    how high are the fans turned up?
  2. dpmiller
    DON'T use a scraper. Stainless is generally a very soft steel...
  3. dpmiller
    and is this an accessible threshold?

    in-roof, complete with kit? http://www.pluginsolar.co.uk/?COLLCC=3715461417&product=plug-in-solar-4kw-4000w-new-build-in-roof-bipv-solar-power-kit-for-part-l-building-regulations

    Has anyone any experience of XPS Plus? I was in contact with Polarwall to get delivery costings and the chap mentioned a new option, XPS Pus. It's got a Lambda of 0.027 and is only a few quid more per cubic metre (£144 vs £120). Guessing it's this kinda stuff? https://www.jackon-insulation.com/en/jackodur/products/jackodur-thermal-insulation/jackodur-plus-300-gefiniert-gl/

    I've some experience of Haier as they move into commercial and lab refrigeration and thus far it aint bad...

    it's not the most economical to run I've seen.

    how much height do you need/ what kind of screed depth are you at?

    why get a plumber to do the guttering and flashing? How are they welding the copper pipes?
  11. dpmiller
    150 PIR would be equivalent, no?

    Local HETAS installer/dealer flat-out refused to talk to me about anything less than a Dibt-approved unit if MVHR was involved.
  13. dpmiller
    Oooh that is pretty.

    I'd opine that it depends on the size of the development. Locally, most recent builds in the 2-20 property region are TF; bigger estates seem more likely to be block.
  15. dpmiller
    Oddly enough, NONE of the TF companies I approached were willing to offer an inclusive package inc. internal woodwork etc. Some would agree to offer options on external openings, PB, insulation packages and a couple would be happy to contract any and all porrtions of the complete build, but all started with an erected frame of varying spec.

    there's a BIG difference between getting some blokey with a Jekub to price digging some trenches, and what might end up needing to be done. And yes, ther's no reason why a TF base need be any more complex than block; you need block up to FFL anyway.

    Isn't that just a fancy name for a coolbox pack?
  18. dpmiller
    Looks rather like UFH perimeter insulation...

    Did Gill visit any time diring setting the drains? Might be handier just asking him what he wants to see...

    Based on the amount of time each machine would be used for, I wonder whether a reasonable (3t?) digger with pallet forks might be the job for us.
  21. dpmiller
    I seem to see them more in developments than single builds, along with McCavana and Unique. I don't think any are "worse" than any one else but the devil is very much in the detail. Do try Leadon for a price- don't be put off by the out-of-date website, they're a very progressive company with a very cost-effective closed-panel 0.15 wall. Kieran is a true gent to deal with. He's certainly our choice for when the time comes...

    Batten out for a service void- what depth are the downlights?
  23. dpmiller
    I use http://selectspecs.com/ They're a B&M opticians but their lab is in the far East I believe. For a tenner a pair, try ordering a pair with an ADD about 1D less (say, half the figure) than your normal reading one.
  24. dpmiller
    Also worth looking this side of the Irish Sea- Leadon, Kilbroney, Kudos, QTF etc
