Speaking of which Our Neff dishwasher still had the sample pack in it when we sold our first build This time we have a Siemens that will never be used

I worked on a 20000 sq foot house in the lake district He owns a massive fire alarm company and he automated absolutely everything 12 months on I asked him if he used any of it His answer was We did at first But not much now But it’s there if I need it

Under the previous system You would have had to right it off I haven’t yet used the new system But you could jeopardize your whole claim Claiming for something that you can’t back up

Plus 1 Put your tray in afterwards and make up with a semi dry mix

I’d put a50 mil rip before skimming 10-20 is ideal

Real easy fix Id to move two A dodgy self builder put them on the wrong side of the corner 😁

Yes they are The tile supplier will match them to your tiles Dont get the plastic ones Pay a little more for metal

They should really be telling you 10 mil minimum around the perimeter 10-15 mil rubber door joints Tile up to external doors

Limestone is better drainage But more expensive

I pointed out that it’s a minuscule amount of electricity to run the thing He said Less to open a window Then put the air test target at 9 Which shows planners don’t bother to read the SAP reports

The whole sap system needs to be scrapped and replaced with something more reliable I was surprised that motorized ventilation had a negative effect on the sap score

Sand and cement screed has alway been a mil per day LA and Housing associations will hold you to that

Yep traditional semi dry Lay ply on in the afternoon and tile We would always pour the grout on like water to catch any hollow spots and brush wood shavings to clean and polish Something we only do now for very heavy vehicle traffic In short Times move on liquid screed is bombproof Don’t overthink it If it won’t come off with a floor scraper It’s fine Don’t use expensive primers As with plasters renders etc The primer is there to seal and kill any suction (Slow drying )

Cons This type of screed costs more than traditional screed and requires more prep work Pros You don’t need anti crack matting and you can get it tiled within days without much prep Manufactures are always cautious 75 days for a sand and cement screed to dry out before tiling Is unworkable in the commercial world Hell Before the advent of flexi adhesive We would screed in the morning and tile in the afternoon

Apart from the colour it looks like he’s replaced like for like

Yes once dry Scrape it with a floor scraper 7 days is ideal Weve tiled many after 3 days

A repair will be invisible May be a stretch to get a new worktop

You can do 99% of new builds have no insulation between floors

No

I tile loads of these screeds Scrape it before tiling Then a coat of 3-1 SBR I’ve tiled 1000s of meters without any issues The beauty of this kind of screed is that you hardly need any drying out time and there’s very little shrinkage No need for crack matting

Everything seems to be made in China PV is a tricky one Unless you buy cheap and self install It May take a couple of decades to recoup the cost and your batteries will have probably been replaced a couple of times by then The people that purchased our previous build have just spent 17k on PV With the salesman promising an unlikely saving of £500 per year Still 34 years

Chuck it out to one of the joist companies They will quote and design off cad for free Building Control will require this also

It’s a crazy idea Thousands of basements are built using concrete blocks and if you want to add insulation It can be added afterwards Im guessing the garage is integrated Also id check with the tanking contractor as to how suitable Durisol is It will soak moisture like a sponge

Yes up and til 1990 most sites had no scaffolding for the roofers Joiners would us two pill ladders and take the trusses up that way
