  2. Your probably looking around 30% cheaper for a solid build
  3. I’d a similar problem on our previous gates installed I self installed without properly understanding how they worked I rang the motor supplier and read the fault on the internal display Which was sensing an obstruction They suggested adjusting the curved arms on the motors Which did the trick
  4. It probably wouldn’t as far as planners are concerned But I’d check with your cil that it doesn’t breach it
  5. I’ve run a render company for the past 30 years and seen hundreds of bumpy jobs done on flat new builds There’s no surface that can’t be rendered flat Direct sunlight will make even the best surface look bumpy for 30 minutes per day
  6. It is Each one that I’ve filled in I’ve followed up with a phone call a couple of days later
  7. The Cil form is trying to establish if the new house will become your main residence To see if you are exempt or not
  8. Our son has a spray shop and certain types of plastic bumpers that have gone grey Can be brought back to black with a heat gun

  13. Which ever you decide I’d avoid the mineral wool Prone to sweating
  14. Most are factoring in the BUS grants I would guess that if there was no grants There prices would drop by thousands Or they would go out of business We paid 5k on top of the BUS grant Making it pointless to go down any other route
  15. He’s not the sharpest chisel in his box 😂
  16. Looks fine Putting a level on a ceiling is over the top

  22. I would do both floors But stop short at taking floorboards up
  23. If you’ve no food stuffs in the cupboards Or fridges I don’t suppose it matters
  24. Most companies will ask you to mark the units islands etc I think the cupboard's would get quite warm Weve 150 centres in our current build and 300s in our previous build There’s really no noticeable difference
