When you get a quote from TP At least you know it won’t be anymore expensive elsewhere

Fill it with airtight expanding foam (Blue) Cut it off in line with the wall once dry

I pay £16.9 for structural ply from Sheffield insulation There are plenty of saw mills near us But all add a delivery charge which takes it over the Sheffield I price Some jobs allow us to use OSB for pattreses Under a tenner

Everybody has an opinion and that’s all they are Opinions I run a tiling business and would always prefer flo-Screed But yet I laid 75 mil semi dry Traditional screed in both of our builds and probably our next build also

Core drilling a hole won’t make any difference to the house structure

I would say measuring is critical Some of the window fitting on here have been pretty bad Large gaps filled with foam We found Rationels Supply only quote Ridiculous

A plasterer for a day won’t break the bank Im not keen filling up with foam and trims look cheap

It’s a different kind of fitness Something you can build up Our son in-law is 38 6”8 tall 18 stone and a gym rat He came helping me load concrete blocks for a day and really struggled

I’m 64 next month and getting up for a third build 💪🏻

You can use any certified electrician

Exactly ALL subcontractors that work on sites have to have there own PL I prepare Rams on a monthly basis but it’s not required on a single PRIVATE build Ideally you would have an accident book First aid kit and a signing in book Your as much an employer to the lads onsite as you are to the guy that mends your washing machine Ive both PYE and subcontractors that work for my businesses I cover the PAYE with sick pay holiday pay and public liability The revenue destination between the two is Are you responsible for your own work and tax The self employed have to have there own PL and CIS ticket Or they can’t go on site Keep it simple Your not there employer

Nothing other than your site insurance covering your liability ALL Self employed trades should have there own public liability While you are employing them to do a task There not employees and it’s up to them to sort there tax out Even if you pay them in cash

Your probably given them more info than they need We where in both of ours for six months before we completed We where surrounded by 10 meter high trees at our previous build There’s a big difference between incomplete and not signed off It’s easy to give insurers the impression that your moving into a building site Axa previously I think the same this time

35s are fine

Go to a broker Banks solicitors insurers Can be obsessed with anything none standard

They should be insulated Basic error Or can’t be bothered Id be concerned about the rest

Piss poor

Come on Craig Please don’t tell me your a window fitter 😂

Is it heck a trade

Most are subbies With less than a week’s training and don’t give a fly F##k about your job Window and door fitting isn’t a trade Most will learn as they fit These where fitted on a recent job Craned in by specialists Leaked and pooled in the middle 8k x 8 Blaming everything except themselves Never bothered to check the fall as they went Rea basic stuff I could post you examples all day

and you really think your window fitters are trained 😁 Im on sites every day It’s all about getting them in as quick as possible

From memory Theres about 60m2 of glass Plus Velux es Not included in the quote As I stated Rational and the other big player started off ridiculously I didn’t even ask what there supply and fit price was The door I posted recently over 100k All the 5 meter Ally trims had to come off before I could install the lighting strips as they where nowhere near straight Turned out they where stuck on with silicone Most window fitters are rough Better to pay your joiner to put them in or do it yourself

We had a ridiculous quote from Rational 68 k supply only Then out of the blue they came back to us at around 50k Someone could easily argue that this is a genuine discount Take a 5k fee and they’ve saved you 13k Trade discounts can be pretty high Or volume purchases more than trade It’s when something goes wrong The middle man won’t be interested

Sounds like a FB scam

I heard that Putin is about to Nuke us before Christmas Im out buying a Turkey now 😂
