    Is this sarking board or battens under the slates ..??
  2. PeterW
    How have they refitted the slates as these two are upside down ....! Look at the nail holes in the circled slates.

    Or one of these https://www.spillhut.com/35ltr-flexi-generator-drip-tray-pan-d-70cm-x-52cm-x-10cm-ftpn1

    Quickest way is a plastic tea tray sat under it as a condensate tray with a plastic tank fitting glued to a hole in the tray for the output.
  5. PeterW
    Yep they do - quite detailed too

    Unico Units are really nice - manufactured in Italy, and are very neat at 16cm thick. https://www.olimpiasplendid.com/download_area?name=Air Conditioners Without Outdoor Unit&id=1105

    +1 to this. Recent temperatures have meant that a recent one I did that has 150mm of blown bead in the walls plus 25mm of PUR internally has stayed at a really cool 22c max with no MVHR running. Roof insulation is 200mm of Earthwool plus 25/50mm of PUR and again, its room in roof and has stayed cool. Over the winter, the heating cost via ASHP and UFH was around £40/month.

    Don't do it... I would leave that stopcock alone, and then clean off the pipe above it with some fine emery paper and add in a full bore lever ball valve. Use that as your isolator, and leave the existing well alone.

    Fencing not obligatory - but worth it ...!! Stops you falling in a ditch or a wagon reversing into your footings (ask me how I know....) Sign in book is especially useful if you have trades on a day rate to validate invoices.

    Before anyone gets excited about CDM you probably need to read this thread ...

    Hire one ..? Local place to me is £30 for a weekend to get to that height

    Got a couple of nice Timloc vents that have the required flow rate that I can let you have for a reasonable price ... ?

    I checked with FastenMaster a few years back and the standard black are fine - I’ve had some in for 10 years and they are still holding well.

    I use the Timberlok screws for this but use a corded SDS drill as neither my impact or other driver gets them more than 2/3rds in. Happy with my 152 - it’s been heavily used and still going strong.

    Aren’t the efficiencies on these only 3-5% versus 19% for standard panels..??
  18. PeterW
    You need one of These

    Yep the Mira Mode digital shower unit does this. You time the first fill to your liking, then set the value. Select bath on the app, or push the button on the controller and it fills automatically As far as I know though, there isn’t a system that puts the plug in first .....

    So this is a composite UPVC with a low profile threshold, Ultion high security locks and black outside / white inside. £1450 inc VAT..... I’d say your frame is chunkier than mine ...
  22. PeterW
    Geberit is head and shoulders above the rest - you’ve struck unlucky as you’ve been provided with a non-UK part as your shower tray supplier isn’t giving you the right info....
  23. PeterW
    Wedge some timber or ply shims behind them and nut them up tight.
  24. PeterW
    Manufacturers Instructions. Some of the syphon type shower wastes need a minimum distance before a bend to keep the water flowing and draw it out of the waste
