  1. Please could anyone clarify how i fill out the form for VAT431NB. I've got an excel sheet but as most of my receipts are for mixed goods what do i put down as the description of invoice item
  2. Thanks for that. So maybe it’s the mesh I need information about. Can you tell which mesh I need and how to fix it to the EPS please
  3. We have an MBC timber frame house with an insulated raft foundation. The house is cladd in larch but we need to finish the polystyrene base. We want to render it but how do we do this. Do we need mesh first or a special render that would stick and be flexible enough.
  4. My thoughts exactly. We have been back and forth trying to negotiate what we want and what they think we have should have. We have gone from underfloor heating up and down to just downstairs and a ASHP Varimax 20 down to a 12 Varimax. This is our first build and only on doing some research are we coming to our own conclusions, which we hope are right. And having forums like this to chat to other people who have enormous amounts of knowledge.
  5. Thanks everyone. Has anyone got any experience of Earth Save Products please
  6. Has anyone got any experience on esp products please
  7. Thanks for your help. We have been told there is a back up heating element to go into the MVHR to compensate for inadequate heat migration. Have you heard this before?
  8. Hi we need some urgent advice about heating our MBC new build house. Basically we are having the slab done at the beginning of Nov and we are getting conflicting advice as to whether we need heating upstairs. We are building a modest 180 sqm three bed house, triple glazed windows, air source heat pump, underfloor heating and a MVHR with solar pv's on the roof. We have been advised my MBC we won't require heating upstairs only electric heated towel rails but Earth Save Products have emailed saying the following. Any advice would be welcome. Will you be having any heating on the 1st floor? (e.g. Radiators). My reason for asking is that it will impact your RHI payments (reduce them). If nothing is going on the 1st floor, do you want the ASHP sized to cater for the heat loss from the Ground Floor only? If not, and you are relying upon heat migration to provide for the 1st floor, you will need to put all of the heating for the whole house in via the ground floor. This may make the Ground Floor too warm or the 1st floor may not get adequate heat migration to heat it. As you are also having an MVHR system, when it is cold outside, the incoming air will be lower temperature than the air leaving the house. This will cause a noticeable cooling of the 1st floor non-wet rooms and you may need supplementary heating.
