+1, I did this as well, looks really good ?(even with a brick and block build ?).

What a lovely location, to die for. I,m with you in that I have a woodstove also surrounded by dense brickwork (great minds think alike) and a plenty full supply of wood nearby. I also have a south facing conservatory which I call my solar collector. Today it was 26’ so opened all the bifolds into the house and let it heat the house for free.

Yes ????. I changed my mind/build lots during my two year fight with planners.

This should be minimal!,!,

Can you not just “turn it off” when the reading is that high? Just to see if it is that causing the high usage?

I concur with a tower, would not do it any other way. However is stapling a membrane going to be good enough?. If it were me I would strip the tiles and battens, felt the roof properly and insert insulation!. What insulation are you using?, if rockwall it might be easier to insert it from the outside after lining the bottom of the rafters then felt and battens.

So can I,

@Dave_Watts what work are you intending to do?

Why, mine does both and others here have the same set up?

Ah didn’t spot that (despite looking!).

Ah, I wonder what the difference is?, forum shows someone installed one for heating/DHW in a house and various arguments .

The base of the ladder should be placed so that it is one foot away from the building for every four feet of hight to where the ladder rests against the building. This is known as the 4 to 1 rule.

I,d be more worried about the bottom slipping away, anyway you can tie the bottom to something?

Now that is something I'd like to do. What are you writing? a blog on how to build your own house ?

Before he departed I remember @Jeremy Harris saying “I am 90% finished, just 90% left to go”. It feels like that towards the end.

Whatever size you build it, it will be too small very quickly. My workshop is 10m x 8m and it’s already full and wished I had built bigger ?

ah ha, Kingspan (5Kw carrier unit) Ebay!!,!, I took a punt, £850 delivered still on original pallet. Kingspan briefly went into the ASHP market re branding standard carrier units but sold up fir some reason. My MVHR was the same, only paid a couple of hundred for it. Ebay is king (sometimes?).

If I remember correctly @Jeremy Harris originally went Sunamp because of overheating from his DHW tank.the door to his plant room warped with the heat. I have not suffered from this at all. In fact my airing cupboard is barely different from the house but I do store DHW at 48’. I also bought a Stiebel unit which is still in the loft as a back up but I think without PV, ASHP and well a insulated DHW tank works very well. My local plumber signed of the G3 fir me (I did get him to commission it fir me).

Welcome to THE build forum. We love questions but don’t forget to search for previous threads as there is lots of info here.

Have you thought about slate hooks https://www.roofingsuperstore.co.uk/product/100mm-bright-stainless-slate-hooks-point-driven-316-grade-box-of-500.html

I rest my case m,lud ?

That’s an old wife’s tale. (Of a young one ?).

With ours we were told it had to be called in by a counciler, we found one who agreed with us and called it in fir us (but still lost) till I went to appeal ?
