I am thinking about cutting some DIY kitchen carcasses 3x500 and 2x1000 width and fitting some l 500 width doors 3 of which would need to be cut for ceiling. I am not a fan of sliding doors.

Anybody any good suppliers for something like this :-

We diy'd uginox stainless steel standing seam. Lot of work. My auld man done a two day training course at Bolton with metal solutions who we bought most of the tools from. Not sure if was financial worth it for one Build but were doing two self builds.

You could install a hybrid inverter and have the option of adding batteries later without the need to upgrade the inverter.

Hello strangers Starting to put things in place for build number 2. I hope not to make the same mistakes again! Looking for a engineer who has experience in insulated raft/ icf (basement and above ground) / steel framed roof/ lewis plate flooring and poured concrete staircases. It would make life much easier if they where based in Scotland and can sign of a SER certificate. Any recommendations welcome.

Is this supply all materiel aswell? Have you sat down and added up the materiel? It looks a pretty straightforward spec nothing to fancy. First thoughts it's a expensive but more experienced people will be along in a minute.

Little bit different (new build high insulation) We plumbed upstairs radiators with a ufh manifold so no trvs. We also run cable to each room for adding in a thermostat at a layer date but tbh the rads are never on.

@JohnMo what spec is your PV/battery ?

We had problems with one of our dewalt 1st fix (bought x2 and 1x 2nd fix) Should of sent it back it back but never did. When working was a good machine and handy with shared batteries. Was using the other one tonight for concrete shuttering.

@sharpener thank you for a prompt reply. 420m2 new build with good level air tightness and insulation (passive level but no accreditation). Mvhr, ASHP still to be connected up. Pv diverter. 8m2 solar thermal. 20kw log boiler. (heating system overkill) Probably end up with a electric van being eyeing up the vw id buzz. Current PV set up in roof approx 4.2kw with a 3.68kw inverter. Very basic sma inverter. Would like to at least double PV size with battery storage and be able to add more battery capacity at a later date. Would be adding different orientation of panels to existing so get a but more output in the evening. Was originally thinking of ditching inverter and using a hybrid inverter.

Thinking about upgrading the system (will be applying for g99). Just trying to get my head around the basics. Can the battery manufacturer be different from the inverter manufacturer (was aware of high/low voltage batteries and inverters) or best to keep the whole system from one manufacturer Ie solex.

When we installed a few years ago the dno went by inverter size and if we kept it below 3.68kw there was no problem with grid connection. We had a 3.68 with 4.4kw of panels done by a registered installer. I presume still the same now. I am planning on beefing up system

I think it's more to do with maxin out grid connection. Solax inverters max input is 150% of inverter size so technically you could have 5.5kw of panels on a 3.68kw connection. Tbh not much jump in inverter cost going up a size.

It's into a private soakaway so smells shouldn't be a problem

Just preparing for laying the patio and have came across that there's no P-trap or any trap in any of the rain down pipes. The down pipes right into the grid/hopper then into a elbow then away on a horizontal run (slight run). I always thought we needed a p-trap or bottle.
