    You did well to get everything properly masked as that Diamond paint is very difficult to remove when cured. Also rollering a final coat for the walls is good. Tiling looks spot on.

    https://www.squaredealupvcshop.co.uk/ do the Hardie cement board stuff.

    In reality they won't happen as not practical / cost effective.

    You need someone to do the detail drawings. This would normally be your architect. Can MBC suggest?
  5. Mr Punter
    Well that was a grown-up resolution all round.
  6. Mr Punter
    Yes and the pattern of scribble lines indicate the block strength.
  7. Mr Punter
    I think that is the only one available.

    Did or could they suggest an alternative foundation design?
  9. Mr Punter
    I think a trial dig near the wall make sense. Don't do it near where you may be keeping the nibs of the existing wall. You may find that the existing wall foundation bears onto very stable base. Try to avoid underpinning.

    I assume this is all for below ground? Is this foul, combined or surface water?
  11. Mr Punter
    Maybe base it on extract rate of 10l/s and temperature difference of 10 degrees, year round.

    If there is a smell it is more likely the pipework letting gasses in. An open end on a washing machine connector or something connected the wrong side of the sink trap?

    The Velfac and IdealCombi trickle vents are very similar. They are not visible externally. Internally they are metal and flush with the sash when closed and protrude when open.

    I have just had gas combi boilers fitted in 3 small new build flats. Much cheaper to do, customers know where they are regarding costs, very little space used, no outside units. I appreciate that ASHPs have their advantages, but they are not always the best solution.

    It is a bit tricky as traditionally t&g floorboards were nailed down and there was expansion available between each board, which could be 5mm. If they are glued together the 5mm no longer applies and has to be multiplied by the number of boards which would be too much over 4.5m. Maybe the battens min 45mm will be better.
