Hi and welcome from the Ards. There's a fair few of us on here, where are you precisely?
-
sunamp's a bit pricey, no? And in the context of this thread I can't see how a buffer tank would help with improving pressure and flow at the taps.
-
copper TS ftw then.
-
could you not get @SteamyTea to do it cheaper?

that slate looks nice but what would it be like if you brushed up against it? -
Dunno about your cost differences between block and timber, for my 280m2 design a cheapo "developer spec" erected frame kit w/ trusses and first floor deck would've been £28k total.

Have a look at Turco/ Eurocal boilers too, good efficiency/ easy to service/ not too spendy.
-
did I read about an after-the fact indemnity service somewhere? here- https://professionalconsultantscertificate.com/

I was wondering more about over studwork, Nick.

So this pink stuff for PB; how thick a bead does it end up at when set- does it squish down flush or does the board sit on a raised bead?
-
Garage should be on an RCD already, no?
-
you can fit it either gappy or seamless depending on skill, it seems. Some installers can lose the horizontal joints better than others.
-
google Z-stone or Z-clad. You might however find there is one local distributor and many resellers...

So we've now got a field of mostly yellow dying grass. Good. Brought Sandy down today and we put posts out to get a look at the footprint. Until now she's been saying "are you sure there's enough room for a bit of a garden?" (site being trianglular is hard to visualise); today... "the garden looks mahoosive, is that all the size the house is?" Yes, I think it'll all work out nicely.

TR Fasteners Mallusk, Swift Screws in Belfast, or call in with Graham in Powertran in Ards and he'll get you anything you need.

no, for my spec (open panel, .15 walls, .11 ceiling, with AT kit) of all those that complied directly MBC was dearest by a sizeable chunk, like 20-30%
-
from my research, there are plenty of the NI based companies that are installing frame kits into the mainland UK here's a few to try, I've had discussions with most of them re. our project and their open panel kits were ALL cheaper than MBC like-for-like. Kilbroney Leadon Kudos McCavana QTF Unique TTFC They've all got slightly different offerings, from bare installed frame kits, through felting and battening/ supply of insulation/airtightness/PB/ windows/ MVHR, and or fitting of all the above too. None however offer a direct slab or passive slab option.
-
/other timber frame companies are available, also.
-
That Bio Pure is a bit pricey no?
-
plastic options too- https://www.tradelineupvc.co.uk/index.php?Page=product&ProductID=1124 dryfix has them all clamped down w/ plates and screws/
-
/allegedly.
-
aye true that. Hopefully it had long enough to soak in first.

been around for a long time, used to be known as Airflow Developments and were the go-to people for anemometers for accurate reading in lab fume cupboards etc. -
Forgoing the cocktails for today, I took advantage of a dry day to liberally douse all 0.58a with glyphosate. Checked the mains pressure while I was down too, looks like just over 3 bar and filling the sprayer pretty darned quick. Received a sample rooftile that interested me from Sandtoft yesterday. We've looked at Tapco, Iko, Cambrian, but this Britlock tile really impresses. Much more rigid than the Tapco/Iko offerings, and looks like it goes on more conveniently than Cambrian- less fiddly clips needed. Looks very "real" too, Sandy immediately showed her preference for it.
