hmo look out. the valuation office have started doing council tax bills per room for HMO's instead of 1 for the lot. Hello 8k pa council tax bill.

wood for the trees. new top survey 250 engaging solicitor to do anything 500

pir is expensive and a lot of work. Id the loft converted preventing use of loft roll ?

looks good. may be optical illusion but looks like the ridge row of tiles is slightly different gauge to the rest ?

heat capacity of various liquids Vs discosity calculation required

talk to an expert.

engage a planning consultant not an architect, they will frame the application (outline ?) with a view to appeal from the start. appeals are free.

so your new floor is 10cm lower than the old one ? They need to be linked really, you can allways use a paint on blackjack type dpm direct onto block or brick (not plaster) to link the two.

dont bother limestone its old hat these days, stains and goes green in no time. For the m2 prices you have you could get porcelain. much better product.

Western power dont give an option of single phase on any new builds. Not to say you cant have a single phase meter (wee did) after the 3 phase cable has been connected.

you are forgetting about the mass of benefit scroungers who get everything for free who labour/socialists love.

its not the fancoil its the heatless that needs working out first. may find just a slightly larger double rad is plenty. all guesswork followed by a thread in 6 months 'this heat pump costs a bomb' unless they are done properly.

like it, bet the planners will spill their vente oatmeel lattes when they see it though.

same trench side by side. dont worry there are no pipe separation measuring police.

put british gas cover on it, wait 8 weeks. claim.

intersting, whats the final m2 cost of the isoquick installed ?

wouldn't this just be showing where the dew point is ? different days cold/hot could give you opposite results ?

havent you got a plumber already ? Ours had never fitted a heat pump before but there is really nothing to it. A flow and return, a cylinder and sparkey runs 2 feeds to it. Hardest part was us setting up the programmer. Took him day and half to plumb it and 2 hours for sparky to wire it. All the parts are in the plumbers merchant.

Depending on your time of day useage you could be saving north of 40p kwh for on saving sessions. This is why vehicle 2 home with 70+KWH of storage at 11kW peak is very attractive option come the winter. Savings per month will be significant.

forget about the grant for self install. think of the grant as a TAX its adding cost to the install not making it cheaper.

why do you need I beams ? for a shed that size 4x2 for walls/floor and 6x2 for roof is perfectly fine. scarf a ridge board from 8x2 and you set. If your cladding with OSB double check the OSB is not in fact 6 x 4 so you dont set out 400 centres and find they dont land. save a fortune.

never ever pay any subcontractor a fee based on a percentage of your build. Total rip off, they are scamming you based on the postcode. Same plot in a London postcode gets them treble for same amount of work. They get away with rip off services because they can, similar to solicitors taking months to do a completion that could be organised in a day etc.

if you are wanting a lender to lend you the money be very careful with exotic non normal builds as they may not lend against them.

£4k installed with a tank is doable. https://www.theheatpumpwarehouse.co.uk/shop/heat-pumps/air-source-heat-pumps/7-kw-panasonic-aquarea-high-performance-mono‑bloc-j-generation-1-phase-r32-wh-mdc07j3e5/

how did the cooling work out ?
