Post and beam

Mimo is the in the house network i think. Not the link to the outside world.

There is one tundish below my red pressure vessel. The water is not draining down through it. If there are others i do not know where they are. I have the same fear of a serious leak somewhere. But, as this has been happening for the 6 weeks we have occupied the house i would expect to see water damage by now if it were inside.

That isn't going to yield a result on a sunday morning. As it happens i cycled the power via the rotary switch outside. Good old 3 pin re set fixed it. I have a persistent pressure loss issue for which the installer has been engaged. I need to top up the pressure by half a bar every day, which immediatley brings the system back online. The installer is not very responsive. But this total loss of pressure overnight appears to have put the system into sulk mode.

I had a loss of pressure on my Vaillant 5kw heat pump. I have restored the pressure but my appbelieves there is still the 'low pressure' condition. Therefore it will not switch on. Is there a way to clear the alarm condition please. I have no heating currently.

I had to tell my local address authority that my house was now inhabited. Although i paid £95 about 18 months ago to register mine, and assumed that was all that was required. Lots of delivery companies had no idea the house existed, including Amazon. It turns out you also have to inform the authority that the house is now occupied. But nobody informs you of this up front. This kicks off the ' add it to your live database' signal.

One reason for the address still not appearing months after you have paid to have this done is because the local authority are waiting for you to tell them that a house now exists. I have just been through this nonsense with East Herts. sorted in 2 weeks once i spoke to them.

North Hertfordshire East Herts for planning

This summer we paid.... £11250 for electricity from UK power networks. maximum of 8 metres from other side of the lane to our green temporary cabinet. £6500 for water for a dig from the near side of the lane. probably 2-3 metres. No gas

No, it was the UFH installers. And it was done the 'proper' way as per Nicks description.

They did. A different company installed the heat pump, UVC and most associated pipework and wiring. There was a 3 month gap between the 2 installations. Unfortunately i fell out with the original installers over their attitude to an underestimate of the amount of screed required. They were due to do everything related to the heating install.

I meant furthest from the house of course.

Yes they would be steel. Perhaps i should have said 'woodscrews' not wood screws. Anyway, i have read up on this somewhat since yesterday. Not as rare or new idea as i thought. Now i need to decide whether this idea or old fashioned brick piers to support a deck is the best option. As i said, i need to bring the level up by almost a metre closest to the house.

I have started to get a load of facebook adverts for a type of decking solution that uses what look like 5 foot long wood screws driven into the soil in a square pattern arrangement. As i will need to build up the area behind our new build by as much as a metre to give us a level patio area i wonder if this might be a good solution. So, does anyone recognise what i mean and have you used it or considered this product?

If i knew where and how many i could do this. Do you mean the tundish?

This is the kicker, i have not been bleeding mine every time. It needs topping up , and much too frequently. Which led me to believe it was a leak. No signs of water leaking inside the house and i certainly hope there are no issues between the floors with all the joints. I would expect to see patches on the ceiling if this were the case. If it stops raining i might be able to monitor the unit outside for damp patches.
