No it’s not worth the extra That’s why most of the Builders merchants stock celotex Kingspan is the Hoover of vacuum cleaners

We were told by three different sap assessors that the sap would be so loaded that it would be unlikely that we would get planning So we gave up on an oil boiler

Oil definitely cheaper to run and many are 97% efficient But no longer an option on a new build

Great service It’s not worth using the generic brands I dropped the glazed frame while fitting Velux sent me a new unit with just a half pallet postage to pay Though 23 years takes some beating 👏

We’ve gone for three sets of sliders Nice easy to fit and much more airtight than bifolds The bifolds that I fitted on are previous build are pretty good But far from airtight I think it’s more in the design The manufacturer sent us larger seals Which seemed to help but made them hard to open and shut

Solar panels look pretty naff at the best of times But a full roof 😂

It’s just a meaningless box ticking exercise When you are all built and ready for sign off You will have to go back to this guy or someone else for the final sap report Which is totally reliant on the information that you give them For example You they will ask you if you have updated insulation and u values for your cheap safe style windows that you put in Never mind you can always send them the expensive quote that you could afford with the treble glazing and double seals He won’t need payment details Just the U values Money for old rope

It makes no difference The rain will hit the floor and continually bounce onto the render

The render will soak up water like a sponge Then the frost will bring it off

That’s really poor

Barmy

Unfortunately your paying the price for turnkey As others have probably said a drawing would help A May be a massive house Floors and electrical jump out at me initially I’ve paid 4K for an electrician to first and second fix 350m2 and a two story workshop But you won’t have the hassle of making sure everything is ready and there for him I would change from T&G to 22 mil chipboard Hardly anyone uses T&G due to cost and labour

Yes get your shower tray in and protected

The majority of plumbers and electricians have little or no knowledge of HPs Get someone down to give you a quote They will tell you your options

Yes

I’d 30 trusses to birds mouth before building the roof An engineers drawing with lots of detail I still ended up adding an extra wall plate either side to give me enough depth on the birds mouth It will become apparent as soon as you start

Your overthinking it

Make sure all the walls are finished and grouted before any prep work is done to the floors They need prepping tiled grouted Then protecting till your ready to move in

No you can get one retrospective If you need one I think building on old foundations will cause more of an issue

I probably wouldn’t have informed the authorities about the lodgers Unless they are claiming housing benefit then you had no choice I’d move them out quickly and hope they show a bit of compassion

On our previous build we used oak with pine spindles and fitted them about a fortnight before we moved in

First of all Why does he think you will need to pay for a 10 year warranty There's no requirement to have one In the grand scheme of things You won’t save much money by retaining the existing

You will need your completion cert to put your claim in

The eco that we’ve just had installed Theres the same model on eBay for 4K 2018 Then you have the tanks
