Why have you discounted a standard cavity closer?

Patching plaster it's lean and weak to seal dust. Then slightly stronger and tacky before filling with plaster
-
Hope it's not the difference between Phillips and pozi. 90% of blokes I work with can't tell between

Something to keep in mind also @joe90 should have no trouble insuring or obtaining finance on build method he has described. Other methods may be considered non standard and cause a hiccup for lenders. Right or wrong that's the world we're in and warrants some thought depending on your intentions.

Sorry yes

Cmon Ferdinand if floor area was that crucial the big boys wouldn't be doing dot n dab! 50mm round a perimeter adds up but I doubt the internal area/value is going to stack up exactly like that. Especially with how the British buy. Bedrooms as opposed to floor space

Your near Midlands aren't you? EH Smith do 2 good ones. The black one is around 100 quid. Supposed to be non permable but I've noticed water pool on it. White one is better but closer to 200 quid. I've used both before Wait till you start talking to groundworks people. They reckon there's about 500 different specs.

To be fair I had blown in dritherm on last house I built. This was after bad experiences of brickies installing poorly. However I'm not sure how well the blown in job was. If going down glass fibre route you just need to make sure subbies are thorough. Eps beads are the way forward though as you say. Better flow and better performance
-
Out of interest is the timescale for payback no good on swapping full fill 37 with dritherm 32? What difference in u value would you get and how long would it take to pay back?

Seen it from a decent sized tf manufacturer here before. Probably not ideal.

Rain pooling on flat decking?

40:1 gradient in line with grooves. Go back and jack it up one end or firing strips -
Me and a friend have only passed a water supply connection first inspection 1/2 times each. Built over 20 houses between us. They put a new main in for him recently and they were at 600mm. They make it up as they go along

"Where did the money come from" answers

New regs. Got to show something like 3-6 months history. Money laundering regs -
Was thinking of buying a new fridge myself last weekend. As you say though it might save me a tenner a year but will be worth half what I paid in a year. Decided to stick with the oldun!

Who moans about energy being too cheap?! Seriously! It's like moaning petrol is too cheap. I'm not hating on your eco houses but i'm fine with cheap energy! Get down the pub and tell everyone its too cheap
-
looking good btw... Did you have oak linings as well? Were these fitted as part of second fix?
-
The doors will stick around at the kind of money, howdens do 3 varieties of that style in oak now (3 price points). By the time you 3 coat a standard door vs 1/2 coats of oil on these the price difference isn't so great, and you've got an oak door.

30-70 clean. Type 3 I think 200mm thick and leave around 100mm low not including surfacing. +75mm tarmac. Top the 100mm up with type 1 towards end of build.

keylite have that expanding foam collar as standard

Assessing the quality of a laid tile floor
Oz07 replied to Fallingditch's topic in Floor Tiles & Tiling
Fake news it's actually a great job. They're all having it done like that now! -
Jeremy you do seem to be an extraordinarily helpful bloke though and also passionate about low energy builds!
-
Shuttering trenches never seems to work very well. Depends how neat machine driver has been. 6mm ply is laughable but feel free to try use this then backfill. You will soon give up! iv found pallets either side wedged with everything pulled out good solution. Pull out props and pallets as Conc rises to be most effective cheap method as usually have loads of pallets. Ive filled lost corners with conc before but think textbook founds should have nice vertical sides so not ideal

The industry is booming. Perhaps in the dark years they'd of tried harder to win your business but their order book might be full regardless

Is there not done confusion here where you are just fixing horizontal battens to your frame and others are assuming you fixing 2 layers of battens?
