  1. Not being funny Ian et the installer spend time with food dies etc
  2. I’ve a wired system to the new build Which is linked to my phone via Texecom The App is really user friendly and a great bit of kit
  3. I needed a lead saddle and a tray for the top of the chimney with a 200 mil upstand I found a chap in Cornwall who made and braised these to order and posted them out to me For not a lot more than what it would have cost me to buy the lead
  4. Lead all day long The alternatives are cheaper But won’t last as long
  5. Correct Peter if you have recently completed I’m sure you could make ten posts We thought that there would have been all sorts that where rejected In fact our claim was paid to the exact penny that was requested While there is plenty of info online The forum has condensed this into what is relevant to all of us Which makes it a laborious but easy task to claim one thing we did do was to make copy’s of all invoices This took longer than doing the claim request
  6. Looks good
  7. I think you are getting confused The system you have googled Is for concrete You can only hang a ceiling from the underside if you fixing into concrete with tap cons knock ins etc With timber joists you most always fix into the sides as the fixing can pull out otherwise I use this system all the time Tends to be on concrete You still need a primary bar Which is 50!mil on top of anything that’s in the ceiling Plus 10 mil for the top hat Another 25 for brackets In short you need a minimum of 100 mill If you have ducting or steels etc Your going to have a build up of 75 mil Plus boards With the clock system you minimum is 10 mil Plus PS
  8. 3.6 you can join with a bit of track either side Or use the bg jointing clips no overlap
  9. Just thought I’d share this with those that are looking for cheap Quick way of soundproofing Pictured is the standard gypliner with push fit brackets These simply screw to the side of the joists in a 400 x 1200 grid pattern Then clip the gypliner stud in place You can create a void from 25 mil to 150
  10. Pretty easy for self builders to apply for exception In our case One phone call and another a week later Job done
  11. The problem with bricklayers is most sites are paying a guaranteed daily rate regardless of weather Just to retain staff
  12. Most of the sites around here are paying 20m2
  13. We have just done ours quite easy Just followed the forum Guide
  14. Ha ha answered my question while I was typing
  15. I’ve been reading about new regs Can they really make you rip you S tank out and replace with a treatment plant Or is it more that it will be flagged up when you try to sell
  16. Good job Lee It must have been tough going in last weeks heavy rain
  17. I’ve friend has made his millions and lost them three times Some people will always take risks
  18. Exactly Ian ?????
  19. No experience of engineered floors So phones a friend who has a commercial cleaning business He told me that it’s normal for your floor to go dull after being scrubbed and suggested Elka oil Not sure of the spelling But assured me it’s quick and will bring it up like new Hope this helps
  20. I’m working on a build in the lake district While it’s no grand design There was 16 million ploughed into it when the banks pulled the plug back in 2008 The consortium that have taken over it are going to make a killing Very risky business which most being sold as second homes
  21. It ended with him saying that he had secured borrowing from a hedge fund (8%) Hope to complete But said it was unlikely that he will ever own the build Let alone live in it
  22. My wife said ah music business He looks familiar I told her he’s the guy out of bucks fizz She replied he’s let himself go I used to like him
