Hi, I have fitted metal herringbone struts to the truss joists and the strut metal plus the nail head means there is around 3 to 4mm below the joist.will this affect the fitting of the plasterboard

Thanks everyone

Hi all, Can anyone tell me what the distance from the wall to the centre of the waste pipes would be for wc (would probably be a close coupled), hand basin and sink. Just trying to figure out out to get the position right as they come up through the raft Thanks, Geoff

A bit off topic but what is the heat exchanger for?

Like the top picture, with the screw head alignment detail

Thanks Vijay, just bought 2 pairs for pick up tomorrow

Good idea, Temp

Thanks, We will have "A" & "B", good point with the VAT. It does seem a ridiculous system.

Hi all, We will be applying for planning permission in a couple of weeks time and not wanting to fall into the trap, can anyone let me know the correct timings for what I believe is a 4 part document. Form1: Assume liability form Form 2: Claim exception form Form 3: Commencement form Form 4: Confirmation of details form. Thanks, Geoff

Thanks everyone for the information, a bit more for me to investigate.

Thanks, I will look into them

Hi all, We are looking for recommendations for Facia and soffit board materials and suppliers. Ideally little maintenance needed, not uPVC and not gloss painted. Thanks, Geoff

Hi John, It will be a pretty standard build, just complying with building regs. Unfortunately there is no gas in the village, we could get LPG but the neighbours have an agreement with the oil supplier for a discount.

Recovering Academic, I agree that the PV seems the obvious choice, with no real science just gut feel and appears to be most people's choice. It was our Architect that suggested Solar thermal. It will be interesting what information comes back from this post.

Hi all, We are looking for some help with the best configuration of heating and hot water system. We will likely have oil on site, a wood burner and solar thermal panels. How would we put these together for the best system. We will have under floor heating. We could make room for a storage tank but we're thinking of just having an oil Combination boiler for the hot and heating until the Architect came up with solar thermal panels for SAP. We will only use the wood burner on occational cold evenings. Any guidance would be appreciated. Thanks, Geoff
