Have looked at this for a few days then went another route, don’t see why it would be more expensive than any other method. I would certainly choose it over a suspended timber floor. Why do you need such a system.

oh God, don’t use a flexi.

For the sake of £2 worth of rope put it in.

Bit confused here @MikeSharp01 are you buying from a uk dealer, or direct from overseas. If from a uk dealer do you not have a fixed price regardless of if the world ends.

Could you tell me @MikeSharp01 @andyscotland Who you have gone with for windows if you are bringing them in from overseas. Cheers.

Have you seen the spring loaded clips that hold lead into a brick join. You could probably cut a neat chase and use the clips then use a ct1 type sealer to finish off.

It’s six weeks notification in a conservation area.

The time you have altered it and faffed about, you may as well cut the whole roof off and use attic trusses, get a crane in and get it all up in a few days, cover the lot in a scaffolding tent to save losing anytime over winter.

No need to sugar coat it, the blokes going to spend a quarter of a million pounds on that. Get it sorted or walk away.

I think you need to grow a pair, go And ask if they are happy with it, if they say that it’s ok then walk away, if they have not noticed it then what is the standard else where.

I worked at her house for a whole day before realising who it was lets just say she was a SMOOTH OPERATOR.

I did a job for a very nice 80s pop star who lives in painswick, do you ever see her around @selfbuildrookie Will you have any stone rock to dig out, have a free tip here for it if you do?

like this.

I think you would be surprised how knocked about they get on a building site, it would need to be very damaged to not be usable. Picture. Try not to cut them as it’s a ball ache.

Have your floor beams been designed to accommodate the pipes coming up, may be better to get the beams in and manipulate pipe accordingly.

Whereabouts are you I’m in Cirencester, there are a few of us on here all local to me.

So if your floor is not fitted yet, why not move the pipe into the correct position ?‍♂️

You need to compare apples with apples im having window quotes at the moment. £15,000 cheapest, £30,000 dearest. They are definitely not the same quality, you can get anything cheaper if you look around but it will definitely not be the same standard.

Have you watched the grand design programme when they where trying to restore an old castle, when OH DEAR IT JUST FELL DOWN.

Do you need that membrane with your wall build up??? Why not just have shadow gap cladding? I thought that membrane was for timberframe and is used because it’s UV safe and won’t be effected by the light getting through the gaps.

Things like gutter will fit to facia board, cctv can go under the soffit, I have thought of fitting 250mm squares of compac foam cut flush into the surface to fit any other things in random positions. I think it’s a case of careful planning.

Has anybody got any opinions on the above, they both look and feel very nice, but would like some real world opinions from anybody who has them or looked at them. Cheers.

So went to the rationel showroom closest to me to find out they don’t actually do a lift n slide door in the size we want and that the quote we have had is actually for another make. Has anybody fitted rationel windows with a different door ???

Whys that, stays perfectly white, hard wearing. What don’t you like ?

Won’t you have the inside sprayed white by the window company ? then you won’t have to paint them for many many years then you just use an acrylic eggshell.
