  2. Pad foundation under a corner with a door opening to one side. I would want to have my method checked before commencing. How big does the structural engineer say the pad has to be?
  3. Your quite right! I only wanted to know overall what was required during the winter.
  4. or a £26 meter in series...
  5. So that's just half a swivle clamp? No ....ing idea! I'm too stupid. Unless it's has a different purpose and a bolt head fits inside and the thread out, and good luck with that!
  6. I paid £85 delivered.
  7. The mathematics on this one is important. How much pipe surface is required to change the temprature of the air entering the pipe to exiting the pipe to signifcantly effect the building. It's a bit like a GSHP in that way. I think it's quite a length of pipe!
  8. Of course using he ASHP for cooling requires a lot less energy than heating because: Heating: Outside air temp 0 degrees Inside required temp 23 degrees Difference 23 degrees Cooling Outside temp 33 degrees Inside required temp 21 degrees Difference 12 degrees
  9. Twas SteamyTea that said it. FESTINA LENTE NOBLE SIR!
  10. Yeah. Big fish small pond.
  11. You could try asking the tile suppliers and or the manufacturers for guidance.
  12. Or future wheelchair occupiers...
  13. Building regulations K2 page 33 on...
  14. I thought the distance was anything above 300mm drop required a safety rail?
  15. Cavity timber frame with external brickwork/ block work?
  16. +1 I have car insurance, house insurance and life insurance. At £5k a month care costs preparing for a possible future is a no-brainer. I have worked for to many clients who have had to leave their home because they can't climb steps or get to the bathroom. Also as so many people seem to eventually face these challanges I think having a suitable property to meet long term needs is a good selling point.
  17. I understood the thickness should be one thirtieth of the longest dimension so I would go for 150mm thick.
  18. Is it the render edge that is straight or the door frame? Is the door vertical in the frame? Don't think the foam would have bent the frame, however may be the frame was not fixed solidly enough at the top hinge position and bowed with the weight of the door. Spirit level time....
  19. Sorry - pass.
  20. Think a 215mm block might work better with the DPC DPM block and junction. Good luck M
  21. I like the cement board to hang down about 20mm below the bottom of the soleplate to create a drip.
  22. I had to have a minimum 25mm PIR over the inside face of the joists to keep BC happy. So ended with a whole 25mm layer of PIR after the studs and the VCL but before the plasterboard. Good luck M
  23. In my humble opinion your information suggests that the tile is reacting from the back of the tile not being sealed. It could be that this is moisture from the adhesive trying to get out and it may eventually sort itself out. Tiles stuck on, grouted and sealed in swift time could be a reason espically with a natural product. M
  24. This tells you... page 8... https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=https://www.northernpowergrid.com/asset/0/document/539.pdf&ved=2ahUKEwjx26OuoOvyAhWEYMAKHW96AAIQFnoECAQQBg&usg=AOvVaw2EkMbR8q2Xuw8hU0smL_gT
