Or get a crap epc from a guy who doesn’t understand anything - so lowers the epc ?

I reckon with no heating anywhere on ; the basement is usually 3 degrees warmer than upstairs. 3 degrees just from being below ground level is a lot I reckon . No wind chill factor . My sump at this level has never had icy water even though above ground snow and ice . We should all live underground ??

How were you allowed this ? . My problem was the compressive strength ( that pir doesn’t have ) . So we have 300mm eps below slab .

? Just wondering ?? I’ve got 150mm pir outside basement timber frame . 150mm pir outside . 50mm pir inside timber stud . 150mm between roof rafters . 50mm all over it ( taped ) You got ufh ? . All I’m saying is with that make up above that I have - the heat loss is low . Not a technical analysis but just from living in it . We still have an opening in the structure for cables etc . - so a draught . Yet by limited testing ( I.e turning heating off ) will take 5 hours to drop 1 degree .

What’s your pir build up for underground and above ground timber frame ?

Yeah . But how much ‘heat ‘ are you going to loose across that bridge ? My SE wanted ‘special ‘ bolts for some galvanised brackets to prevent a thermal bridge . The bolts were expensive. I argued if we had a 1000 then maybe . But for 20 ? . The heat transfer/loss must be minimal . Far more important in the big things like insulation in the roof and walls is installed well .

Really want a Batton on the window frame edge so pb can fix from there to corner batton .

You can glue pir to pb . But then is the pir glued to timber frame ???? Anything like this my pb is always screwed to timber ….

Your photo did confuse me . I couldn’t work out what the pb fixes too - couldn’t see any timber stud …

Don't think there's anything in it ( though I'm sure someone will disagree ). I just left the gap. Foam filled. Then PB over it ; so more frame is visible - which I think personally is better.

I couldn't work out do the payments go up/down over the 7 year period. They are index linked to something.....

A man lives in Cornwall How long will he live ?

Can we apply SMP to @Onoff ? A man tiles a bathroom; how long will it take him to make the ufh work?

This deep in a forest off the beaten track?. You take people there yes?

Someone you lay ?

Yes . When she’s with you the capability to think is restricted/ removed .

Is that the end of the scheme forever then ?

Hence why I used an MCS approved installer - so assume sized correctly

Wish you could. Save me a few quid!. Stop bitching and get an ASHP installed in your Cornish Pasty Heaven!

I have some block paving for sell possibly . Nice design - long rectangular….

If it’s any consolation I pay the gas/lecky bills at my HMO’s . So they’ve doubled ….

I was always under the impression that the mcs was a bit of a waste of time I.e inflated install costs which you claim back later . My ASHP + install was around 7k - so it was FREE ! Turn your heating up a bit please ??

My MCS has been approved. Not complaining at £320 per quarter for 7 years. So that covers the cost and installation of the ASHP.

@Adsibob you need a 3rd opinion , not just yours and SWMBO . What does your mistress think ?
