Andehh

I've used the self adhesive plastic hooks/clips successfully. Ensure the surface is clean, and stick them below gutter for some protection from the elements.

Also very interested in this! For what it's worth, the Chinese generally make the best and cheapest batteries. They're several years ahead of the West, and even batteries made outside of China... Everything comes from them anyway.

Good luck mate, keep us updated! Well done for holding your ground.

We had 7 x electric roller blinds, incl 2 x 2.5m wide and 2.5m drop, for around £1800 fitted. Local family firm in the Midlands. Came back a few times to tweak and adjust to my OCD. About 2 years ago.

Will see how it is tomorrow, and give it a rub down to smooth it off. I think one side is a good few mm lower then the lip which I missed due to poor lighting. Only noticed it taking the damn photo, but 2 hours later I don't want to fiddle!

Thanks all, have finished the job. Forgot to pull in any mesh in, but for a small job I'll keep my fingers crossed. Not 100% happy with it, but it's one of those if I faff with it any more I risk making it worse... Only want it to last a year or so, as I'd like to tile the garage floor eventually... For now it's just trying to make it look tidy! We shall see.

Thanks! How do I achieve such a perfectly flat/smooth surface though? Or am I over thinking it? Do I need to do return after X hours etc for a final go over etc?

Yeah, that small semi circle area is sitting on insulation which the bastard screeders buried as they ran low in material. Builder missed it when he dig out and relaid the rest. I'll chisel it out and reconcrete, but want to achieve a very smooth flush surface!

Still like my idea of gallons and gallons of water proofing drowning the entire area, after a dry spell!! 😁

It was originally but builder dug it out, a miss communication with their team meant they didn't go far enough... So I need to just take out a bit extra. Rest has been down about 8 months without issue! You can see the sort of semi circle which is causing the problems!

Thanks all, sorry the water bit is just dripping from the car! Nod - are you able to link to the sort of thing you suggest? cheaper the better with it being such a small area!!!

When we had our garage floor done, the sub contracted bastards hid an insulation panel under the surface, likely as they ran out of material. Our builder came back 2 years later to rectify, and his team achieved a brilliant finish. The only issue is there is about 1sqft they missed, it's probably not worth me getting the builder out, so I'd like to cut this chunk out and reconcrete it myself. I've mixed plenty of concrete in my time, but achieving such a smooth finish I'm unsure of.... Pics attached, I filled a chunk with silicone just to stop water getting in. Other pic is what the builder achieved, and I painted over it. Any recommendations??

We had good renderers, but up or down lights are savage at showing up everything!!! Consider using then to light up plants or flower beds or the driveway instead IMO

Thanks John, with your estimations then, my system shouldn't be hitting 3 bar?

Unless you're going mad with insulation, I really don't think an ASHP makes sense in this sort of property. Why not replace gas, for gas?
