Yes - either use just board, or you need to stop 10mm back all the way round and then finish with a thin board / skim

You can't put insulation/board on a window or door reveal unless you have 35-40mm spare frame showing or you start hacking off the plaster thats already there.

No you will naturally pull the tile to one side - that will be the "clean" side as the back of the blade coming back up won't hit the edge of the glaze. you may also find you don't get chipping all the way down as the back edge never passes the end of the cut unless you pull all the way through.

That's known as poor planning.... ?

PB is 2400x1200 or 1800x900 double battens are only there to give you a corner to work to

more than 1 TV is the answer... small one in the kitchen useful if you want to watch whilst cooking. Also good to be able to use to stream music via TVs through the house

400 centres means you land board joints on a batten. From the corner though you need to go from the outside edge to centre, as otherwise you will end with a 25mm gap with your first board

Utility ..? Open plan kitchen..? Normal ceiling heights ..?

You need 50x25mm roofing battens, concrete screws and a decent drill. Fit the battens at 400mm centres vertically, screwed to the wall top middle and bottom. Gripfill or another adhesive won't work here so don't bother. Try to avoid hitting any pipes or wires..... Fill the gaps with 25mm insulation and then the boards go straight over the top, screwed to the battens . If you are tiling or wallpapering you can just fill the holes for the screws and the joints and then paper over. Tiles can go straight onto the board with no other finishing. Sockets just get brought forward with longer screws.

Switch them over so in an L with shower opposite window ..? Sealing that against water ingress will be a nightmare otherwise.

rdSAP allows them to modify values especially if it’s non standard. You can’t modify a declared product but if it’s not in the database you can add it. The ones that bug me though are the energy efficient light questions as it’s banded (or was) into 0-25%, 50% and 75% - there is no 100% choice ..! But I’m not surprised they don’t bother to get it right as @JSHarris says - no-one reads them ..!!

That looks tidy but........ window in the shower..??! Good thing about making it symmetrical is that you just buy two of everything.

Got to say that Sennocke may be worth a call to. They will know that Alpha and CPL are in trouble and have probably got packages ready to put in place. They are also very easy to deal with and it’s real people you talk to...

You will see a table saw “move” the tile across as it goes if the head is not perfectly aligned to the rail. Clamping a guide bar to the edge of the table works for small or thin cuts but not for wider ones.

Can you disconnect the main duct from the unit and check what’s being put out at the unit itself ..??

Read a few online reviews (also of previous trading names) and make your own decisions ... caveat emptor

I’d have left it in as a hot press / linen store etc and also as a service run from upstairs to downstairs

Easier to cut a piece of tile or timber to fit where your bottom rail is at the right angle as a tile will rotate on the pegs. Also easier to adjust as if you drill a hole in wrong place by 2mm you can’t re-drill it easily. Also, a long wedge will give the tile something to push against.

I saw in B&Q their single induction hob is half price at £19 currently. Only 2000w but still cheap !

If the pump will reach, put it into a bucket of clean water and let the tray drain into another bucket. That way you are only pumping clean water onto the blade and not cruddy water that leaves crap on the tiles.

I’d drop the slider and make access to the ensuite via the dressing room - walk through is much nicer and that corridor and two sliders opposite each other just seems odd That allows you to put the shower down the whole of the left side, bath on the right and wc opposite the window. Double basin below the window and that would work well in the space.

Tank is too small for low temps but will also need G3 sign off as install is BRegs reqt

Those are the top of the range ovens and you don't need two the same either...! Franke brassware isnt the best either - I’d ask them to swap that or you supply

Rip the coving out - if the insulation is only 1” then make it Celotex and not EPS
