Thank you, it looks like you posted the same twice haha Im getting nervous as i watched a presentation on it yesterday with the same construction as mine and they said the timber frame will move as it dries out etc so they are needed. However they didn't really go into where, and it just seemed like a selling their render product presentation in the end. I have asked K rend to email me some tech info which they haven't done.

Will it be the same for on a TF then ? it will be on the drawings when then are done ?

Afternoon, Im trying to work out if and where i will need movement joints in my render, i have tried talking to K render and they wasn't much help tbh. The CGI of the house is attached, it will be K render thin coat render system on a render carrier board on the timber frame. Has anyone any ideas if and where i should put some ? thanks

Thank you, i was getting confused. i guess that they will have to put their prices up now to pay for this be rebrand ?

Morning, im having a look at different insulation and u-values. I have been trying to get to the Quinn Therm site and keep landing on a Mannok website, has Quinn therm gone ?

Morning, i have had a quote from them too and i am planning to use them and give them the order soon.

I wouldn’t know if that will work, all I can say is, that on all the engineers details that I have seen it’s always bolted to the beam, someone may be able to confirm.

The UB may be best as it will be easier to bolt a wall plate on top of it.

Thanks. Yes it is easy to use and anyone can download the trial version which is for 2 weeks. it’s a rendering program and you need another program to make the model such as sketchup

Thank you ?. The image is just a jpg. I’ll have to check on the animation output but I would think it will run ok.

Be mindful that there are strict rules when it comes to the existing structure under Class Q ( i.e. . it has to be capable of conversion ) so be guided by your design team not the builder.

Hi all, I have now secured my amended PP and I been having fun preparing some colour 3D visuals for my house, I'm pleased with how they come out, what do you think ? J

That sounds like a plan ?

That sounds like a poor place to put them to me, like you say it’s difficult to insulate around them so you will have a cold bridge there. And then what if you get a leak or they burst?

Unfortunately this kind of thing happens too often and its unacceptable, but realistically there nowt you can do about it and simply have to do as they ask and it things moving. ?

Hi. Bear in mind that If you are semi detached and coming out 3.5m from the back of the house it won’t be PD anymore. J

Option A

Is that correct that the grid is start up the pay back scheme again for what i give back to the grid ?

i have never heard of that ill take a look ta

wow so they would just cover the kettle then when i put that on ? looks like i wont have to worry about wasting any then. ! cheers J

Thank you, no, at the moment I'm planning on a little gas combi boiler, i wont get through a lot of hot water, but i have just decided to look into the possibility of an ASHP, in which case there would be a tank.

Yes, but not on a loft conversion.

To sit here with a couple of computers on and the kettle boiling often ! occasional washing machine and dish washer etc. I am planning on having a MVHR system installed.

Cheers, so it sounds like it wont have any left over then. im not having an immersion heater, but thats good advice to plan on when to use the big appliances ta.

I dont believe that there is a minimum height under the Building regs over than 1.9m over the stairs and the landing
