  1. I’d check the 25 It’s usually 50 mil You will need the ridge ventilation Especially with a loose rafter type roof To give a continuous airflow Some building controls insist that the membrane is slit at the ridge I can never see the point of that
  2. Most of the more well known brands pride there selves on how fine there grout is The cheaper brands are not as fine Don’t mechanically mix Mix with a stick Leave some air in there
  3. Sorry didn’t see the last bit Theres no difference between the two Like board finish and multi finish Personal preference
  4. Easi fill is no good for jointing and would work out expensive You need joint filler for the tape Then Gyprock joint cement for the next two coats Once mixed the joint cement will last for days if you cover the top of the bucket
  5. If it’s going to be a long drawn out build You do need fencing Regardless of signage If someone wanders on and is injured Your liable If you don’t make reasonable effort Then site insurance isn’t for you either I would bite the bullet and go online and order in new You will be able to sell it on at the end of the job without taking a massive hit Once you have claimed the vat back
  6. We had the weather on our side today We got the majority of the forty three trusses in Still quite bit of work to do with loose But a good start Rain ☔️ tomorrow
  7. You will need to get building regs passed in order to engage building control Don’t forget to submit a Cil application if applicable
  8. Even though the floor is mechanically fixed You will need to leave a clear expansion gap around the edge I normally use off cuts of The flooring every meter then pull them once you have finished

  10. I run a plastering and render company and we are booked up till after Easter Your going to have to book ahead
  11. Get a few quotes Things are finally starting to slow dow in the private side of the building trade
  12. If you are well insulated you will hardly use the radiators in the bedrooms We are considering not bothering with radiators in the bedroom As we haven’t used the tiny rads in our current build and we have been in three years
  13. Most important thing is when buying your plot That there is somewhere for your top and waste water to go Very easy to purchase an expensive field
  14. I buy these by the thousand Some companies won’t pay the extra most do 0 patching very tidy finish Simply skim over them 30 minutes per house to fit Boarders are happy everything tooled into boxes Electricians love them
  15. Sounds reasonable
  16. The worrying thing would be He isn’t saving time or money doing this He just doesn’t understand what the soakers are there for
  17. I’d get someone else You are correct Short lengths that finish just short of where each slate is nailed Allowing the next slate to cover and so on Leaving the soakers stepped like the slates
  18. Covenants are notoriously hard to enforce especially if there’s no beneficiary If a neighbor decides to use a covenant to restrict you building They will need deep pockets You can apply to have the covenant removed
  19. It’s not normal to ask for this But if you asked They should have done it To late now
  20. If it’s flow screed you can tile within days of it being laid Very quick drying with little movement
  21. If your happy with the amount and it cover ALL the work You should be fine Many of The one man bands do this as they simply don’t have enough hours in the day
  22. Purely from a cost point Oil will be cheaper Our neighbors switched from oil to ASHP about 12 months ago Whilst the don’t regret it as the oil boiler was coming to the end of its life 40 years The ASHP noticeably more expensive to run Some of the modern oil boilers are very efficient now
