    I wonder if there's a hybrid method feasible...EPS/XPS down low, over and below the DPC then Rockwool above.

    Not if they do it themselves! Now...where's my trowel & hawk...
  3. I've no probs wiring it up just this thread made me question whether Honeywell is wired/ported different to the Tower one in at the mo. I tell you what you can tell the quality of Honeywell compared to Tower. Streets ahead right down to the tinning on the wires and documentation. I'm a convert!
  4. This is the one I have: Straight out of the box, not wired up and set to Auto it ports to B. Set to Man and it ports to A & B.
  5. He says Honeywell above. I'm only asking as I've one (a Honeywell) to fit. I'm going to run it on the bench so I make bloody sure I know how it ports.
  6. Is that a 3 way diverter valve as opposed to a mid position one? What model btw?
  7. Same with tiling, less visible areas first...whoops!

    Talking ballpark here but my external walls are an odd mixture. There's brick & block with a nom uninsulated 60mm cavity, often a mix of brick and block in the same leaf judging by what I found doing the bathroom. I think then I have a 9" block section and also a 9" brick section too. Whatever the wall construction it's all externally rendered. Not sure what's the worst but imagine one of the 9" solid walls. What nominal thickness of Rockwool should I aim for on a retro fit and what U value should I aim for? Any tables about with what U values for what wall make up? Monkey see monkey do here! Cheers
  9. This quip from @jack deserves to be crowned champignon I think.
  10. I simply shan't or else I'll have no fun!
  11. Disqualified, @Big Neil had that one!
  12. Taking serious threads like this off piste should be a criminol offence.....

    So can you safely bridge the DPC with Rockwool? As in if taking any retro fit EWI down past it (the DPC) to help with cold bridging at floor level.
  14. Some figures here:
  15. Quorny jokes galore on here tonight!
  16. Didn't we suggest Leyland Super Leytex? Or even the No Nonsense one.
  17. Perhaps take the truffle to read the earlier posts next time?
  18. You beat me to it! I find this helps fit any hose to any hoover / fitting:
  19. I just use my Mirka with a generic vac, Earlex 1000 branded as Wickes.

    I can imagine a fierce fire cracking any render.
  21. @Brickie already had that!
  22. Look at @PeterStarck's blog. He used icynene.

    Has anyone ever deliberately smacked a hole in a pir/eps EWI'd wall and torched it?
  24. Proper planning: Going to wet cut these visible rips. The Rubi cutter just doesn't give a good enough edge on these ceramics.
