It is indeed

Christ that's darker than @Iceverge

Dark very dark indeed

Don't take it so personally - problem with written communications on the internetz is that you can't see the face of whoever is writing - so it can easily be miss-understood. You are doing a fine job of recycling

I know what temp ours gets too................. Highest in 2024 was 40.2 Deg C, Lowest was -2.1 Deg C Summer months pretty typical to never drop below 25 deg C in the day time Large south facing side - concrete tiles - overheats like an absolute twat!!! Have vented eves - all clear of insulation and they do diddly squit - I'm going to stick an airbrick in each gable end as high up as I can in the hope that it allows some heat to bleed out. Anyway good work on the demolition and skip avoidance

What about a "mouse trap" arrangement - drill holes in mortar and insert dowels to push insulation back under windows

That looks excellent quality work and you've inspired me to do something similar - I keep a beer stocked fridge in the garage - for garden/garage refreshment - it would be so much better if I built a bar area in the corner of the garden - I could run an extension lead for the electricity out thro the garage window and that corregated clear plastic sheeting would keep the worst of the weather off it. Shabby Chic I think they call it I've subsequently spoke to Mrs Alien about my plan - apparently I have to kill her first or something like that - definitely involved a dead body

OK just a suggestion from previous pictures I can see that removing a row or two of tiles means you can look down the cavities - can you not add suitable 2.4 m length of wood vertically down the cavity with a taper at the end to straighten/push the PIR back to being in contact with the internal wall face - then as they blow in beads pull out each length of wood knowing that the beads already in the cavity will keep the PIR in contact with the internal wall face. Insulation company would then be happy with the consistent gap from an infill perspective? Obviously if you can't push it back with 2.4m length from above then it's a bust from that perspective so a bit of wood

Well good luck when you move back in - I hope it all goes well

Because they didn’t have a car or they parked outside the gated drive?

So more to the issue than originally explained. Your house and garage are not currently occupied so he's not causing any issue to you currently and he's not causing issue for 3 & 4 When you move back in the fun will start because effectively he has no-where he can park without causing issues Of you've been there 38 years where did the previous occupants of House number 2 park in the past?

Draw the whole site please including entrance gate etc no defending the person parking there but it maybe that if he parks outside his house he restricts access to another houseowner???

How many rads? Heat loss of the house? Just for comparison and I know it's never going to be a valid comparison but 4 Bed Detached, 2 floors, 113m3 (stupid T shape so a bunch of rooms have 3 external walls) 13 Rads, circuit volume 130 L, Heat Loss 4.74 kWh - Pump Flow rate is between 300 and 600 L/Hr (former being heating circuit which has a lot more restriction and later being when on HW cyl reheat)

OK I don't have ASHP I have a Gas Boiler basically running ASHP flow temps. All rads no UFH. My pet hate is system noise (flow thro the rads) I've gone to a lot of effort to get the flow rates right for each individual room based on the target room temp - I don't run any set backs - heating is on 24/7. I am running a with weather compensated flow temp but it's been well worth the time invested in getting every room right. Highest flow temp I've seen over winter was 35 deg C. Right now the boiler is targeting 22 Deg Flow temp. Sitting in my living room right now all I can hear is the wall clock ticking no system noise at all. I think if your circuit is noisy you might have a little too much flow thro it.

houses are different - I won’t turn my heating off until mid may normally
