Similar here in location. Surprisingly our poor low speed connection (15 up, 2 down) does cope with multiple streaming, Teams / Zoom etc. Occasional buffering on a Sunday night.

@Iceverge I did not realise they did cheaper residential packages. Tempting now. Maximum available here is 15.88 Mb/s Download, 1.94 Mb/s Upload.

As @Roundtuit Minimum would be to move wardrobes to access both sides and remove all the plasterboard, check and clean the timber.

Used the Baumit Multifine RK70 with mesh on internal wood fibre insulation. Excellent product. https://baumit.co.uk/products/renovation-systems/visual-renovation/baumit-multifine-rk-70-n Do a test.

@Conor is correct. We have MVHR in an airtight* new build. It's great, works a treat in the background. Just the extract and supply in a 60sqm kitchen / dining room, again not an issue. Personally, If I did it again I would fit kitchen extract to vent outside but inaccessible ducting could be an issue. Recirculating hob should be enough and wood burner needs its own sealed air supply. * Draughty catflap.

@Nickfromwales Just reread RTFM and it does run continuously. It has a course, fine and settled sludge running for 50 minutes, then a solenoid switches to a floating sludge for 10 minutes every hour. Will give the filter a clean in the pump now! Happy International Woman's Day!

Do most treatment plants run at intervals? A bit quirky these Vortex, they have a settled sludge return which operates for 5 minutes every hour hence the timer. Will have a read of the original manual.

We have a WTE Vortex treatment pant using the same Secoh pump, in use last 6 years. Pump runs 24/7. Emptied every 2/3 years as we have an existing septic tank in use from another building. Simple timer operation with no PCB. I would simplify the operation.

@Onoff It is such a great recipe, no need to purchase Evaporust.

Bit extreme but If you ever need to make up a large volume of rust remover this recipe works. I needed to clean some steel handrails which were covered in surface rust, in the end any rusty implement went in the bath.

Most self builders on the forum had no issues with their BCO and MVHR. My BCO rejected my first self certifying report as the Anemometer had no proof of being calibrated, (used the Buildhub anemometer) I hired this :https://www.inlec.com/testo-417-vane-anemometer-with-flow-hoods Wrote a commissioning report with photos and had to be a little creative with the figures as our MVHR is slightly undersize for the volume of the house. Works perfectly though.

Same size plant room here. No UFH fitted. It's 25.5C now but nothing is on. We use it as a drying room with a kitchen maid attached to the ceiling. I did consider putting a vent in the door to utilise the excess heat. Ecodan 300 litre HW cylinder. Consumer unit. UFH Manifold and wiring centre. Not in use as we have not needed to heat the lg floor. PV diverter. Has MVHR extract. You have a lot of kit in one room so 26C-27C to be expected. Congratulations on moving in.

I used https://www.howdens.com/joinery/skirting-boards. Consistent quality product, primed and a fair price. Easy to fill and sand, I fit with SticksLike or similar and use ovals pinned through. Tried Gripfill but not worked here. I scribed the internal corners, took a bit of MDF to master but worth a try. Robin Clevett here :

I made some concrete worktops and used https://www.atsdiamondtools.co.uk for polishing pads. Have fun.

+1 for Sigma. I purchased this https://www.protilertools.co.uk/product/montolit-63p5xl-masterpiuma-p5-power-5-manual-tile-cutter-63cm
