QQ- description of development wording in an application
nod replied to StellaSa's topic in Planning Permission

That seams a very health budget About treble ours Whilst labour will be a bit more Materials will be the same
-
Good old google £315 inc vat frame pan and plate considerably cheaper the Geberit As I’ve said just a bit reluctant as we’ve had o issues with ours
-
Last time out we used four Geberit frames and Grohe loos taps showers Five years on No problems with either I’m looking for five frames But have noticed good prices on A Grohe package Is there anything between the two

For the extra cost which is about £7 per boards I would just enclose the interior of the porch with fire board Labour would be the same

As far as an escape goes I presume it has a door The fire should be 30 minutes 1 layer of PB Increase it the a 15 mil fire board and tell him thanks for the advise which will leave him feeling cleverer than you 😁

Granted planning, but design is awful.
nod replied to flanagaj's topic in New House & Self Build Design
Plots are sold with planning and radically changed all the time We looked at a plot that was ultra modern Flat seam roofs Seddons Lots of glass It’s now been changed to slate hip roofs and bay windows -
If by upmarket you mean more expensive Your right I use them all K Rend is by far the best and has better support and warranty
-
Yes Whilst it’s a straightforward job It would be destructive
-
Yes they will ask for air test etc Most of the companies I work for achieve 2 Which is good considering I haven’t seen an air test being carried out for about five years The as built final sap is totally reliant on the info you give
-
I’ll give you an example now The area you are looking at is down for 80 mill of insulation the 47 mil insulated plasterboard I’ve gone 80 mil insulation Superfoil another stud 80 mil insulation Then insulated PB The sap guy can only take my word that the whole house insulation has been up rated
-
Ye Pay a £150 to a online company and they get you through I’ve said many times before Sap and air testing are a joke and need changing I’m not saying you should But if you where to tell the As built Sap accessor that you had upgraded the the insulation He or she has to go off the information that you give him He will ask for boiler cert windows etc I only had a window quote with the u values on In fact I had three so could have used any

Homes given poor energy ratings on the basis of faulty modelling...
nod replied to MAB's topic in Heat Insulation
I think the main flaw is the cost With EPC suppliers charging £35 per property They are pretty generic -
From recent quotes it doesn’t seem worth self install I’ve been quoted £7000 after grant for a 12kw Mitsubishi and large cylinder Fully installed I think there would be about 2k difference for a gas boiler and cylinder Then Conections Last time round it was under a thousand This time round it would probably about 4 k Im under no illusion that a heat pump will be more expensive to run As all three of the installers have stated this

At 14 ft You will easily find some iddiot that will do it off a ladder for 150 quid There was two old guys replacing lead gutters off two ladders Three story crumbling old terraced Put an add on market place FB
-
It’s a very simple test Mainly used on commercial Or multiple occupied properties A tripod set up and moved room to room You should be fine They will allow you to temporarily tape the trickle vents up

Tiling on anhydrite screed which has been down for over two years
nod replied to GaryM's topic in Floor Tiles & Tiling
Flow screeds are usually fine without a mat 80% of the fllow screed that I tile have no matting Usually tiled within a week of being laid They tend to be commercial so no UFH The others tend to be one off builds with UFH and are that spooked by YouTube They go for Ditra As a tiling business you would be surprised how little say I have on the jobs we do I’ve just laid the screed on ours Bit had I gone for flo like I originally intended I wouldn’t have used matting
