    I would at least use an anti crack mesh
  3. Slate is more expensive than Clay and will cost you more in labour
  4. ICF Timber Frame Sips are all good The last two are the most convenient But come at a cost You can build a brick and block house far cheaper than the other three So you probably need to decide which is the most convenient for you In fairness a single story of that size in B&B would be built in a couple of weeks
  5. Pug mix There’s me thinking it was a NW England term 😁
  6. So true Unless you get an independent body with no vested interest Results are meaningless
  7. It was solid build an 89 on a B If we had of added solar like the planning stated it would have taken us up to 91 A If we would have added MVRH That would have taken us back down to 89 Such nonsense
  8. We are not far from a hospital So nearly all where doctors The ones that asked where computer bods Who also asked for the Wi-Fi speed 😁

  10. The best of it is I’ve several machines for spraying Wet dash But my wife wanted it hurled like we used to do 30 years back
  11. ours is 10x8 and we simply slated it nothing fancy But looks ok
  12. If you buy a cheap ridge kit They always come with stainless screws and most of the time the screws of covered with a cap or another ridge I can only imagine what you have paid Get them back to sort it out
  13. Rumble strip hard pavivibg cobbles etc Three meters in from your boundary
  14. Cost
  15. Should be stainless fixings That will annoy the he’ll out of you
  16. Your objectors won’t stop you Just slow you down Unfortunately the enforcement officer x5 tends to side with the complainers But a retrospective application usually allows him to say that he’s done what he can But your application has been approved A real pain
  17. I wouldn’t use timber for an acoustic wall MF is far better Dont fully full Use a 50 a acoustic roll (Iso ) Attach a strip sound block PB to the underside of the base and head track with two lines of acoustic sealer Don’t forget to stagger your PB joints on each layer
  18. We had all sorts of conditions on our present and previous BC say they are planning matters With now one to check them We have taken the seriously this time The guy who did our Final Sap offered to do the water usage report which was required by BC Nothing else was needed
  19. Proper self builder 😁
  20. Marazza are a good brand Rocia stock them and will bring them in direct order above 100m2 Usually about 3-4 weeks Expect to pay around 30 odd For ticket prices of 50 odd Just had a look Prices look ok Just depends on the shipping costs

  22. It won’t make any difference The membrane under the insulation should be joined to your dpc (blue) Then you would put a 100 mill upstand on the top of your insulation Usually 25 mill foil backed sheet ripped into 100 mil strips ( red)
  23. If you apply a 5 mil coat of silicone base coat You can stick cement board directly to it with a flexi tile adhesive
