Just warn him so he has a bag of something on the van.

I would leave it to him, I think he would be happier going over something he knows

I think this looks like a good bit of kit.

You’d be better off manning up a bit, if you really struggle I will get zoothorn to help you. ??

Is it worth all the agro @AnonymousBosch a 450mm riser with sealing ring is £8.60 is it worth the ag of trying to make something.

6m long boards on my ceiling in oz, used one of them with home made extensions.

What is your facia material no point putting metal gutter on plastic facia

Do you ever think you must have been a really horrible bloke in a former life. I seem to have had about 3 months of everything I own either not starting, leaking or generally just falling to pieces some days I just want to smash it all up and buy a little flat in Spain and sit in a bar waiting to die. Sorry cannot help with pump, but I feel your pain.

Nope, don’t air test the chamber. Have you brought them, as the last place I would buy them is the local BM unless you have too much money.

Do you have them, all mine have the rubber ring installed in the riser piece. Mine are only 330mm so might be different for larger rings.

Roughly 180

I have had two designs done for the ufh both come in very close on price, how many decided to buy all the bits separately and did you save much money after all the ringing around to get it separately. Both prices where around £1800 I wonder what sort of savings are to be had.

We originally thought we were having tilt n turn, but in the end went with top hung, saved a couple of quid and we really like them, however we haven’t moved I yet and won’t be for some time.

Do they not have the seal already fitted to the riser.

Have you tried chucking it on Facebook i sold all our old insulation like that, saved a lot of faff.

I would, but I would do it a bit differently. Wider trench so water one side drains on the other, the reason being your drain has to run at a certain angle to get the flow so you will need to do some careful calculations to get the depth of the trench correct, the water company will also want the water pipe at a specific depth, so yes but will require a bit of thought.

It’s been many years since I’ve done one of these, but I think you need to look at venting the old chimney some how or you can get a bit of damp. Someone else will know as own as I said long time ago.

Bare steel barb £650 tonne fabricated cages £750 tonne.

Milk is a major pollutant to aquatic life.

I will have a google @magnethead but if you find a bit with manufacturers name on then that would be good. What type of fitting has he used with it.

18mm osb is fine but it needs installing correctly sole plate needs securely fastening down then racking board needs to start with a full board stood up right, nail at the correct spacing and catching the first 3 studs, then repeat, don’t end up with a skinny bit on the corners, you should have full boards on the corners working away from them. If you have any internal walls dissecting a long run of external wall it might pay to turn that into a racking wall, you can just board the first 1200mm on the internal one and add strips to bring your plasterboard out flush. I take it you have no drawings for this just whinging it a bit, I’m no structural engineer but I have put up one or two timberframe houses so just going on what I had to do in the past. Have you goy the trusses up yet.

Really down to how you feel your relationship is with him, I bet your roof is costing you £12-15 grand at least so £150 extra to you is peanuts. It could be a good Will thing on your behalf so he thinks your a good lad so goes the extra mile to do a good job, or he thinks your a tosser who should have a forklift and cannot wait to get off your job i think there is a saying would you rather be right or happy. Or if you think he has priced it well just walk straight up to him and say you expected him to have one, the other companies that quoted the job all said they would bring one, shrug your shoulders and walk away.

Sounds horrible, reminds me of an old people’s home.

Fixed price then it’s his problem, if he has a brain he will bring his own bumpa £150 is less than a days wages and will save him hours. Do you have a tele handler local.

Depends on the racking strength of your walls, downwards pressure is not a problem, but it could all fold up like a pack of cards if you have no racking strength.
