Taff

Anyone installed this, I’ve done a search that comes up with x2 x3 x4 etc etc. All I want is armoured cable to run from the BT post underground to the house. There will only be one telephone line. Confused which to get!

Thanks for this link?

How you finding this, is it functioning as predicted? dont know why it keeps attaching @Jamesp post, cannot get rid of it. What chance have I got running something complicated! Just spoken the to the people supplying ours, he said all the calculations work out and it would be fine. The only advantages would be higher flow rates and quicker recovery time for the hot water. To be safe I’ve opted to upgrade to the 11kw it was an extra 900. Just told the misses to cancel the curtains ?

just contacted Mitsubishi uk and they have stated that your correct. The standard 300L would need a minimum of 11kw. He mentioned that the solar tank could be run with the 8.5kw. I’m sure there’s folk on here running an 8.5kw with a standard 300ltr! I may be wrong

I’ll email the company supplying ours and see what they say ?

We’ve been told that the 8.5kw ASHP along with the 300ltr wouldn’t be any issues!

Cheers guys think I’m being positively ripped off, think I’ll investigate.

Looking to sort some scaffolding prior to sips install then stonework. Builder has quoted me £7k is this price ok? Anyone any idea how much scaffolding would cost to purchase, an amount for a standard 2 storey build? anyone have any prices/quotes for the north east area? cheers

Just don’t use mine!!

Think that’s getting a bit technical for me, I just need to know if the architect has recommended adequate

Wow that’s thick. We’ve chosen 150! Do you think that’s adequate. Ours is a sips build and trying to avoid loss through the floor. hows yours! is it warm? we using 20mm pir perimeter also wondering if this is adequate too.

Even with all the layers we will put in? vapour control layer polythene membrane perimeter screed upstand with pir insulation foil faced rigid pir insulation board floor screed

Are we saying it’ll make the house cold?

Not too hand I’ll need to dig them out later

Thanks Peter, Our option was to be raft however For what ever reason due to the ground conditions this had to be re looked at. we were going for piles but they would have incurred a lengthy delay. So engineers came up with 250 raft with an elevated block beam plan. Don’t know why or how as I’m not clever enough. We might even utilise the space under the beam! So just to confirm the foundation masonry it would be below the block and beam level? And my thinking that this entry entry would then not be required? thanks

Confused.com! Morning can anyone help please. Within my build stage summary see pic. would anyone know what the foundation masonry is? there’s a raft with a block and beam structure on it what else would be required Ta

?

Back to the drawing board then! Or maybe the tap ? it was worth an ask/exploration. We will still be putting a channel at the end of the garden running from both sides into a wildlife pond/water collecting area similar to a french drain. when some gadget/idea that will do what we need we could maybe utilise this. Thanks for all the feedback ?

That sounds a great idea but In Winter when there’s shed loads of rain water I’d be scared we flood everywhere. The water off the house will go directly into sewer system. The garage I’m going to look at diverting into water butts with an option to divert into sewer system as required. I haven’t done any research yet I just hoped someone one here had tried and tested method

@SuperJohnG @Simplysimon Sorry for late response we have been off line. well the soil was very sandy once we broke ground so we had to go back to the drawing board. We initially opted for the slab but i was told it wouldn’t or possibly wouldn’t work. We had the engineers back out to assess. The hole is even deeper which was then filled with concrete. 250-300 thick without checking. They are now going to build this up with breeze as it is lower on the back of the house. They will then use the block and beam method so that there is a void underneath. It was either this option or go with piles. It was cheaper this way. It better bloody be ok. never seen a raft built only to be covered with block and beam ?

Oh um I would need to check as I confused now! Sorry for late reply we have been off line

Hi everyone, whilst it’s hot with no rain, I thought I’d research rain!! im looking to harvest rain this is purely for watering the garden. Has anyone any ideas? Don’t want to spend too much but eventually we will have lots of shrubs/plants etc to water so will be using quite a bit. We will be having a pond (no fish) just wildlife it’ll be a place for the water to collect at the lowest part of the garden. I will introduce 2 water butts off the garage. The house and driveway will soak away into the mains. so question is should I bury something to collect or should we just utilise this pond? Also pumps to hose is there such a thing? Thanks everyone

I’m assured that insulation will be correct, today’s job is to find out the best method and materials to sit on the blocks. Have you had experience in this. I’m looking for a low uv, target for walls is 13 so it would be daft and a waste if we couldn’t achieve this on the floor too
