  1. it was making hot water. prove different. utter nonsense.
  2. it would be you wouldnt want to be any less than 305mm pozis if you want to get soil pipes through them.
  3. its silent for all intents, your neighbours are not going to have a clue what its doing.
  4. dont have a pic of the corner but all you do is run the damp across into the cavity so its sandwiched when the corner block is laid. The brickie will know. oh and if you do bring it down 100mm top and bottom 600 wide damp isnt enough you need 900.
  5. we used the 'tony tray'. in reality the DPC doesn't rip, timber isnt sharp. Very easy to do, little more work for brickie but guarantees a seal. i brought ours down 100mm and stuck the 'flap' to the blockwork as belt and braces.
  6. could have been a 1 off payment to the original owner though. Allways worth checking when doing legals.
  7. yeah right lol the software police will come and make sure you dont press the 'cooling' button as that is the only difference in the setup.
  8. yeah i dont think you know what a fancoil is. you dont need planning permission for hanging a rad lol.
  9. sounds like your going to paying for moving it then, they have a valid paid for wayleave. doesnt matter if ownership changes it doesnt negate it. pays never to skimp on legal searches.
  10. so when you bought the plot, your solicitor would have gotten all the wayleave details no ?
  11. can allways use fancoils if space limited, double as AC in summer as well.
  12. cant see the difference, just do dew point calc to see where it is going to form in your makeup. cant see adding more insulation would make it worse though ?
  13. it doesnt at least for cavity batts. our 150cav is completely full with dritherm, air flow leeches heat.
  14. does seem to be OTT size but then its going to be a rip off MCS installer so to be expected. our new regs new build heating requirement came out at 29w / m2 with a -15C outside temp less than half of that at zero when i did the initial calcs, actual performance is a little better.
  15. without doing the dew point analysis, could you not put 50mm celotex in the cavity ?
  16. almost like an oven but with zero insulation round it!
  17. you may be overthinking this. if they are 2 part cills you can just cut them to suit.
  18. 2 ovens, micro and coffee machine in a quad setup.
  19. the comprimise on squeezing in the WC is to block off the lounge opening to release a corner, massive difference in space.
  20. no, you have the width of the tile to account for as well.
  21. yes we use a powerwall. microinverters defeat the issue with shading string inverters suffer with i understand.
  22. any flow temp 40c+ is going to painfull to run. is there scope to better the insulation ?
  23. the best inverters for solar are the micro ones attached to each panel so cant serve a battery as well ?
  24. wonder if they are DNO approved ?
  25. doesnt come with an inverter ?
