Go for then As long as it does come under building regs
-
If your just tiling it It’s a quite straight forward job Start straight and mark one side out at a time I’d loose the mortar bedded hips in favor of dry verge
-
Just to add The cil can be sleeted out over the phone Within a couple of days
-
It wasn’t a form For both builds I contacted the Cil by phone They where quite clear Cut trees and clear the plot Remove slates but not joists No heavy machinery On our second build the SE required test holes I contacted them again and asked about taking a mini digger on There response was that I could take a full size digger on But leaving it there Or storing it onsite would constitute a commencement Im not sure if the Cil applies to you But that’s the main one Planners are more likely to tell you to stop what you are doing and that’s pretty much it Unless there’s a complaint It’s unlikely anyone will know Except All of BH 😁

New water connection. Expected costs?
nod replied to flanagaj's topic in New House & Self Build Design
Rural I think the term was It was a field used for grazing Cheapest service by a long was Especially as they had to traffic light a 60 mph road for four days 2.5 years on Still no meter Looking like next week -
Check with your Cil Ours said we where ok Stripping the slates off the roof But nothing else No heavy machinery Diggers etc

How much is a fair cost for kitchen redelivery charges?
nod replied to tokyotecubate's topic in Kitchen Units & Worktops
A call along the way might of been a good idea But also your builder moving his shit would also been a good idea Split the cost with your builder -
fixing DPC & floor membrane in place
nod replied to Post and beam's topic in General Self Build & DIY Discussion
The dpc that is lapped out of your walls needs to be dry and clean You will have to go round with a sponge and hot water a clean it all I used woven render tape or to stick ours (Jaffa) -
No the span will have already dictated the the thickness of your steel We hit and miss welded plates on three sides at our previous build Six years on No cracks or movement
-
The last two that we have done have been done with a 12 mill hit and miss welded plate on the bottom of the steel Which gives 0 deflection and has worked fine Hes probably probably added the deflection due to the lack of weight above it Which is no use to you Five mill of movement will cause the doors issues

Vat claim and sign off
nod replied to nod's topic in Self Build VAT, Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL), S106 & Tax
That’s really helpful I thought it was three months -
Getting closer to sign off Just had the air test done and garage doors Pretty much on top of the internals Still the drive and 600 m2 of paving to do My question is How long have others lived in there house before submitting a vat claim Our previous build was Moved in late December Submitted vat claim in May All went through ok We’ve been in since Late July But would like to buy the paving in before submitting But don’t want to create problems with the vat claim
-
As above But also note that an Architects certificate isn’t accepted by some lenders HSBC being one
-
I’m guessing that there was already cut outs there
-
Very neat No need to insulate Plumbers don’t normally take that much care

House Insurance - Legal Cover for Poor Workmanship
nod replied to Jawbkk's topic in Party Wall & Property Legal Issues
Your probably better going down the small claims option Cheap and simple -
Thanks both of the above Yes we’ve been registered with Counsul and post office for three months No issues with utilities Except BT 😂
-
I wondered if anyone else has encounter this We are trying to get standard home insurance and have been turned down by two insurance companies due to the house having a name rather than a number I pointed out that none of the houses down here have numbers While we are quite rural We are only ten minutes aways from hundreds of new homes One has stated that a house name implies that it’s a small holding Also the proximity of the coast 11 miles Any thoughts ?
-
If your going the TF route You probably don’t need a main contractor Once watertight You could bring in a heating and electrical company to get it first fixed Then it’s just a case of coordinating plasterers joiners any render etc Established firms will be happy to quote for each stage and should be self sufficient

Wall tiles out of level / not flat surface
nod replied to MortarThePoint's topic in Wall Tiles & Tiling
NO I would lay flags like that Whilst voids behind wall tiles to really matter He’s making work for himself A nice even 10 mil notch on the wall and a 5 mill lick on the back of the tile
