It would be unusual not to have to do it Depends on the wording of his quote ie Remove and replace tiles Supply and fit I would include self leveling in that

Your most effective way Not HSE recommended Is to mix the brick acid 3-1 and fill a plant sprayer and target each bit several times Which will slowly break it down PPE Marigolds and goggles that fit right to the face PS Pass this on. To tout rough ass builder 😁

Even the mass produced home builders are only sticking tiny Rads in the bedrooms After never using our first floor Rads on our previous build My wife didn’t want any radiators But I still installed them with one eye on one day selling the house

It goes show what nonsense the air tests are We scored 2 having no idea of this change They simply put it down as 3 like most of the large scale builds

Just to add The shaft walling is designed for access from one side only (Lift Shafts ) and will give you 90 minutes exceeding what you are being asked for

We have a 11 kw servicing 400 m2 and four bathrooms It’s more than adequate Have you thought of buying a better insulated home

Your Architect is correct Clad it with render board Then use a mesh and thin coat render 5-8 mil buildup

50 mil MF stud Two layers of Fire chech boards Will give you the hour If they are insisting on more You can install a shaft wall I stud with 22 mil plank fitted between each stud 50 mil void Then cladded with two layers of fire check board This will equal a party wall

You will sell anything on FB market place At the right price 😁Look for about 20% of what you paid Failing that my choice is a charity shop They will snap your hand off

I’m fitting this one for a friend 10 mil screed So even closer

Get yourself a new installer If he’s lying to you this early in the project It doesn’t look good for aftercare

Overthinking

Wip them out You could do all the investigations and BC could turn up an say Nah Take them out Or ask for a SE report Who will probably advise the same thing

Perfect

400 or 600 12.5 boards on 400 If you use 600 centers you can’t use 12.5 boards Only 15 mil

It would be difficult to asses on our current build Due to the HP But our previous build smaller than our current at 180m2 GF was really cheap to heat with a gas boiler and we never used the bedrooms radiators

If you can add UFH the d so It’s cheaper to run than radiators and much more comfortable

This is one I’m doing for a friend Super easy 10 mil screed to go on the top

Plasterboard

It’s much easier and safer to put new foundations in I can’t imagine a Structual engineer putting his or her name to this They normally play it safe In any case BC may come along and simply tell you to dig them out

It will all be nice and flat when 20 ton of screed lands on it

There’s nothing wrong with buying them in yourself But if the builder buys them in He will add 20% to the cost

Hit a nerve 😂😂
