  1. ? It was a bit of a mare to get 19 pipes to all play nicely . Functionality over form .
  2. An excellent point ! . Noggin to be added . So when are you starting my bathroom??
  3. Yeah . Once I’m sure it doesn’t leak will foam the hole and foil tape over it .
  4. Hep2o connectors on . Seems solid enough
  5. Note to self . lag pipes as you go not after they have all been installed .

    Do the stainless steel - will look well smart . What’s the cost of that coming in at ?
  7. Fair point . I’ll semi cheat and wrap all the hots together !!
  8. Ok . Individual hot pipes not an issue . But where they all cross is going to be a pain - photo 2 Rather than try and do each hot individually can I cheat a bit here and wrap the whole lot ( hot and cold ) in some foil backed insulation I have lying around - photo 1
  9. Automate while you can ! Qubino or fibaro dimmers . Go on make the leap !!!!
  10. We should form a club !!

    I don’t want to ignore the foamed in block - it keeps me awake at night .... ?
  13. That’ll leak tomorrow ?
  14. The 600mm copper stem and back plate arrived today . 600mm is plenty - my only minor concern is I’ll have a non accessible Hep2o to copper fitting in my wall . Should I worry ??? ?
  15. Exactly what I did - just use off cuts to cover timbers face .
  16. Transmission received and understood!
  17. The hot water comes from a uvc .
  18. Really ? Even though the hot pipes enter no cold space ( loft etc ) ????
  19. Probably a stupid question. But should I lag the hot pipes?. No pipes in the entire build go through a cold space i.e. they are all within the insulated build. The hot pipes (due to so many of them) do cross over cold pipes - so not sure if that's an issue. Thanks in advance as usual!
  20. Hey ! Yet to turn mine on ! . Tbh even if I did I have no windows or doors - so unlikely to be effective ?. It’s all coming though ; just slowly .............
  21. Our build is more complex but we had the exact same issue that the ufh clips could not penetrate the below ground water proofing . Just used the ‘egg cup’ plastic ( forgive lack of terminology) . So ufh clipped inbetween those . Upper layer ( which is B and B ) did a membrane first , then pir - then sheet to protect pir from screed . So happily pierced that sheet with ufh clips .
  22. Crumbs ! Makes discussions with the EU look easy . What an earth is going to happen when we get to plumbing , electrics etc. Etc.
  23. I’m sure you are right - it’s just Sod’s law and all that . But using the floor to effectively mark the ceiling is a neat tip !
  24. I get the plan and it is good but I worry when I cut the lighting hole after plaster/paint I’m bound to Nick a cable . What is the issue of plastering upto a hole ? Is it the plasterer likes/needs an edge ? Or perhaps it’s just the actual skim around a circular opening ??
