  1. Then push on That’s all you need He will back down once it’s done
  2. You can argue till your blue in the face Chuck it at your SE That’s what he’s there for
  3. Just invoice the person that’s paying you Weather Third party or nor won’t make any difference as to weather the building qualifies for 5% In any case You will need documentation showing a reduced rate Or you will need to charge your normal rate
  4. Get him to book it out to your address plot 1 ####
  5. We’ve had quite few surveys on here I loose interest when they ask the household income 😂
  6. I would definitely enclose a letter explaining you situation and reason for delay But you’ve paid the vat and are entitled to reclaim it I hope you repost when you have your claim paid
  7. We’ve just been signed off after living in our build a year and paying CT for 18 months and will claim the vat in the next six months I recently contacted the vat helpline and they stated that the length of time living in the build has no baring Just the period between sign off and claim Six months
  8. It tends to be independents now We have one called Berrys Over 400 staff They still machine anything in there own shop
  9. The through colored renders Have made sand NF cement render obsolete Your looking around £30 m2 for a garage Supply Plus scaffold
  10. Do it yourself Ground workers won’t be accurate
  11. Practice definitely This time I borrowed a 5T machine equipped with gps Engineer inputs his info and just follow the screen Gives you the depths also No lines or paint to follow
  12. Ours just said We will put it in for the grant and if you choose not to bother Simply amend later
  13. We’ve taken two years Mainly my wife and myself Both have full time jobs £815 m2 on our previous 420 m2 this time With a 337k spend While we built the foundations and did the GWs I still brought in five bricklayers Costing 20k o
  14. We’ve separate pump As I say it doesn’t really matter to us I think that if you are running Rads You would simply treat them like UFH and leave them on and set a thermostat to the desired temp
  15. Playing with peoples lives Our planners charge £150 per question Email
  16. It’s undeniable that GS running cost will be lower But you need to factor in the installation costs also and if your paying around £1500 per year in energy costs It will take a while
  17. We are in Woodplumpton near Preston if you ever fancy a visit And just finishing our second build I would say he’s half right Our Mitsubishi is noisier than the day it was installed But not near enough to bother anyone We have UFH to the GF and there is no difference between our previous build (Gas boiler) and this one We never used the Rads in the bedrooms on our previous and are unlikely to do so in this one But the radiators only run at 40 so don’t get hot like Rads on a gas system 60 I think So well suited to UFH A lot of the negative press is due to HPs being sold as a way of reducing bills While electricity is nearly four times the cost of gas They will remain more expensive to run Or in our case Very similar
  18. I think we all know what a self builder is on here Pretty much most on here Drawing a few sketches and running a few lengths of ducting Isn’t a self builder John’s spot on with picking his battles There’s always things that you can’t do yourself Time constraints is often the main reason
  19. Myself and my wife have done most things on our last two builds Though we where tempted to go the TF route on our last build But couldn’t justify the extra cost Does TF count as self building 😁
  20. I used 3-1 on both ours It is better for plastering Gets over the hangers But also stops the floor above creeping The one I pictured today Is one we where asked to do to give a bit more depth
  21. You can bed the tile board on But must mechanically fix once set BG do a knock in for this purpose
