Or the government making promises that they had no intention of keeping

I agree i worked on a group of heavily subsidized homes back in 2008 that ASHP id never heard of them before Only come across the odd ones on one off homes since Nearly all the site heating and electrical no less than I do and that’s saying something

It looks like the government are starting to backtrack All the contractors and most of the HP fitters think the 2025 new build date is optimistic at best

Most contractors will absorb Or like Conor split small increases But when materials double or more like many have You the client will be expected to step up regardless of fix rate contracts

Good advise

I used Acanthus Cast stone Ltd Check out there website

He’s right you shouldn’t be cutting into the isolation Service mounted are a better option

Trouble is the builders opinion will count for nothing If he won’t move on this You will probably have to do it Or as I said earlier Spend a couple of hundred on a SE BC like there bits of paper

See if you can get a SE to do a report to support what you intend doing Though they tend to be cautious also

Yes your neighbor will have to take this into account You can raise this with planners when his application goes in

?

I’m tempted to say B&Q toilets are shit? But like most things You get what you pay for Villeroy and Bosch being one of the better and more expensive

I always prefer Block or brick over TF We have three parapet type upstand a on our next I definitely wouldn’t use brick or block Render-board and Render or Render-board and cladding

Get you Building Control out and he will tell you how deep you need to go Then come and inspect before you pour the foundations

Going to have to stop saying this Plus one with Joe We did exactly that with ours Block and Block Full fill Roocwool Worked a treat Looking at the speck for our next it’s Recticell batts and a 20 mil air gap But that may change Its one of those things that well worth over specking

No reason at all There are some nice anti slip floor paints and as Joe says You can always tile or wood at a later date

We just filled the pipes with and left them pressurized

Nail with a ring nail

This Sean’s very sensible Joe As I’ve said before Those on here that are on a fixed build price will have to be flexible

When we started our last build The Brexit vote came into play mans put prices Interest rates and mass unemployment where supposed to follow We just pushed on anyway We will probably do the same thing I was just chatting to a friend who runs a drainage company He just said write a list and I’ll put it to one side Products are coming in But just going out so quick

There’s lots of online companies that will quote for all three Though water tends to charge for a quote in some areas Crown Energy being one Plot post code and a Google earth screenshot You can use the same trench on your plot But utility companies never seam to work together Three quote usually means road being dug up three times

There’s a quite a few on FB advertising Tele handler and man £350 for an eight hour day If you can find one reasonably local They will simply drive to your location

Things aren't getting any better Even the large commercial sites are struggling for cement concrete and drainage materials

Plus 1 with Mr P we had a similar situation with an extension at our last home BC would allow us to connect them together A soak away was a cheap and easy option
