍♂️. Anyway what’s the cheapest way to do this , companies?

    Airtightness

    Let us know what you get in the test 👍🏼

    Airtightness

    What exactly is this purple paint you speak of 😂

    Airtightness

    This is a cross section of my build between floors sorted. I noticed that there was not a complete airtight barrier between first and ground floor floor. Would what I’ve drawn work ok ? Then obviously taped to the first and ground floor membranes

    Airtightness

    Hi if you are looking to build in timber frame is vapour block osb the best option for internal airtightness control ? Obviously taping the joins etc or is there an alternative or better option?
  14. that makes sense and I guess just tape for airtightness etc but it might be a case as mentioned, it might end up being further away from the house and not next to it . Which is why I was enquiring 👍🏼
  15. can you show what you mean with the drawing and radius please 🙏
  16. I guess that’s a flexible pipe to go round the 90degree turns underground
  17. Can the inlet and outlet pipes for an ASHP go underground and up through the slab or do they come out and go horizontally through the wall? Like I say I’m sure this is one of those basic questions that probably doesn’t make any difference 🤷‍♂️
  18. Hi who does ventilation calculations for a build is it in the MVHR design? Apparently it’s needed for the building regs ? any ideas
  19. Another Thermal bridging question 🙂 how do you deal with services into the property? Such as electric , water, broadband and things like an external tap for example… trying to get a better understanding of it all thanks
  20. Hi what’s the thoughts on these shower walls instead of conventional tiles ? I see the are some that are the whole length and height of a shower wall say 1800x 2400 , so much have some benefit having no joints etc and have special channels for corners etc . But are they any good ?
  21. I see that there is a lot of chat about R290 being the ‘best’ for ADHP. But is that just because it can run at higher temps , so is more suited to a boiler replacement? Or is there another benefit?
  22. thanks , and is there any type of wet UFH that is better when in screed ?
  23. My build is about to start next month down in Devon . Having timber frame and passive principles ( still waiting on SAP but u value all round is about 0.10 walls/ roof etc and triple glazed windows/doors ). But not decided if I even need to go with UFH , which would clearly need to go onto the insulation and under the screed ? Or pop some electric mats down or those new uv mats ( just in case ?) what is the general thoughts here ?
  24. Interesting post 🤔 My build is about to start next month . Having timber frame and passive principles. But not decided if I even need to go with UFH , which would clearly need to go onto the insulation and under the screed ? Or pop some electric mats or those new uv mats ( just in case ?)
  25. Any chance you can draw and show what you mean please 🤗
