whoever supplied you with the panels and inverters.

not far our from ours. We managed to save 50% of the inspection fees by having less of them. I think they allocate around 5 visits. we had 3 total. Foundations. Pre plaster Final. They were happy with lots of photo's of specific areas by email.

we ran all our towel rads (electric so they can be used independant of ASHP) of a single smart breaker in fusebox. Each has a TRV for user preference. Then Home Assistant controlls the whole lot, enables dumping of power into them based on the half hourly rate from octopus etc

make sure to try them wet, jewsons had one setup outside, it was like an ice rink wet. Wasnt cheap either.

expensive nightly rate and a silly cost analogy. a rock and bucket to do your washing would mean your washing machine would take 35 years to pay off.

whats the point of having cooling and heating rads ? Not like they are going to be used at same time ?

no need to cut anything if you use the correct terminal. the ones that fit the metal ducting were less than £3. We ran a batten noggin either side so the boarders had something to screw them too as if you did the job properly and filled the ceiling void with insulation it wants to push down on them so they need support to stop them popping out.

of course you can extend once PD kicks in. Clear justification is not 'just in case you extend' it must be overriding and proportionate.

put the linings in now and set trims where they need to go. be easier.

its poor substitute to rigid steel.

removal of PD rights is not looked on favourably by appeal inspectors. The National Planning Policy Framework (the NPPF), the granddaddy of planning policies, states that (paragraph 52): “…planning conditions should not be used to restrict national permitted development rights unless there is clear justification to do so.”
 The government’s national Planning Practice Guidance (the PPG) goes further, says that: “Conditions restricting the future use of permitted development rights or changes of use may not pass the test of reasonableness or necessity.”

our plant room was like a furnace until i lagged everything. press fit is ok where you have room for the big machine, our plumber did it old fashioned way.

Even the slowest plumber can plumb a hot water cylinder and heatpump in 3 days, ignoring everything else. Sparks has half day couple rotary isolaters and wire the immersion. It's a 3 way valve, supply and return not rocket science. 3 x 300 per day £900. For a priced job id expect day and half tops. Takes longer to insulate all the pipework than solder it together!

We have ours set very very simple. Dial in a temp you want and leave it on auto. in our case we chose 16C and if its above this it will cool if its below it will heat. DHW will override this depending on how you set it.

they come with metal plaster in terminals with a thread inside to screw the cap into and adjust flow etc. what have you got ?

me. its normal build, nothing special.

do they provide an indemnity policy for their design and product for the main build warranty provider ?

if the sewer isn't that busy when you lift the lid, id be tempted to just put a chamber in myself to divert it around the footings and then plead ignorance on the buildover application. Or just pay the 10k and get it done in the road ? All depends on your risk appetite.

you basically have the same setup we have. panasonic aquera Zehnder Q350 UFH loop fancoils ran off UFH loop. towel rads with electic element and smart breaker to control them all at same time. you could lose nearly all the kit under your stairs i would think. Pozi joists 305mm no smaller or you wont get the mvhr duct in, and dont do what I did and fit the pozi's thinking i could get the ducting in after, you cant! poke in the lengths of tube as you go and cut them to fit later. Also look at tile vents if you have accessible roof space for the mvhr intake/exhaust to save punching unsightly holes in the walls.

allways easier to use cavity closers built in ass you go. Tape the closer to the inside skin using the proper cloth airtightness tape.

we have a passive equivalent slab using block and beam. Marmox perimeter to eliminate any thermal bridging, 150mm PIR or if you have depth 300mmm XPS for same price.

first step, have you had a professional QS done so you know what your 'should' be paying ? If not get one donwe asap, couple hundred quid.

submit form 7 part 1, wait and receive the nil liability notice. submit form 6 commencement notice. when complete submit form 7 part2 done. our CIL was not interested in any of the low level minutia, its pureley a paperwork excersie. I'd do step2 before a single contractor stepped on site.

what happens if you just leave it alone.

# 1. yes 2. no 3. £1 to £10000000 who knows, pay the fee and get a price.
