Ledger board and face fixed hangers to this?

He's been around for awhile now. Most of the stuff he finds is bad. There has been 1 or 2 things I've seen him put up seem petty.

Yeh ours is 5m x 5m at present but new house has been drawn 900mm off this. If i put a new roof on upto the house wall will be 6mx5m

Are normal cylinders a lot cheaper than heat pump ones? Are they "vented" or "unvented" or doesn't this change with direct heating? Can an immersion heater recharge the water temperature as quick as a heat pump? Why would heat pump cylinder stop you heating it in cheap period?

Do you have to have regs or a warrant for that? What's the total size 6m wide by how long? What size timbers did you use? Im thinking of extending a garage from 5m wide to 6m and it's a bit of a can of worms. Think I might need to involve an SE. while it will only be 30m2 or just under I think if it joins a house it has to have b.regs in England?

If his vents sit 25 or 30mm on top of fascia thats where you problem is. You could get him to cut a fillet 30mm to nothing over the length of a few tiles say 1m and fix to top of your fascia. Or you could have the over fascia vents extended along your fascia. Or neighbours fascia could be dropped the thickness of the vents but seems extreme.

Jesus 45 quid for a bit of plastic.

Care to enlighten us on the intermediate options?

I just meant supply and fit of the supply and returns not the ufh loop. I didnt realise a plan or drawing was needed to route these 2 pipes thinking you'd just take them straight to where they need to go but sounds like @Mulberry View has to run through the floor?

What do you mean route the supply and returns? As in physically put them in? Is it the same person doing heat loss and ufh layout?

What kind of fee do these heat loss consultants charge? Do they also do the ufh layout?

He doesn't want flat ceilings!

I'd of loved to have met the man. What a great experience!

Would you not prefer a 4" floor drain? I used one once fits straight inside 4"pipe. But yeh wouldn't need a vent.

I dont think anyone looking at a house in future would be put off with a2a. So should suit op?

It must be volume production economics. I remember people saying how simple mvhr units are inside.

What did you pay for your bare units? What do they rrp for?

How much is a mvhr unit alone to service 150m2 vs a boiler to do the same? What would a boiler be 1000 or less?

It does sound like a bells and whistles job. I dare say the house is worth over a million quid though pretty high spec. Mine will deffo be diy, last one was. I won't be having the plaster in vents.

I also want dry autumn. I want to get a backhoe in to clear our site after a planning decision. Scheduled October atm

Crazy my place will be half the size i wasn't hoping to spend near 5k on mvhr. How are these things dearer than boilers

I don't think they are I've built without them in past. Once i got asked to put them in because of potential methane.

I'd take it with a grain of salt. By all means do what you need to get the site sorted before it gets too bad but don't panic.

Why is all the soil pipework UG? Suppose it doesn't matter anyway

Braver man than me. Still if it's not given you any problems yet. That invisible one is shit.
