    completely unacceptable. Even the joke NHBC rules would preclude. assume you haven't paid ?
  2. Dave Jones
    is it a warm roof ? use tapered insulation ?

    Have a look at your lenders approved warranty provider list. bit late if you haven't got one in place as they need to inspect from the start.
  4. Dave Jones
    you will need a completion cert and warranty.

    get your gas and electric disconnected and KEEP THE METERS. When you get reconnected you will need them.
  11. Dave Jones
    no you dont need any of that crap for planning.

    shame about the join the bottom 2 steps.

    and larger, with ever increasing cavity sizes need leeway to get the building on the footing and square as digging is never an exact science.

    here is the problem with day rate and DIY'rs. No offence but as your clueless on how long anything takes on the building so you are very easy to be taken advantage off. 99.9% of all subbies will take you to the cleaners. They wont be getting repeat work from you so wont care. Get the whole job professionally QS'd (its dirt cheap) and pay in arrears to the the QS for work done. Make this clear from the get go to whoever you pay in the form of writing which they sign. So when you inevitably have issues its all in black and white.

    sorry its horrific.
  16. Dave Jones
    they dont do the warranty inspections though so you pay twice. on the plus side they really dont care and will pass anything.

    nothing at all to stop you. Just cough up the council tax.

    jewsons just put all underground drainage up 45%

    go on the 1 day edpm course and do it yourself.
  20. Dave Jones
    get a price.
  21. Dave Jones
    no good for a buyer to get a mortgage with. Same as an architects certificate.
  22. Dave Jones
    get a new SAP.
  23. Dave Jones
    burn it and get a composite.
  24. Dave Jones
    not necessarily, liquid metal batteries look very promising.

    vehicle to grid needs both your energy supplier and car to be V2G compliant. It looks like a really good way forward to time shift electricity demand to when its cheaper. With 100kwh+ batteries in cars they could run a house for long time if needed.
