Imprinted concrete is long lasting and come in a multitude of designs and colours

We had Protec on our previous build each visit lasted 10 minutes Four in total Stayed in the car for foundations To muddy Inspected roof from the ground Said I’d made a cracking job 😁 Final sign off Didn’t walk around the outside or go upstairs Less than ten minutes They know that they will never pay out

Exactly We are coming in around £1000 m2 £815 last time Five years ago We are on just over 400 m2 But a massive chunk of the money is on foundations and surveys Kitchen also Building a small house puts you up against it from the start

Perfect

That would be a great help Kelvin Ive two wires and five terminals and don’t want to risk burning the Matt out before I’ve even tiled it

I’ve installed lots of Matt and tiled over them But never had anything to do with the wiring Has anyone a diagram to wire a Neo stat V2 to a warmup Matt

Just to add 20 mill Porcelain pavers are very strong and look good Anti slip for outdoors

Yes the top pic is our previous build 6 years

Unfortunately As above You beast option would be to ask him to set it low and once inspected drop a piece of turf on it In the unlikely event that access is needed It can quickly found with a garden fork

I think your being picky Quick tap with a chisel Zero chance of damaging Ive a faulty one that I hit several time a with a lump hammer and made no impression Or send it back

YES

A quick call to building control will resolve this

No It’s not standard It comes under Worth a try Surely he can wait till the end of the week

It depends what you asked for Level threshold Or didn’t specify

Most of the site houses I work on seam to aim for 2 It many years since I’ve actually seen an airtightness test being done Most are done as a desktop study We’ve built traditional)Solid) the last two times Our present home is extremely airtight and the one we are currently finishing should be the same When we are ready for sign off Probably six months after moving in We will tip up our 200 quid and get our pass certificate Get your house as airtight as possible But don’t take the corrupt testing to seriously Because Red Row and Barratts will hit a lower score than you without trying

Bulldozing the house is unlikely More likely is the joints raked out and repointed with a stronger mortar

I bet they didn’t use OSB panels 😂😂😂

You will probably find that the plot you buy will dictate the size of home that you build Always have one eye on resale The fees surveys etc Water electric connections are the same for a small house as a very large house Or something in between

Yes

Yes You would never run a drain underneath your footing

Your welcome

It is reasonable for a small job

A big part of my business if commercial fireproofing Which amounts to the same thing Airtightness For obvious reasons this is tested with in an inch of its life Most homes wouldn’t pass if they actually tested 1-7 like they are supposed to be Im not sure why there is any requirement for a self builder to have an air test The powers that be must realize that air tests have become a paper pushing exercise elsewhere
