In the time you’ve faffed about it would be in now. I have found that I find the solution to a problem, I then spend two weeks looking at ways to do it cheaper, try to reinvent the wheel, buy something crap. then throw the crap thing away and buy the part I should have bought two weeks ago.

As Conner said you need 110mm through slab and up, then change to 50mm you can have the 50 in the screed or insulation but not to run down and out. back inlet gulleys are for plumbing in a small kitchen refit, or trying to get an extra hand basin out, not for anything new where you have the ability to do it correctly.

Just give them a call i had a nice lady from the council come round, she could clearly see we didn’t live in it. and has also offered us advice on another issue we have.

Public liability now then, then add £100,000 rebuild to it every year you renew it. I’ve upped the rebuild cost of mine three times now. have renewed it 4 times.

Was that one on Amazon no good.

So is it an empty shell, or are they going to live in it. we are using protek, have never had to claim thankfully so can’t really comment if they are good, but they’re always helpful on the phone.

Why are you cutting it 1cm, if it’s under carpet then cut a proper chase out fit proper plastic conduit and fill it back in with screed, carpet over the top.

Time to walk away, it looked overpriced to me.

Tbh you don’t have a lot of choices you can’t stop the concrete mid pour and insert a dpc so unless you pour, stop, add dpc and then pour again there’s no other way i know of doing it.

I found that scratching it up and putting a coat of render on them, then any glue you use will stick better.

Get a waterproof admixture in the first load of concrete, bring that up to dpc level, then your normal concrete mix after that. how is the rest of the icf formed if your only worried about that bit.

I’ve just re read M4 and you are correct on room size. I’ve been going by some drawing I have see of clear uninterrupted space of 750 square. with the 900 wide I believe the basin can project into that 900 width.

What are we all looking at, mines been designed around a 750 square I certainly haven’t got 900 wide clear space.

Don’t install something you will hate, just to comply. find a better solution. a mate of mine recessed a small sink 90mm into a stud wall to get the required clearance. remember you only need a square of 750mm in front of the toilet for disabled regs.

This is always a difficult area to make look good, I’ve rarely seen a good finish here.
