Nice part of the country, sir.

Hiya, whereabouts are you?

the chap that did ours was a wee bit more including the BReg drawings.

what's their ballpark cost for a house design?

the "middle bit" at the back of the pump is the inlet.

Is that maybe a back inlet gully with the grating removed? In which case it *should* be trapped, as long as the rodding insert hasn't been removed from it...

static vans are often by the sea tho, so salty air. Is the OP on the coast or inland?

we were in the same boat, mobilising someone else to do the contestable would likely have been more than the cost of their actual works.

Eeek!!! Are those uninsulated terminals facing upwards?

DECT cordless and a repeater?

sure about that?

who is the "them"?

Sounds like it's a split system?

Are there not flexi-hoses connecting the outside unit to it's pipes?

Depends on the duct lengths. Fans tend to make positive pressure more easily than vacuum, so restriction is seen more on the extract side.

ABC cable Dave I think, Aerial Bundled Cable.

Never heard of Johnstone's @nod ? https://www.johnstonestrade.com/specifiers/render

Do you really need 32mm the whole way into the house? We've a ridiculous length of 32mm from the road tapping down to the site, but I added another toby at the side of the house (so no need to drive up the lane) and came out of it at 25mm for the short run into the utility.

Our installer works with Spectus https://www.spectus.co.uk/trade/products/elite-70/ and was happy to produce oversized openers just by adding a rider to the warranty.

Conforms *without* any acoustic roll?

and if that total is less than 4 you probably have enough sockets on the router's own internal switch.

...and how to failsafe it?

got a TB125 myself and paired it with a 2.5t Thwaites 4x4, air cooled Lister twin. Anything smaller looked pointless and a bit "tippy" to me...

^which is unnecessary for a heat pump as the condensate is from the air, not flue gas.

our guys used a foam strip with a selfadhesive base, and that was set to *just* be submerged under the flowscreed.
