good call, i hadn't thought of using a line, it will work on the long run if i just measure down at each end of the 10 metre run, pull a line and fit the battens on that line..Thanks for the tip i appriciate it

Hi All Hope this is in the right forum I’m doing a cladding job on my dormer bungalow, one side of the dormer is about 10m long with 4 windows in it, ive fired my laser along the bottom start line of the cladding which is also the same line as the windows cills, if I start on the laser line, at the front of the house I will be in line with the cill but at the back the cladding would be 3 inch above the window cill, the house is built on raft foundations in a known poor ground area so I guess the whole thing has shifted in the 50 years its been up. So I guess I’ve got no option but to follow the line of the cills other wise I think its going to look a bit of an arse. Would that be what everyone else would do? Thanks Martin

Hi Everyone I wasn’t sure whether to post this in Rad or UFH but hopefully I’m posting this in the correct group. I’m in the throes of a full renovation and am currently designing the central heating system, I’m installing radiators (11 or 12 in total) and am going to run each rad from its own loop on a manifold, each rad will have a wall mounted thermostat and actuator valve on the manifold all connected to a wiring centre so each rad is individually controllable. I’ve done this same setup in a previous property with a 4 port manifold and it worked just great using just the circulation pump in the boiler, I wondering this time if I’m going to need an additional pump at the manifold with the increased number of rads, but I thought I’d read somewhere that 2 pumps can work against each other when on the same loop and cause problems If that’s the case I did wonder if I just used the same setup as UFH with a pump and a blend valve as I know that doesn’t cause an issue, I’ll be over sizing the rads anyway to future proof for an ASHP should I ever go down that route, so will be running at a lower temp. I was wondering if anyone had any experiences of a similar setup or had any additional thoughts Thanks in advance Martin
