  • About Me
    40 years in IT, then made redundant, which has helped enormously in building. Helped with building renovations and extensions, but it was always a dream to build our own energy efficient house. Well, here we are having started (properly) in late 2020, and very proud of what we have achieved (so far!)

    Duck.ai:- https://www.legislation.gov.uk/uksi/2010/2214/schedule/2 - See CLASS 6 Point 1.

    For internal floor space up to 30m2, no building control required in England. Don't tell my friends about my uncalibrated tape measure.

    Yes, you're overthinking it. As long as the ribs are supported, the bit you will be standing on will be plenty strong enough. FYI - one of ours sits on a wooden frame suitably waterproofed

    Good to see that things are progressing well. That DPC and insulation looks the nuts

    Welcome. Have fun with your build.

    Finished, after a few false starts.

    Here's that post I made reference to above

    Chased in with a hot knife - I posted a video on here when I did it. Most services are in our web joist ceilings. We also have the standard 0.24 U blocks. We didn't go bonkers with AT and got a 1.8 result. I've since blocked up some major known leak points but can't be bothered with a retest. Our heating was not on much last winter.

    About 300mm in my case

    That is a neat solution. Maybe a bit OTT even for me 😀

    Youtube has answered A plate between the top of the wall and the panel, then the eaves flashing goes over the top. The water falls between the two.

    Anyone there? The hub seems a quiet slow place these days. Either that or I've upset you all 🙂

    Good for you.

    After a frustrating time getting damaged deliveries of channels, I scrapped using a recommended supplier from this here hub and found a new supplier closer to home where a perfectionist could collect and transport the good themselves. Also, the top rail came in one piece (5750mm cut to length) which was an interesting 27 mile drive on top of a Volvo V50. But we have started... First piece not quite vertical as two wedges missing from kit. Being posted out to arrive over weekend

    On our old house the tarmac drive went tight up to the concrete garage floor, just a little lower, I guess to minimise water being driven into the garage. The drive sloped away from the garage. Just poured our garage slab/floor and I went for level, but didn't achieve it. I need to self level a portion to stop liquid collecting at the back of the garage. I guess that is DPC showing? In which case any concrete should end up below that anyway. What is the channel? Sounds like you may need a step at the fire door.
