Worried that bubble wrap might mark it. I have seen things covered in little dots that have been wrapped up in it before. Black shows every mark. I think I’ll keep looking for low tack film. Hoping someone can recommend which brand. Thanks for your reply.

I did wonder about something like this but had never heard of Magic Man 😳 Thanks for this.

Looking to protect a Norrsken aluclad door, unfortunately after the horse has bolted. Got scratched and scuffed by builders last week 🤬 Looking for reliable low tack film which won’t leave residue behind and can stay on for about 4 months. Have looked at door sleeves but they tend to be 1000 mm wide. I think they will be a tight fit for ours. TIA

Thanks to both for your replies.

Hi all The pipes for our ASHP are being fitted through an external rendered wall of our MBC timber frame. The external rendering is starting shortly but we haven’t had our airtightness test yet. We are hoping to get ASHP pipes in through the wall and fix grommets and tape in advance of rendering (after airtightness test) so that they a render around. There are so many different grommets and tape. We think we will go for Pro Clima but not sure which. Do we need different kind for external and internal? Thanks all.

I’ve read about temporary staircases on here before (Howdens for £100?) but no luck finding one for our build. Our local Howdens wouldn’t say how much for a basic staircase and weren’t interested in us signing up for an account. Nothing on eBay. We are not skilled enough to make one unfortunately!

Who said I wanted a black concrete tiles Nick? I’ve had samples of EVERY product. They are sitting outside my current house in a lovely coordinated heap and the black fascia still matches our windows. Weinerberger cover themselves on their website by saying batches may vary. Order dark grey tile with matching dry verge and you get plum tones with a non toning/matching verge and I have to put up with it. I’ll take Nick’s advice and stop staring at it. All good. Thanks Nick

Black is black therefore only matches our windows. Grey is not grey as far as the Weinerberger company go. Still don’t want a plum coloured roof. If I’m buying a dark grey tile that’s what I expect to get. Sorry if I’m being pedantic. It’s called attention to detail.

I really shouldn’t have moaned. Things just got worse. A right old mish mash of colours now. Hideous. This was not part of my vision. Any suggestions? I suggested roof tile paint to my husband. He was not happy.

It’s really bugging me. Doesn’t help that the houses near us have nice sharp looking dark grey tiles 🫤

Started roofing and I’m slightly disappointed that the appearance of our Danum TLE roof tiles looks almost plum coloured instead of dark grey. Will the colour change when it weathers in? Certainly doesn’t look dark grey to me 🫤

Our QS says he can’t find a supplier for cavity barriers for timber frame! 🤔🤦‍♀️

Apologies, forgot to post reply to this. Do we use the Rockwool type or the flexible pvc wrapped cavity barrier? Thank you
