That’s probably the first time I’ve heard keeping the cost down m2 and seam roof in the same sentence While I’ve not built this way I’ve worked on lots that are done this way Seems a very efficient way of building Im working on some at the moment where the third floor comes as a cassette All in in the day

No need to remove render Simply go straight over the top Then add render or dash Any airtightness needs to be done from the inside

My wife hated ours Bug likes it now So much cleaner than gas

It really does depend on the surface Hard concrete can be fine with a 6 But softer surfaces can be 5.5 or even 5 The trick is when you are screwing them in They shouldn’t blast in in one or slow the dril They should just go in steady

Flexi tile adhesive works well I agree with Ice about the skate effect I put them in our last build Looked great Rubbish to keep clean Back to white this time

I buy 100s boxes of different type fixing screws each year The blues ideal for fixing to concrete

I’ve been doing this for forty years Trust me

For single board The first hanger can be 800 from the wall if you can get a reasonable fixing in the perimeter track Then you need to make a 1200 grid up with your hangers D board 600 from the wall and make up an 800 grid

No

Probably said above NO You don’t need so much as a driving licence You can go and hire a 15meter tele handler without any training if it’s on your own property While on a construction site You can’t even use a Stihl saw without going on a day course

I agree with your roofer The pitch isn’t anything to do with this problem In any case It’s not his responsibility to decide on the correct tile for the pitch Unless he specified this particular tile But he has cut the tray to short It should finish inline with the roof and I would have run the gutter further also This done would more than likely sort the problem out NHBC like most warrantee companies hardly ever pay out and insist on a bond before coming out But won’t pay out on defective work

Traditional solid will always be cheaper to build than Timber Frame or Sips While PV is all the rage Unless your electricity demands are really high It will take many years to pay for itself It pains me to say it But gas at nearly four times cheaper than electricity is cheaper to run If available A good example would be our previous build Which we have recently sold Our buyer has installed a massive array of PV and heat pump They have taken advantage of the BUS grant £7500 Leaving them 17k to pay The salesman has as used them that this will translate into a saving of £750 If correct Is still quite a long period to break even and May want replacing by then Which is why we couldn’t justify it in the first place

Slightly off topic We had winds of 70-80 mph a couple of weeks back My friend fro Aberdeen laughed and said “That’s just a breeze” 😂😂

You definitely need to bring in a Structural Engineer

It should be zero rated But they person your speaking to doesn’t always know this

Plus 1 If it is on your land Your muddying the waters by getting the LA involved Contact a solicitor and give them thirty days to remove it Though I probably would have driven a tractor into it by now had it been on my land

The last bit of advise is spot on It will cost But you need to bring in a planning consultant Without You have little chance of sorting this out Cil payments have been enforced for much less than this At the very least you can sort out your vat liability

Referring to living there before sign off

Well done The final milestone You also answered a vat question that I asked earlier Does it matter how long your in before making the vat claim NO

We’ve used Protec for our last two builds Site insurance Protec for our first warranty Not worth the paper that it’s printed on But we new we would be selling This time round Weve used a professional certificate half the price Will do the same thing if we need or want to sell at some stage

A friend has recently used Wunda throughout there cottage Around 80 m2 Simalar scenario to you I’m not sure about the running cost But he’s really pleased with it

Tiles are fine with UFH There’s plenty of none slip tiles Though the trend seems to be large format high gloss at the moment Wood is ok but extremely prone to marking and damage
