  1. Raised seam roofing, for the dormer and all the other grey bits.
  2. @Stu84 they are just normal face bricks, we are assuming you meant hollow clay blocks like they use abroad. no sleeves needed, resin anchor and away you go. the starter profile will just need the screws and plugs they supply.
  3. Get a 600 mm piece of 200x 48 fix it to the wall with two resin anchors set at 400mm apart 24 hrs later get a crow bar and try to get it of the wall. tell us what you think.
  4. You can get the perforated sleeves in stainless mesh also. many makes not just fisher.
  5. 450 x600 concrete manhole sections, pipe enters one side, silt drops to the bottom pipe exits other side. concrete sections are about £40 and a lid about the same, so you have £200 in materials with the concrete base to sit it all on, then your labour to core drill two 110mm holes. the choice is yours, all these things are designed to cut down on labour, so £25-£30 an hour for 4 hours to fit it.
  6. I’m baffled as to why you are building with sips and then having to add extra insulation. either get a better sips product or find a different method of building happy to be educated as to the reason.
  7. If you went with something 120wide you could cover the outer face in ply to cover the top and bottom flange, for fixing to.
  8. Why not just use an i beam and fill the webbs with timber to fix to and reduce the cold bridge.
  9. 30minutes I believe new board and skim is rated at.
  10. Run your airtight membrane straight across the window holes, don’t cut them out, cut openings out when the windows arrive. run some wall roof membrane over the holes on the outside as well. carry on inside.
  11. Bite the bullet disc cutter, cut the concrete through as close to the building, break it up and chuck it in a skip, dig the ground out and lay a row of slabs slightly lower than the rest of the concrete.
  12. Morning im looking for information about some form of gate intercom. we previously looked into this when running first fix electrical, but I’m thinking technology must have moved on a bit. previously I thought at the gate a person would push a button and talk into a small box on the gate, it would buzz at the house where we would have a screen and microphone that you talk to them and either get them to drop a parcel there or push a button to get the gate to open. this all feels a bit 1980’s and I’m sure it should come up on your phone now or go to an I pad or computer screen, whatever is on at the time. if this is the case, how does it all work and what sort of cable/ signal would I need at the gate/ house end. the distance from the gate to the house is 120m. I have a duct running the length of the drive with pull cord in it for running anything. ta very much.
  13. @Gone West look up owl roofing, it’s a brush on membrane that cures with moisture, I think they reinforce it with a roll of cloth just like fibreglass without the weather problems. it uses the same fibreglass edge trims. when I did mine I got a trim that tucked under the tiles.
  14. 6x6 split 50-50 front and back so 6x3 kitchen open plan living room then 6x3 at the back with 2 small bedrooms and a tiny bathroom, we only use one bedroom the other one is a dressing room clothes hanging and drying space. bedroom is tight, double bed against one wall with 600mm at the bottom of the bed and 1m to the side of the bed. we have lived in it for two years and it’s very comfortable, the only downside is no storage. my wardrobe consists of a stack n store box with 2 pairs of good jeans and 3 pairs of work trousers, a few t shirts and that’s it, everything else in storage.
  15. Agree with this, what sort of airtight score are you after. and have you done a heat loss calculator I’ve got 180m bungalow, but with vaulted ceilings up to 5m and my Heatloss calculator was pointing to a 7kw unit.
