If you think yours will take less than a year, your in for a shock.

Picture.

Just in case anybody is in the position of needing a certain bend you don’t have. They can be heated gently and made any shape you want. Have had to do it many times.

Yep, in the last year I have had one man on site for two days, that’s it nobody here apart from me. Today i fitted 125 kg of staircase, I did stop a few times and wondered who I could get for a couple of hours to give me a hand. But all in now. Painfully slow but I think I will be £200,000 in front by the time it’s finished

Why not just install a duct with a pull cord in.

TBH that doesn’t look like a lot of glass at all, looks like a fairly standard build. I also don’t consider north to be a problem.

Warm roof.

You will probably find that in the last 50 years the house had central heating installed as well as numerous bathroom changes, every plumber that did a job would have hacked a chunk out of the joists to get their pipes in, sometimes leaving very little meat holding it all together. The loft joists will be in a better condition as pipes and cables would have been run on top instead of through the joist. If you you are going full out loft conversion you will probably be better off ripping all the ceiling joists out and replacing the whole roof, will work out quicker to start with all new or even loft trusses and a crane, will be all installed in a couple of days.

Get it right now, you will spend a long time looking at it and thinking you wish you had changed it. I moved a bathroom from one side of a room to another, so glad I did, looked fine on the plans.

Well done, I bought my first mess when I was 24. Dont get too attached to it, do it up and move on to the next one, 3-4 years.

So stick a block work skin around it. Simple.

You are not going to put your temporary battens in the same place, you just “ scatter batten “ this is enough bits of batten to hold it down no more than that.

Looking in that access hole is any water moving.

Can you get somebody to stick a camera down it. If it’s not in use it will save you a grand having to change it.

thank me later.

You can get seconds of proctor membrane on e bay roll it out and secure with battens, then rip it off and throw it away. You will throw any tarpaulin away anyhow as it will be ripped to shreds, all the pointy tops on the trusses will punch through on the first night. The blocks will not care about being wet, you will see it all dry out in a couple of weeks after the roof is on, you will start to see a change in colour after a couple of days as the moisture pulls out of the blocks. Stop worrying and get the facia on.

It will last a week before being ripped to shreds.

@willbish did this.

Nope. ?? Its all in the plumbers head, I just do as he says, as he gets all grumpy when I ask too many questions.

I asked this question long ago as I was confused, mine are going in this week, 3 manifolds in total cold hot hot return. The hot return is for the hots that have a distance to travel the kitchen and one bathroom are right next to the plant room so just a normal hot feed to them.

DO NOT DEMOLISH IT BEFORE YOU HAVE YOUR NEW PLANNING IN PLACE. just because you have a piece of land does not guarantee you will get the new planning.

Found the answer to my question @dnb i personally do not need any fire proof measures as it a non habitable area above. If it was a bedroom it could be different so you may need to ask bc.

Can you not just set the TMV to 46 for sign off, then turn it up afterwards.

No rest for the wicked ?? good job bud.

I think @trialuser is talking about a press fit system that you need the clamping tool, best part of a grand.
