Yep . Solvent weld for simple joints when you know it’s right no probs . More complex things use tiger seal ( or equivalent ) - you have lots of time to adjust and change . It’s messy stuff though ; certainly don’t want it on anything apart from your pipe

Use "tiger seal" to glue solvent weld. You don't have 5 pico seconds to get it right then. You have many hours!

You mean no ufh in your bathroom?

I’ll dial 999 on speakerphone before I do it ?

Just got a reply from them 2 x stringers at 95kg each

A brilliant plan ! apart from its recursive nature ....

I installed a 110kg shower tray on my own with a winch . I’ve got big bits - so that helps . Your builder is a pussy so will fail ... ????????

No access for any lift/fork - that's always been the issue. It's difficult to mount it correctly for such a weight. When I build my mini lift ( which I will! ) I'll just load it 20/30kg a time. So nice and relatively light - save me carrying everything down the stairs. All the tile adhesive , blocks, tiles - many ton's worth.

Can’t get a vehicle in there ?

Thanks for the (expletive deleted) all helpful suggestions

Tempted to get the American fridge freezer ordered then the crane can do both . Even called ao.com and explained it might be 12 steps to get it down . They said no problem!!!

My external staircase arrives soon . It’s in sections ( apparently! ) . Heaviest single component is 95kg . It will have a lip and rest on the wall to the left ; then lowered down . Though I have a winch there’s no where to fix it to . I could make a Scaff tower and get an end on there whilst the other rest on the wall . But how do I lower ? What’s the best ( and safest ) way to do this apart from crane hire ?

You’ve gone all Jimmy Saville again

Careful ! You’ll get arrested again

Is that slang for homosexuals?

Exactly - all the best things ! Up the Brizzle !

You have technology in Cornwall that can measure your power consumption????

But zero spikes now .... That ufh area off from 10am so ignore graph before that

Other spikes ? When I run the shower or hot tap ...

@SteamyTea just for you . Spike gone ! What was it ? . I forgot I had a tiny floor area ( 6 sq m ) permanently on low for ufh ( to avoid condensation around my HA stuff ) . Off now ?

Looking remotely I can see it’s not ufh . So would guess ASHP and uvc are cycling . I seem to recall there was a buffer heating option which was on . Could that be the issue ? . Tomorrow I’ll turn off heating and hot water so expect consumption to drop

Does it actually matter though ? . If it draws more to keep temperature in 20 mins or 40 mins throughout the day ( or night ) - what’s the concern ??

I’m controlling the ASHP so probably need to adjust the HA so it only checks the temperature perhaps just a few times an hour ....

Could be me running the shower and finding leaks
