  1. nothing to do with any of that 6th form nonsense. Blair decided to throw open the gates to mass immigration without ever asking for a mandate. The results of this is now being reaped and jolly good it is too. It's all too delicious really.
  2. ccant see your scale.
  3. no reason at all to leak if done properly. Maintenance free and no crappy muck for the frost to crack off.
  4. the nail through the last dry virge clip really makes the whole job shine. If your still wanting it, snag it - cost to correct. Lower offer based on this to the developer. Otherwise just budget it in to fix it up, none of its a show stopper. Who was the developer ?
  5. hallways look massively wide lot of wasted space. bed 4 is mostly corridor don't like that assume your garden is at the rear (opposite side to front door) in which case is want living room on side side. id get rid of the pointless diagonal in lounge making the already massive hallway more massive and put pair of doors into it. not seeing any storage/cupboards anywhere. are you limited in height ? Bungalow style windows in roof dont do it for me, especially how they look like nailed on boxes on your plans. Much maintenance for them. assume you are north of Hadrian's hence the god awful render.
  6. http://www.brick-panels.co.uk/brick_tiles_panels_with_insulation.html will look crap but still better than render.
  7. so they forgot to put a 110 pipe under the footings to pull it through then. They have bodged it, mains water should never be above ground (or less than 750mm) so it doesnt freeze.
  8. are the CBI that bastion of impartiality. Sorry i don't do woke speak.
  9. the Irish have done very well indeed out of the EU. Wonder how much of the massive amount of cash we wasted on the EU over the years ended up in south ireland. Probably why the roads here are crap, the schools dont have enough kit, impossible to get a GP appointment etc etc
  10. especially the ones in brussels we had no abilty to remove from office. a.k.a the Kinnocks
  11. buy an ifor williams trailer and put a shed on it ?
  12. its behind the skirting, looks much more professional.
  13. i agree its not a good step forward. A lot of people moving into heat pump driven homes will feel conned i think when they realise they are back into the 70's of waiting for an immersion to get the tank up to heat before they can have a quick shower while everyone else has to share a bath as the hot water has ran out. Without massive expense it's really not workable.
  14. now thats a bite! Have a pound.
  15. never out the floor looks terrible. Elbow out of the wall behind.
  16. the fact it annoys you so much will make me use it more.
  17. there is a nice in the market here I think, builds requiring effectively combi like performance (or dual combi's for larger houses) out of a heat pump system. Designing the multitude of tanks, pumps, controllers to make a workable system for a family. Rather than a single tank pensioner setup.
  18. fake news. it was tiddles and we all know it.
  19. yep all them there EU rules we must take as gospel and preach them to save ourselves!! A few of your sanctified EU rulez Bendy bananas - banned. Bottled water being marked as 'prevents dehydration' - banned Tampon tax - Enforced Accidently catch the wrong fish, must throw it away - Enforced selling food by the pound - banned Tax fiddling by unelected Eurocrats - Compulsory and you remainiacs wonder why the country applied its collective common sense and booted the whole lot into touch.
  20. you cant really treat UFH like a rad, trying to tweak the temps throughout the day. It wont work, it heats up the screed which takes time. If you have no immersion, then the heat pump can either heat up the UFH or your hot water not both at the same time. Dont worry about blending valves they are not fitted on new ones they can program the heat pump/cylinder to send the correct temp to the UFH without it. As you have found out while being efficient they are crap in comparison to a combi. limited hot water, cant have heat/hot water whn you want it etc.
  21. weren't they the ones how prevented a foreign rapist being deported as he had a pet cat.
  22. The EU knew from the outset we will be a full independentpedant sovereign nation. So any talk of any laws or courts to enforcing them sitting above ours is a non starter. It's not rocket science but as most of them in charge are either commies or ex commies they dont get it.
  23. thats wrong. A tankless combi ran o0ur first builds UFH for many years no problem.
  24. no. The EU have treated us with contempt from day1 and we all know it.
  25. certainly isnt brick bonded into the wall, something like the fix below should have been used. https://www.screwfix.com/p/sabrefix-wall-starter-kit-stainless-steel/56037 There also isn't evidence of a DPC so likely to be a DIY job, the footings were crap and its dropped. Worst case you pull it down, would it effect the value ?
