Ok people, my situation mains pipe coming in from street travels 180m to old house, no check valve installed, I knock down old house and build a new one and reconnect pipe, who will be coming to inspect my new check valve, if I haven’t got one what will happen??? am I likely going to end up on D wing being someone’s bitch or should I not be worried. ??

No matter what you paint it with you will get fluffy edges so you will need to sand between coats. Expect to put on more coats than you thought.

This is entirely up to you, at what point do you want to stop paying them? At what point do you think you won’t need them. We had a price north of £35 grand to hold our hand throughout the build, we paid just over £5 grand and got rid of them as they where of no use anymore. Its really down to how capable you are and if you need your project managing or your happy to go it alone.

If he has gone over his vat threshold and not registered he could be in trouble.

So being an extension you cannot claim it back either. Thats a bugger.

Is this a new build or an extension your figure of £86 grand is confusing the issue. If your builder is not vat registered he can’t charge you vat, no matter what he thinks.

4inch grinder with a diamond blade. Wiggle it from side to side whilst plunging. Would take less than a minute per slot.

If you don’t like the bathroom layout it is fairly easy to lift those blocks and change the pipework i myself have changed my mind on an en-suite and in a days work I lifted the blocks and re routed the pipe work, so don’t feel you are stuck with that layout.

How does the price change from the plot that is built to one of the ones that isn’t started, are they all for sale? if you had a virgin one you wouldn’t be locked into that shape. You need to get a set of drawings and see what the design was, as being built 10 years ago you will need to add more insulation to the top of that floor than in the previous design. Is there the height to get all the insulation in without messing up the planning if there was a height restriction on the original design. You will be looking at adding minimum 150mm of insulation plus 75mm screed plus 20mm floor finish, so your finished floor will be 250 ish above what you see in that pic. Go back to the planners and check you can build it to comply with current regs before you commit i personaly would not want to pay much for any work that is done as I would rather see it go in correctly in my own eyes.

Have a google loads of company’s about, remember you will need a crane for the day so factor in £6-700 for that.

Concrete is easy to find, it’s the pump guy with icf knowledge that you want, if they have never done an icf pump job, don’t use them. This is something you definitely want by recommendation, not the local smash it and run crew.

Fook me, don’t touch it, that’s the top of an old nuclear warhead.

£1200 supply only, 240 square m house 5.3m to the top of the walls. On site for 8 weeks.

£87+ vat a cube £600 cash for a 30m pump.

But that won’t work if you put up battens and plywood, you are still going to have to air seal it.

If you want a nice plastered finish why not tape and joint it, my last house was like this and the new one will be also far easier to get a better desired finish than poor skimming finish plaster is not good for sanding and touching up , whereas the new breed of fine top coat board finishes are designed for sanding. The days of seeing taped joints is long gone as long as you know what level of finish you want.

I worked on a house that was bought for 20 million and left abandoned, as it was listed and they wouldn’t let him do what he wanted, so he let it fall down.

No idea, I’m still looking for it in this backwards stuck in the dark ages country. Readily available in the states and Australia.

Yep that’s normal in the grand scheme of things if he was on site 50 mins it’s only another £30.

Instead of your shadow gap thing do you know you can get a special profile to put between the sheets to provide the gap I’m thinking of having this on a wall and a ceiling, but all hidden fixings.

Couple of sets on e bay near you.

I think you buy them direct from the manufacturer i think mine where BLAKES. If they come bent send them back, no different than buying anything really. They really are hard to damage, imagine some of the Neanderthal blokes that use them.

Where’s Ullapool, oh and hello by the way.

If you talk to swift form make sure you mention me and the pics on there website, I have an order I will be placing soon and expect a reasonable discount.

All I would say is it’s not normal to dig your ring beam trench before the piling contractor, he may struggle to get his rig in position with trenches everywhere, he will also collapse the sides of your trench with his rig. Normally put piles in then dig between the piles.
