  1. No Your better going down the commercial route Via a broker
  2. I hope you are not insinuating that there is a problem with EV cars bursting into flames 🔥😁
  3. No Anything other than a stud wall needs a sleeper wall below
  4. Bit of over thinking going on I think most have a combination of GF UFH and rads in the bedrooms
  5. Some companies insist on Webber Rend Whilst the product is ok the reps just want to shift any blame from themselves K reps come out and immediately reassure the clients Perhaps it’s an Irish thing Or they are just better trained than others
  6. I’ve used through coloured renders for forty years I have little or no say in the brand of render that we use on a daily basis But I used K scraped on our previous build and K roughcast on our current Most are ok to use Similar priced and pretty durable The only thing that sets them apart is K rends after sales service is excellent Problems arnt that common But when there are issues K will either replace the materials or stand the whole job re doing No excuses The rep just wants to sort the issue out Other companies blame us
  7. Very narrow garage
  8. No trestles allowed or ladders even have to weekly tag 450 mil hop ups 😁
  9. Yep Around a hundred like that
  10. I wonder if any of us will take this much care to scaffold a single garage Complete with its own loading bay
  11. Raised aggregates look great But are difficult to repair if damaged
  12. I’ve a couple of these machines and we use them on a weekly basis Mine are both aitechs But speedy to two different ones Get the larger Get it all marked out prior to hire and you will easily do 85m2 in a day Don’t forget to hire a 30 amp transformer and lead
  13. We posted recorded and sign for last time We also made copies of all the invoices Which was the most difficult part of our vat claim So monotonous We will probably do the same this time Unless they will except photo copies of the invoices
  14. Try to keep one eye on a future sale As forever homes are rarely that We are doing our second self build and have added a forth bathroom with this in mind Hopefully we will stay there But You never know what is round the corner
  15. 47x47-0 4.8 lengths
  16. 100% One of the TF companies was still taking orders But we new that we were on stop for the second faze
  17. We’ve had a couple of jobs held up due to TF companies going into administration and Scottish building company Stuart Milne have gone also shutting three sites local to me A lot of companies are left quite exposed A site I’m doing the render on has a million pounds of quick stage Scaffolding Which hasn’t been enough to keep in front of us and the Brickies They bought at the height and will have to sell half of it at a loss when the site finishes in December
  18. I’m presuming that your airtightness is really good If not it will be a lot of work for little benefit
  19. Sounds a great project We have similar site of 2.5 acres and have used half an acre for our build and probably won’t build the second that we have planning for (expensive garden) Like you we have done at least 90% ourselves and look to come in at about £1000 m2 Plus the cost of the land Though quotes of 50k plus for a kitchen (Supply only) Look to undo some of the good budgeting Good luck
  20. You really don’t need much fall at all Tapers typically come in lengths of 4.8 meters and run at 45 mil -0
  21. Noop Most are gas Just one or two estates have HPs
  22. I’ve just done a job in Skelmersdale and a scouser hadn’t been paid for his part in the brickwork He turned up and knocked all the corners off an eight block of houses It took a gang two weeks to put it right
