I used 1000's of these from Screwfix to fix Cedar and Douglas Fir Cladding. Worked well, good value, a little delicate if you want to keep removing them. Need to be square on. Described as stainless steel construction.

I fitted over 90 metres of Lindab Majestic gutters and assorted outlets, brackets, joints etc and thought the quality was very good though a bit surprised the leaf trap was plastic. Obviously looks great but the cost!

I used a holesaw for the gutters and a 5" grinder for cutting downpipes. I rotate the gutter by hand whilst cutting. I struggle using a hacksaw, the blade is to fine and narrow even using a mitre box.

Thanks for the update. Would you have a figure for your annual generation you could share?

As you say a little hazy. The signed contract is a legally binding agreement, unless you are the government but hopefully you have written email evidence confirming your conversations. I would try and keep the suppliers onside for as long as possible before you go medieval on them, perhaps a significant discount would be best. Good luck.

Did they not supply a schedule for each window to sign off, similar to the example below.

As long as its a recyclable box.

This was my new build so required for BCO. Did need one for our rental, we replaced all the old sash windows for double glazing and they then downgraded the EPC from a D to an E. After a few stroppy calls they reinstated it back to a D! You do require an EPC if selling a property.

Good point, yes, Last year consumed was 2998kWh and delivered 8581kWh. This is from the Mitsubishi readout which seems quite accurate as have an Elster and Shelly meter with very similar totals. DHW is on 24/7.

As an example our EPC stated below but last 5 years it has been an average of 3000 kWh for both DHW and Heating.

Morning, I would avoid the large drum and belt sanders for the advice already given, noise, dust and knackered sheets if not fixed correctly. If you are prepared to spend a lot of time on your knees I would use good quality sheet sander and a detail sander for the corners and against the skirting. Do a test with different grade sanding sheets / rolls and then proceed. Good quality dust mask and extraction if possible. Lovely view from the window. Do this before others encourage you to rip it all out, fit UFH, ASHP and external wall insulation!! Enjoy the Forum.

2 options, CPI or temporary freeze until CPI aligns with RPI, mid 2030's. Over 800,000 homes had FiT installations. Email address: RO@energysecurity.gov.uk Payback calculations below, November 2011.

I fitted the same and like you abit disappointed, the trap being plastic, overall does not really match the quality of the Majestic system which is excellent.

And @SteamyTea Thanks for that, will have a read and could replace with rockwool. I read that some type of aluminised vapour control membrane needs to be fitted. I will look for a drawing.

I have a 12m x 6m garage with carport on the end. I have now enclosed a 3m x 3m area to accommodate a sauna, 2m x 1.3m, separate shower +WC, and kitchen sink. Large enough to lie down, 3 seated. I had some 150mm Celotex left over so used that on the base, + 50mm concrete screed with electric UFH. Fitted Celotex in the external walls. External cold shower and above ground plunge bath eventually. Stud work completed, waiting for the electrician..

In 2017, BPC supplied a metal silencer, ASM 150600 with my kit. I fitted it between the Vent Axia unit and supply manifold only. Unit fixed down well? It might help temporarily, disconnecting one of the supply from the manifold to the bedroom as you have a double.

Just had a quick glance at your drawings, looks great. I do like the split level, we have a sloping site and all 4 entrance /exits are flush with the outside. Any doors to separate the hallway from the main living area? Noise might be an issue upstairs. We have 2 pocket doors (Not noisy) and are in use most evenings if others are in the bedrooms. I would spend time and money on soundproofing between bedrooms and bathrooms.

I fitted about 55sqm of Parador Trendtime 5 LVT, rough dimensions 900mm x 450mm x 6mm. Floating on Caberdek. Good quality product but does slightly lift where sited in direct sunlight in front of 4 metre sliding door. Very slight bow between first and second tile now. It just lays flush up against door threshold, I left expansion gaps against walls and under kitchen cabinets. Gaps all hidden. I plan to lift the first row and apply either glue or double sided. No obvious movement issues anywhere else.

Not Bosch. Lots of good advice on thread, if not ready to spend I would recommend again hiring for a weekend at least 40cc + machine. Fill it up, plug in your AirPods / headphones and keep clearing until the tank is dry, repeat and see how you feel. The site needs clearing by you or others and then kept cut back, mown using a flail / topper, ideally.

Depending on the area and frequency you wish to cut back the overgrowth, I would rent a 40cc + Husqvarna or similar for starters. It will need heavy duty strimmer line or a metal 3 tooth blade for dense and heavy grass and small woody stems. You will need a harness and eye / ear protection. Fuel and oil. I have a Huqvarna 545 RXT, it's a brute, yes expensive but will last me out if maintained. It can be exhausting clearing large areas so be realistic about your goals.

I did B, no movement or cracking. Taped and skimmed. Lets ask the boss @nod

I agree with @Mr Punter. Have 2 runs. Not a professional but I exited pipework out of the building to avoid long runs within the slab. Bit of extra external excavation but all accessible.

Please explain why you call it a softwood? Paging @SteamyTea
