unfortunately mine is a totally separate room

reclaiming vat on utility/plant room cupboards New build with separate utility room- can you reclaim vat if you fit kitchen cupboards to the room or does it have to be a framed cupboard with no internal panels and wall to wall?

I would be more worried at diesel engines running 2000bar in injector rail..but there has been no issues over the last 15-20years.

Wife's uncle has a thousand year old barn which is nearly derelict..he managed to get permission to dismantle and rebuild as a residential with better foundations and the necessary internals for modern living, even though listed as historical...each stone had to be mapped by an expert and rebuilt in same position. It never took place due to cost and planning has lapsed.

PD rights are generally removed where the site is contentious i.e. Greenbelt, conservation area and or where the councils are a**e holes. If they are not removed by condition on planning decision then they are still alive...Take it as a win, the PD rights are a great benefit to you.

its designed for 3 phase but can be used on single with split live and identical to De Dietrich - as per diagrams, but they must be hardwired with 40amp min and 6mm cable. Do not share connection.

the supply would be from the tank temp differential controller when it asks for heat, this would need to run through the salus boiler control and then to boiler...would the salus switchung allow the 240v?

I have installed a salus kl08nsb controller but need to run a buffer temp differential controller to switch the boiler on via the salus boiler switch, can I use 240v through the salus boiler switching terminals? the salus instructions just show 0volt switching.

Navien boilers? anyone any experience with them? looking at the installation manual and it supposedly has a High Mass Radiant setting with heating temp flow from 26c to 48 and return flow at 21 to 38, pretty much ideal for UFH

Is your house timber frame? what U values have you got on the build?

What size buffer are you using? Was hoping to avoid buffer as difficult to size without having wasted heat.

Whats the min output and temp on the atag?

looked at Vokera but shocking reliability and low warranty on recent reviews

combi boiler recommendations for 30c flow rate and 3500watt heating load?..im struggling struggling to find information from boiler companies for what I need and they dont want to email back about min load, min temp settings or modulation rates.

how old is the roof? unlikely to contain asbestos if sheets made after mid 80's. Also there are a lot of skip companies provide for sheet disposal...but you will need to register the roof with environment agency to receive a serial number for your property...this allows chain of custody when disposing of it. The skip company will take the number and issue you with a disposal number from them.

why not use perlite or vermiculite which is easily sourced

brown Wall raw plugs and 60mm x 4mm screws. hand screw rather than ragging with power driver

test guy was pretty shocked at result...he said he normally has to do a second preliminary as most are pretty poor when masonry and even then 2ish is best he has got

a few small areas around box lintel welds and around large bifold threshold which will be foamed and tiled over, walls have had a single coat of cement slurry...so probably better when boarded and plastered

Just had a preliminary air test on masonry new build flat roof bungalow before I start plaster boarding...Is 1.03 airtightness and 1.3 ACH good at this point? Is it financially worth pursuing lower?

I have looked high and low for 3 x 1 battens for corners and reveals. Has any one else had issues and any alternatives?

Surely its the same as england in that once development has commenced planning is locked in (will not expire) regardless of time taken to complete. In England its not uncommon to just put a short footing in the ground to start and lock the planning then build or sell years later.

thumbs up..Ill try a small patch test this afternoon

have you used this yourself?

I am using Illbruck ME508 duo airtight window membrane tape and have been told that you can not dot n dab on to membrane only wet plaster. Any one got experience of similar and how to fix boarding over Illbruck ME508.
