Don’t know any rule for this but I tend to find a picture or drawing that looks right and measure the proportions with a scale rule.

I’ve got less than 200mm cover albeit close to the house. I would be concerned by a concrete mixer, cars exert relatively low ground pressure, and that is distributed significantly even 200mm depth. Also more confident about PVC pipe which will flex, than a rigid pipe.

Also with EON, looks like that rate applies only on standard import tariffs, 6p/kWh if you are on their EV tariff?

Just show that on a drawing. I don’t know any specific requirements, maybe they vary between each LA. As long as they are not blocking any access or parking provisions, double they are interested in what they look like considering they keep giving us more of them.

Porcelain tiles? I considered polished concrete but couldn’t stomach the cost for something I thought less durable.

@craig, may know them

No personal experience of them but found their website https://hbdsystems.co.uk/hyline-sliding-doors/ Would be surprised if they manufacture themselves, maybe rebranding something from Eastern Europe?

Another vote for glue, two part epoxy and dowel (stainless or brass)

Doesn’t look right to me, I would expect to see at least 1m above the gutter level. This is what AI says https://share.google/aimode/7iJ9jUTYOfNaOr9Mf so, no it isn’t correct. Should have a HETAS installers certificate.

Welcome, can’t help you with ICF but I am sure someone will be along in due course. If you search the forum, there are many who have done it.

Nothing to do with building control, call your planning department and follow up by email for written confirmation

They will serve you a liability notice at some point but you can check on their website.

Doesn’t matter where you buy them from, more important is who fits them. It’s just a case of trawling the net to find the best price, delivered, which maybe a significant factor where you are! Might be worth ringing your builder merchants as well as their best prices won’t be on the web.

I think it’s a bit more predictable than gambling. TOU tariffs are based around market prices which are linked to supply and demand. We know there will be oversupply on windy nights and sunny days and, more predictably, large steam turbines which have to keep spinning all night.

In theory there was no need so I wasn’t going to put any heat emitters in the bedrooms but decided to err on the side of caution and had (not oversized) radiators installed. Wet towel rails in bathrooms as well. Partly it was to satisfy the installer’s MCS calculators, partly to avoid domestic complaints! Glad I did because we do feel the need during cold snaps.
