All sorted in less than an hour! Buildhub members thanks again!

Hi Nick, Ok thanks for that! information has calmed us down a bit there!

the toilet bowl is 400mm off the ground which is "normal" but we just felt the flush system was a bit low, we have seen alot of them higher in photographs etc what was all

Duravit DuraSystem Basic 1148mm Toilet Fixing Frame

unsure what height we want, just looks low when we look at it, was unsure if there is a standard size or not, its a bit lower than the vanity unit thats 800mm high.

No idea? i dont think so there was lots of room for everything Just seems quite a bit low for us

itll be hard to see on this image, there is another toilet that is fitted but we dont have a image available yet.

Hi guys, Wondering if anyone can help, our plumber has installed our toilet but the flush plate is looking rather low and we think it should be higher, we did mention this before it was tiled but it has been tiled now and not moved..... so were hesitant to go back and complain as the tiles are all on now but were not 100% happy it just looks like it should be a bit higher up the wall. Has anyone got a standard size to share of theres? Thanks, Mike

how do i find that out?

Air changes per hour ?? is this the air tightness test?

internal walls? like all the walls added together or just the walls that touch outside

Thanks, that looks pretty hard to fill out to be fair

can you send the heat loss calc?

Thanks mate, i was on the phone to Grant this morning they said with a Heat loss(carried out roughly by Valliant) at 7.9 at -3.4 there 10kw unit would just about suffice as at -3 degrees there 10kw unit at 50 degrees flow rate puffs out 8.5kw heat outout. but they have said a proper heat loss needs to be carried out as valliant could of just been rough they dont know.

is it water or is it you dont get a 7.9kw heat pump? so they have said 10kw?

what do you mean? Vaillant said we needed a 10kw HP

my builder has a chosen MCS guy he uses, but when i asked him for a heat loss calc he was stuttering and muttering then eventually said the guy uses a 45w/m2 basic heat loss calc.... thats fine but if you do my house size at 225m2 and x it by 45w you dont get a 10kw heat pump lol as he said we needed, so im unsure whats going on but its made me question it any my builder (who i know wont know much about heat pumps hence why we use MCS) he was saying as we had a heat calc done from Vailliant that will do but im trying to explain to him that a vaillant ashp is much different from a grant ashp.... so a vaillant 10kw was described as needed and he thinks a 10kw grant will do then but i dont think it will as already checked a 13kw grant heat output is 10kw i think

atleast mines wouldnt be under sized haha,

Can anyone tell me what this means lol? Im assuming at -7 the heating output is 9lw?

Yeah new build mate

so it is something they are happy with, but your regular plumbing and heating engineer is going to install it like a boiler, and that's not so good. It works and all, but it could be better. Bottom line: would I do it again? Depends how much money is at stake. In our case we didn't have a lot of other options (the oil boiler had been condemned a year before and finally expired a few weeks before installation), and I think I probably would. Basically it was a calculated gamble, with various things I didn't know (noise, controls, cooling enablement) but thought were worth the risk, and some within my competence to address. I don't have final answers on those yet, but they are looking promising - I don't think there's any showstoppers. (In the worst case, moving it will be most work, but we get to rearrange the garden which needs doing anyway). On the other hand it has become a bit of a 'project' - if somebody was offering me an Ecodan for a few hundred quid more I probably would still take it (although it's possible noise etc issues would still apply) Did you get proper heat calcs carried out? Im getting told a 10kw will do?

Soooo im speaking to my builder and his mcs registered contact and there now suggesting a 10kw grant heat pump, i asked for the hear calcs and was told there going by a basic 45w per m2.... this is making me feel a tad uneasy Any advice

Yeah i was just wondering if grant was a good make.
