Yes happy to help you

@Thorfun What did you do in the end, Im at the same stage, doors architrave and skirtings.

Done. Good job there wasnt a comment box, you would have got me started. I say one word PLANNING!! Some of the unreasonable requests for the silliest reasons has cost us dearly in internal space and insulation, difficulty in laying out bathrooms. No storage which was caused by roof requirements losing no end in bedrooms. They ask for efficiency and create inefficient buildings by means of their requests for 1.5 storey houses.

I must admit i do like an airing cupboard, being old school. Shower wet room will be right next door so good for towels, looking on the brighter side

Oh Lord, not planning, sod that. I will build a cupboard! Thanks for the reply

Following on from another thread where I asked advice on this heating method, no idea how to link it. Basically, we have had quotes but Im cheesed off that I may lose most of my utility to a cylinder cupboard. Has anyone got a horizontal cylinder in their loft and are there any disadvantages to this. TIA FF

Thank you that is useful, will have a look. Good old planning deprived us again of any decent roof space bringing us to a 1.5 storey, will have to check with the other half as to what space there could be up there. FF😊

Eek large cupboard, there goes my utility I dreamed of. Damn planning, they wouldnt give us a garage and now we have to find space in the house. Crazily, we are trusting a local plumber to advise us as we seriously are clueless so no idea about unvented cylinder at this point. 😫

Thank You, yes I had heard placing the unit on the warmer wall was the way to go, so thankyou for your direction on that. Clear and concise, many thanks FF☺️

House will be a 1585 sqft brick and tile with 150mm insulation. We are thinking UFH. Where to put the unit outside, N, S, E, W. Where the hell did you put the internal controls and can it be put in a larger tall kitchen cupboard to fit in with the rest of the units. TIA FF☺️

I just picked up on this, trawling blocks. I like the sound of the reveal to make it brighter and more cottagey. Are there any technical issues involved or is it purely decorative. I mean is any more support required in order to angle the reveals? FF

Different animal im afraid. They seem to not notice the difference between working on a developers site to working on the more personal build. I would check where they have been peeing and chucking their rubbish 😂 God forbid you berrate them, it will be tools down. Have you got dust sheets to cover the lot, it may seem a bit more off bounds then, if its covered

Is it noisy, reliable and what was the cost of supply and installation FF

Thank you, its a new build.

Hi, With an ASHP we are considering UFH but confused as to what would be the best option. Ive heard some say it gets too warm upstairs with UFH. If UFH is upstairs, does it affect the floorboards with respect to expanding and contracting? TIA FF
