    Yep, Peter is right. Thats FAR from a bargain. Screwfix sell exactly the same thing badged Titan for £110.00 https://www.screwfix.com/p/titan-ttb674tas-254mm-table-saw-230-240v/9486J?kpid=9486J&ds_rl=1245250&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIicXa7Jft1gIV1woqCh2dRwISEAQYASABEgKGxvD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds&dclid=COT1rvGX7dYCFQZ6wQodswwAIw

    I've always understood it to be cills first. But, I cant really see any reason why they couldn't fitted afterwards as long as they are a good fit. Remember that the window company may be making the cills as per the width of the windows. However, once you've rendered your window reveals the measurement will be less.

    I agree with Nick that I just can't see how you'll make it work. How about: 20x25 bumpy white tiles. Looks clean, crisp and practical. Cheaper than your proposal too even with a tilers labour. Tile down to the bath. Hopefully the bath has adjustable feet. Fit it at the higher point of adjustment. Then if you need to remove it you can drop it down (away from the tiles) and slide it out. As long as it's not monkeid you won't damage your tiles. Chuck a few boxes of the same tile in the loft for If and when you remove the bath.

    Looking good! Mine is still plodding on, weather has meant that we're only averaging 2-3 days a week rendering Whats the plan with the facia and soffits?

    Ditto. Buy a V8* cordless for your house. You'll never look back. *Note previous versions had appalling battery life but they have solved the issue with the V8. Not for DIY. Everyone has a DIY hoover right?

    A +1 for the GET Ultimate range. That's what I put in the flat and they're thinner than standard and look smart. I think ive decided on Knightsbridge screwless in mat white. https://www.mlaccessories.co.uk/category/4706/matt-white Both of the above are available from TLC Direct and are not expensive.

    Ive always done the same when using a standard extract vent to the outside. This is my first time with MHRV so I'm doing that typical self build thing by reading everything and following the rules. Which then follows with worrying about every detail

    That makes sense. I'll find out what the max is on my Airflow Androit.

    No it's will be in a corner. Only one glass screen, the other side open to the room. So hopefully no issues with flow.

    +1 I've got the wickes one. Had it years and it's been well and truly abused wet and dry. Still going strong.

    Due to a "design issue" (AKA Cock Up!) I've ended up with a MHRV extract plenum in the shower area. From what I've read this is against best advise. Assume this is due to the levels of humidity in the ducting?? Is it an absolute "no" or in reality is it not too much of an issue. Moving it is not an option now but I could change the bathroom design but it would be a considerable compromise. TIA

    Without wanting to steel the OP's thread, I have a question: Do individual invoices need splitting out item by item? So for example if I have an invoice which has both timber and concrete blocks, is this two lines on the sheet?
  13. Barney12
    They look really smart. UK sourced or Germany?
  14. Barney12
    None whatsoever. Its just what I found in 12mm. I've since discovered that 12mm water pipes are common in caravans. JG seem to do a range.
  15. Barney12
    BES do a full range of 12mm copper pipe and fittings. But, your solution is ideal! Ta!!

    I'm just doing the final setup of my Airflow Androit MHRV unit and have discovered the condensation drain fittings requires "rust resistant 12mm OD pipework". BPC actually supplied some standard 21.5mm plastic drain fittings which are clearly not correct for the unit. Before I call them today I thought I'd just ask if I'm missing anything obvious? My plan is to connect the drain outlets from the MVRV and the heat battery to a HEPvO waterless trap and into the stack. I found this online: http://www.pipefittingsdirect.co.uk/contents/en-uk/d28.html which shows a nylon 12mm OD pipe suitable for compression and push fit. This with copper compression fittings?

    No all on outside walls.
  18. Barney12
    Understood. Alas due to the position in the rooms (room in roof so sloping walls) it can't be avoided. I'll just have to ensure I've got soft close toilet seats so I can flick them down to flush! Edit, the alternative is I go for a concealed cistern with a small push button and retain some form of access to the cistern for servicing.
  19. Barney12
    Thanks for all the replies guys. The fog has lifted
  20. Barney12
    OK, I'm clearly being a toilet Luddite! Or to be more precise I'm completely confused by the myriad of differing Geberit wall frames. Depending on the website you look at; differing names of cisterns, with flush plate or without, if with which one works with which cistern, 90/100mm adaptor included or not, wall fixings sometimes! Crikey my head hurts! Can anyone tell me what exactly I need for a concealed cistern (lower than 900mm) for a wall hung toilet. Flush plate in brushed chrome and ideally not one that is as expensive as the frame ??? Or point me at a guide. Edit: I need three of them. All will be attached to timber studwork. Thanks from Bogless Bob

    Stair Box are out of the running. They can't produce any wider than 995mm and my requirement is 1060mm.

    I personally dont think you can beat the Megaman GU10 LED's. As bright as normal halogens and dimmable. Certainly not the cheapest though. EDIT (Wrong item linked!) https://www.energybulbs.co.uk/megaman+7w+dimmable+gu10+led+-+warm+white/2177676229?gclid=EAIaIQobChMI0afD98PR1gIVBSNoCh2wfg2SEAYYAiABEgIg1PD_BwE

    Clipped to the side of the batten. As far back as achievable.

    We have exactly the same issue with our MBC ceilings. The insulation pumped in causes the airtight membrane to "pillow" to the point that the ceiling service void isn't much of a void! In the end I counterbattened certain ceiling areas to allow for cable runs.

    Two words; 1) Lovely 2) Huge!
