either his accountant has uncovered it or hes had an HMRC audit. Guess it depends if you ever need him to come back and fix anything as to whether you pay him.

sounds too cheap.

its actually not too bad but needs planning before you put roof on ideally to make any openings work to the panels so it looks planned. Fitting is the easy part, screws and a flashing kit dead simple. Personally wouldn't use anything else but microinverters either for the small added cost.

or reduce the demand back to 80's levels and do none of that.

id want a minimum of 300mm eps or 150 celotex

hasnt been a true conservative government since 1990. Looking like Nigel Farage will be remedying that.

only the height of the panel changes, the trays are in 2 parts so you just increase/decrease the overlap to suit whatever size panel you have. GSE have an app on their website which plans the whole thing for you.

how will these new factories be built immediately ? Forterra are already on 12 weeks leadtime for bricks as a single large site order from the big outfits maxes out there capacity. Energy prices are too high for them to run the kilns non stop. All that will happen is price will double, like when the kingspan factory burnt down in germany couple years ago, insulation prices doubled overnight and didnt come back down. As for wages going up massive, inflation ? 9% mortgage rates again ? Almost as bad as Truss! As with everything socialist its all ok until they run out of other peoples money.

more socialist fantasy. There isn't the materials available in short a short time span, think what the prices would do if suddenly the entire output of insulation, brick, timber etc was ordered to build these millions of homes. Let alone finding qualified trades, building control etc etc As always with labour 6th form politics nonsense dreamed up by deadheads who have never had a real job. Will crash the whole lot as they always do.

it does run underneath on the panel below as the trays overlap but the first panel you need somewhere for the tiles to sit on hence the top flashing. You could i suppose do away with it and run lead but would still need a batten to kick up the tiles so would end up with a gap under the tiles.

dont put anything over that lead it looks great as it is.

pick any non standard construction and it will cost more. stick to tried and tested to keep costs down.

it negates the need for external paving to be 150mm below the outer DPC

from my talks with panasonic, the largest factor in causing short cycling was incorrectly sized heaty pump followed by zoning. Our was only turned on march, with flow temp set to 25 to give a too warm 21 inside (no loft insulation at time) it was getting COP of 8+ and never really turned off. We have a setback now so wil be interesting come November time to see how it performs now we are fully insulated and air tight.

ditto. have you had it down to clean as yet ? Ours is a few months old now so its on the list. The MVHR filters were really bad, lot of construction dust.

there is specific drainage detail below the cill that needs to be followed. The sides still need a tray in my opinion to be on safe side .

used one of these, handles 4 showers, dishawashers, washing machine, 5 toilet flushes and 6 handbasins at same time with no loss. tested it... https://www.anchorpumps.com/gws-challenger-300l-vertical-pressure-vessel

planners dont design SUDS so it begs the question who come up with your design and who put it to the planners.

cheapest kit to hire, GAP charged us £130 a week for a 1.5 tonner.

couple points, 1. Have you had the build checked against the original agreed QS by an independent qualified QS ? The normal way of things when making stage payments or drawdowns is the QS employed by the lender (you) visits site with the original QS in hand, looks to see what is completed or part completed and then pays out against this QS. There is also a contingency for the unexpected. Did any of this happen or you just paid the bills when the builder sent them ? 2. CIS/TAX. This is really irrelevant if you followed the normal way of working above. For example the brickie invoices the main contractor £10k. HMRC then tells the main contractor to either pay the £10k gross or stop 20% of it and send it them. Either way it doesn't change the QS figure.

dump them into the foul with suitable crateage as a buffer ? or no mains sewer either ?

this does seem at odds with the heat geek guys advice. Creating differential temperatures in the same slab equals losses so greater input is needed than otherwise would be the case. Can see if you are using different emitters, some UFH some rad etc fair enough. Bit like having 2 TRV's on 1 rad.

concrete it so the insualtion is supported. put some damp under the conc

are you suggesting land be stolen from its owners by the gov ? oh yes they did that already with the HS2 con.

easy appeal win though, at most SUDS is a planning condition that needs discharging.
