  1. Thanks for the idea. I've used Tectite brass demountable fittings before but not tried the copper fittings, so I'll give it a try. Easy to get hold of as well.
  2. The space I want to use for running the pipework is small and I was looking for fittings that are slimmer than plastic push-fit. The Geberit FlowFit system looks good on paper but Geberit don't publish the overall diameter of a 20mm fitting. I looked at all their documents and even checked with ChatGPT.
  3. Was the Geberit system you used FlowFit?
  4. I plumbed my last self build using Speedfit, which went well, and I was planning on using it for the rest of the plumbing here.
  5. I'm only planning on plumbing one room with MLCP because of space for fittings, although if I like it, I might end up using it elsewhere. I was hoping to be able to hire the press tool.
  6. I've not used MLCP before so I have some questions. I've looked at videos of Multipipe and Geberit MLCP systems and the Geberit system looks good for access in tight spaces. Can anyone give me some advice about makes they have used and how easy it is to use an adapter to go back to existing copper or plastic pipe.
  7. When I built my place I had a Senco 1st fix and a Senco 2nd fix nailer. I used 50mm stainless brads for cedar cladding.
  8. When I designed our house, the plant room was next to the ground floor wet room, so if there was a leak, the water could flow down the shower waste. We also had all the water in one quadrant of the house, so all the pipe runs were relatively short.
  9. That's interesting, what is the reasoning behind having to use a Y instead of a swept T in that position.
  10. We had a similar layout and our ramp ran from the left, in front of the house.
  11. https://www.gov.uk/government/news/london-pioneers-first-virtual-power-station Looks like it started around six years ago.
  12. Isn't it possible to fork out a bit more and have a full SAP EPC calculated rather than an rdSAP version.
  13. After a long chat with Grok it seems the monthly cost of the Residential 100 subscription is increasing to £40 in the UK. It also told me how to see my billing preview for the the next month, which at the moment, is still £23. Grok indicated that the preview might change, but that the email was probably sent in error as the price was in dollars. I'll wait and see.
  14. I've just had notification from Starlink that my monthly payments are increasing to $40 (~£30) from next month. I thought when I signed up that I was getting the first six months at £25, and then onwards, £35 a month. There is no record of that agreement as it was on the order form that I filled in. So now I have actually paid £23 a month for the first three months and I will then be paying ~£30 a month. I hope it doesn't keep creeping up. Just a warning to others to keep a record of any agreements. It is a rolling monthly agreement so I can cancel at any time.
  15. Welcome to the forum. The form we used was 431. VAT Claim Form 431 - Blank.xls
