I used 220mm eps full fill which gave me a wall u value of 0.135 at a third of the cost of kingspan boards. There is a white paper which Kingspan agree with that states that due to +/- 5mm dimension of blocks creates a gap behind the board that reduces insulation value by 10-15%, it went on to state a 15-25mm gap caused by poor construction from cement snots would be a reduction of up to 40%.

is dpc at floor level? if so he could possibly overhang the inside or outside wall block 10mm all round (or 5mm on each) to gain back your cavity size.

Just filling in VAT form...which plans do they require? planning or building control?

Im not sure the council planning have written that condition correctly. Removal of PD rights is usually very specific as to which part of the Town and country planning GPDO to which it is referring. A appeal inspector would soon remove a condition that is in appropriate. Regarding the reduction of house value...it is what it is. If you want it then buy it but do not expect the seller to reduce it because of PD issue.

https://orlitech.co.uk Christopher.Hirst@orlimex.co.uk No BBA cert...That's why they cost so much from TEPLO. My structural engineer jus checked spec and signed them off.

I used 6mm sand coated basalt from Orlimex UK Limited. they supplied in 2.5m lengths then just cut them to length and install an o ring in the middle as a drip. They costed out at 22p each.

Not that article.... similar but obviously bastardized after reading the noaa.

So finally had as built epc done on Flat roofed 125M2 masonry bungalow. U-values roof .10, floor .10, walls .13, windows and doors average at .9. Airtightness 0.8ach. Gas Combi but its used 170Kw during 23days of november for heating at 18c with no one living in house. I thought I had done pretty well on a tight budget. EPC is B -85 what the !!! no suggested possible improvement apart from 2.5Kw solar. So EPC not really worth the paper when you consider my current 20year old barn conversion got b -81

All this talk of CO2 but very little has been said about the ozone hole over the antarctic which is much bigger today than it was 40 years ago...and that is why the ice cap has suddenly increased it melt

You dont have sever heart failure.

no suggestions?

Why dont you just dump in his toilet and tell him its chocolate, lol...he was so happy with the result.

Finally got my exterior render and cladding finished and need Coping installing along roof parapet. Does anyone know of supplier/installer in North of England (Leeds)

Fairly standard to add lime to portland...gives a strong mix with flex and better ability to breathe. same mix with sharp sand goes as hard as concrete after many years

unfortunately mine is a totally separate room
