Thanks Alan, didn't realise that existed! Ill ring their technical team & post there as well..... the issue is indeed the fact you can't have the same room on two different profiles, even if they don't overlap!

Love the heatmiser app and it's capability, but it is driving me mad with nit saving the profiles. We have about 15 zones throughout the house and generally control them via a few grouped profiles. So bedrooms all controlled together, kitchen/living space controlled together, bathrooms all controlled together... We're doing this as we settle into the new house and learn the heating needs of it. However, for some stupid reasons when I create the various control profiles, it doesn't 'save' the rooms ticked. So I'll set the time, temp and rooms... Save it. Then when I go back into it, it has 'unticked' my saved rooms. Has anyone ever come across this before? I THINK it is when I have two profiles controlling the same room at over lapping times. Ie.. We have a large Corridor which I would like heated during both the morning profile and the evening profile, so it is selected in both profiles. When I create the second profile with it, and tick the corridor, and save it... It deletes the corridor from my morning profile. But gives no warning or reason for doing this???

Feel your pain! If people just did the job they're being paid for properly, and during the timing they confirmed... Everything would be 10x easier for 'us'. But that would require just a little bit of effort and care on their part... Which never happens because they don't care nor can be bother for the effort. It's a shitty industry.

Have you ever experienced internal damp? any evidence of it anywhere? If the answer to both is 'no' (especially over such a long time period) then top up and move on!

If your on mains gas, and a house like that... Stick with gas!! If there is no insulation underneath it then anything you do is just tickling the symptoms. Put a thick rug over the cold floor and leave it until a refurb enables you to insulate the the floor and do it properly. The £3-8k you could spend on the ashp would be better spent doing this! We've got an ashp in a modern build, and I'm happy enough with it... But I would never recommend an ASHP for anyone unless a full refurbish or new build is on the cards.

Buy and knock down is an easier route, pay a bit more but likely less issues with planning, services and timing. Virgin plots will be fought over.

And in FURTHER parallel to what Alan said.... Each week move your bin further down the path! If you can't beat them on the beaches or beat them in the trenches... Go for the morale low ground, petty and pathetic... And bask in the smugness of him moving the bin back Every. Single. Week.

Definitely appeal, using your guy to lead it on the appropriate clauses. Please keep us update! Awkward neighbours are hard work.... Been there before!

Interesting, thanks for that. We have a lot of glazing all over the place, which we've never had before so taking some getting used to.

For what it's worth OP, I'm dealing with this myself! The house retains heat well, but exactly as you say... 20 degrees feels more like 17 degrees!

Better views on the thicknesses if things....

Yeah, overall I am. Fitters were ok, but a couple of gaps in the draft seal I'm not happy with, and I can't get the fitters back out 5 months later which is disappointing on a premium door. I'll stick my own seal in to resolve though. They are impressive doors, narrow, large and overall pretty slick. We have 8m x 2.5m high with a floating corner enabling the corner to be pulled back fully. Upgraded 2G glass as well. Around £13/14k incl fitment about 9 months ago ( ordered towards end of peak energy prices which hurt us), I do feel we over paid. We never shopped around enough due to the rest of the build, which I wish we did. So overall a mixed bag mainly due to fitters, doors are a real wow factor though.

Sorry, I missed first fix shell.... My bad! I'd estimate the £2500+VAT for finished 'basic' spec Yes, £2000 psqm plus VAT (ish) for 1st fix shell doesn't feel unreasonable. So much can be local market dependant though. Online estimators are worth a punt as a cheap QS alternative.

Combi for primary usage, electric shower for secondary?

Have you got a loft space you could use?

Have you FORMALLY asked NHBC? If not... Would be a shame if one corner was to suddenly get damp in the inside which could be connected to it? Which would(?) trigger their investigation into the subfloor. Just hide the watering can... (Probably £1000 excess, so research that first)

We have Smart Alitherm 600.... they're ....fine? We had a very bad fitter which we are still resolving but overall not much to really like or dislike with them. They just do the job. Builder spec'd them after we struggled massively to get people to quote, approached 7 companies...3 came back to us...Ali therm600 cheapest but more importantly could achieve our timings. I wish we had started the process earlier as we were railroaded into them due to timings & availability. They also (expletive deleted)ed the survey up which we missed, so we have mullions in places we didn't want them - you get used to it though. Just be careful you get the U Value of frame & glass...I was delighted how low the U value was until very late in the process when I realised the bastards weren't including the frame. This uplifted them all to an average of 1.4 which I was disappointed with, but it was too late.

£2500 plus VAT would be closer IMO.

Good work! All the best with your family.

What sort of material is it? Any pics... I'm curious as not come across such a deep worktop before!

75mm is collosal, the cabinets will also need some real attention for their ability to support it!

Just bumping this, we have been fine last few weeks with a 65% humidity and system working fine.... however the last few days it is stubbornly staying at full boost due to humidity. We did have a lot of rain & wind last night, I think blowing in the direction of the vents. When I check the filter, the inlet does seem mildly damp....could this be triggering the boost?? Is it just a matter of waiting for it to dry out & return to normal?

Thanks John, sounds like I'm on the start of the journey you were on. Suffice to say it's dawned on me hard how wrong a situation we are in. If I was to remove the actuators, does that open the zones fully? So if I kept one on thermostat live, controlling one zone... Then deleted all thermostats off our mobile app, then used that one thermostat to set a temperature profile. Would that basically enable control of the whole house against that one thermostat? Once trailed, I could look to disconnect and start dismantling the system. Leaving one thermostat per manifold (we have 1 x manifold for kitchen lounge half of the bungalow, then 1 x manifold for bedroom half of the bungalow).

We completed a bungalow with internal bricks walls throughout, meaning our UFH throughout was zoned 1 per room. Some zones are pretty big & consists of 2 loops or 3 loops per room/zone, but the bedrooms (5 of them), study, play room etc are all one loop/zone per room. What I am realising now, is that we are overly constrained from a zone point of view (wish I had realised this back in the day....). One option is to wire everything back at the wiring centre to run off a single thermostat..... so one 'thermostat' effectively actuates all zones but before I call out an electrician I wanted to check if there were any other options/suggest on how to improve the situation? (as I have a lot of thermostats that become redundant with the rewiring it idea.) Does heatmiser offer anything like this, other then the profile options? Any other ways to 'cheat' and get more zones together other then call back an electrician to rewire it up?
