If you are interested in growing both trees and agricultural / horticultural crops on the same piece of land have a look at the link below. https://www.agroforestry.co.uk We planted a thousand trees as soon as we moved onto our plot 12 years ago with a subsidy from Woodland Trust. Avoid the BBC.

I used 22mm Caberdek P5 with D4 glue and screws.

Hi Tom, would you be able to share a drawing or photograph of the above detail.

@Dominic @Blooda @daunker I sent off my VAT Reclaim 6 weeks ago but not had any response yet. Sent via Royal Mail and delivered and signed for. Wondering if either of you have had any progress. Thank you.

This is the solution. Our local farmer had scissor lift and tele handler and helped remove large steel frame Agri shed for us. Then digger to remove existing concrete pad before starting to level the site.

Cladding is British WRC. About 200mm wide boards fixed using Tongue Tite.

I appreciate cost is a factor. The Spax fixings are 20 pence each and I used the Tongue Tite fixings at 5 pence each from Toolstation.

I fitted about 250sqm of Cedar using stainless steel screws. The heads disappear under the surface.

Nope, and baffles, partitions, ceiling hatch and 21 fake hip rafters. The existing roof space had no insulation or even felt under the tiles. Lessons learnt if I have to do it all again.

We had a Brown long eared bat maternity roost in our existing dwelling. 2m minimum height was required and like for like was requested for the space so built a 12m x 6m garage, planning showed no interest in the size of the new garage which was a win. The underside of the roof had to be lined with bitumen F1 felt and entrance and exit points at each gable end. The south facing roof had to be filled with cement between the battens under the metal roof to retain the heat and a heater inside! Try for the garden office roof space.

In Lambeth CPZ it is £23.10 per trade vehicle per day.

I bought a single Lyte roof ladder 4.5m to fit 300sqm of Tata Urban Seam roof. Very good quality and easy to move around.

Underneath both battens.

Here is a video of spring replacement. Velux are usually very helpful.

What pitch is the roof? It can have an effect on centre pivot windows. You could ask Velux if some stronger friction springs are available.

This. Used the disc below. Perfect.

We have similar size home of 275sqm but large volume at 750m3. The ASHP used 1900kWh for heating and 1800kWh for DHW during 2021. I would recommend some PV and a PV diverter.

I have used locally (South Devon) sourced Western red cedar, definitely knottier than imported. These boards are 20mm x 195mm. You can see the difference in colour after a year being installed.

No, In my experience dealing with a National Park. And back then it was free. Our first application was then refused which in retrospect worked in our favour.

Under permitted development I think your proposed rear extension can cover no more than 50% of the original dwelling. Have a read of this. https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/830643/190910_Tech_Guide_for_publishing.pdf

I might well be wrong but my understanding is that the proposed new extension cannot be built across your previous extension only across the original dwelling.

Can you let us know of any changes to your tariff in April, Thank you.

It is an open ended system not sealed like the enclosed image above?

Hi Joe, Can you give me some advice regarding rumble / rumbling drain. We have been using the Vortex for a few years with the outlet to a ditch but is dry a lot of the year. I am thinking of adding a rumble drain, perforated pipe bedded in gravel with a geotex membrane. What size system did you install?
