    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

    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.

    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

    Thanks everyone, it looks like in screed wins. I will pass your comments onto my son, he was the one that suggested over screed. Geoff

    Hi all, I have searched and have not been able to find this question, although I am sure it will have been asked previously. The question is is it better to have the UFH in the screed or on top, like the Wunda system which is installed on the finished screed. The main advantage seems to be the quicker warm up time and I cannot see any downsides. Thanks, Geoff

    Just a thought, is there any length restrictions for the tails between the meter and consumer unit?

    Sorry if this is in the wrong place. We are sorting out everything for the planning application (plot in Ceredigion) and would now like to get an idea of the costs and timescales for all of the services, it is a side plot in a row of bungalows Electrical: Existing is overhead to the plot boandry. Who do we contact? Water: I believe it goes under what will be the front of the bungalow: who to contact? Sewer: I believe the mains is out in the middle of the road: who to contact. Telephone/broadband: no idea where this is placed: who to contact? Thanks Geoff

    Hi Peter, I have found the Local plan, it will take a bit of reading. Do you have any idea where I might find the national framework, I did read somewhere some time ago that the self builder would definitely be excempt from the S106 once it was in the framework, this was in 2015/2016.
  24. geoffdg
    Thanks for that, I have tried the Council but didn't get any further than complete a Pre Application.

    Good morning, Does anyone know if a section 106 would apply to a building plot in Ceredigion? It has no planning permission. Reading up on it has been pretty fruitless as it seems to depend on individual Councils and law seems to change regularly. Thanks Geoff
