Post and beam

I have a phone number 01491 313191 for the sales department. I also have a mobile number from my invoice but i wont put that up here. Message me if you think this will help. I have to say that the price model they were using, considering they are a new subsidiary of CVC , is a mystery. Perhaps they decided it was not correct.

I'll check what my invoice says when i get home later. But as the others have said, it did a week ago.

'Check out Air-Haus.com for the price on a Brink 450 for comparison.' Totally agree, i just took delivery from these guys a week ago. Excellent price.

🙈

Its doesn't remotely look like it could become a bungalow.

I agree actually when you are dealing with equipment at that level. But a cheap retail humidity sensor is not in the 'calibrated device' arena. Lesson learned for me.

No. I bought it brand new a couple of weeks ago for this task alone. Its from Pro Tiler tools. Calibration should not be necessary on a new unit. I'm glad i looked to an alternative device for comparison.

Update. I got my Tiler to bring a pair of his moisture test box's. The procedure for these is exactly the same as mine. Fix to the floor for 24 hours and then 'sniff' the RHI%. No fault with the technique then. Both of these professional level probe style test box's read within 2% of each other but significantly they were at least 20 points lower than mine at 53%!! My tester is unduly pessimistic compared to the others.

It is i agree. But, hope of reliable use during ownership, and resale potential are my mitigation.

Shutters outside? Or the fancy french name for same

My thoughts exactly. I want to be able to pop out when i have time or the inclination. Or i think i have understood the wifes instructions. Hiring in is not for me for this reason.

Thanks for all the great advice guys. As to the sweet spot, if i were to go for a 2 tonne Kubota of some description then i am thinking of about £12-14k. The idea( hope) being that the hours would be low enough that big expensive repairs would be unlikely and re sale would off set the higher purchase price. Thats what i mean by sweet spot. Organized is not how i imagine this to go, hence the longer ownership period rather than a well planned shorter hire.

Of course i have read the checklist, and would certainly read it many more times if i ever pull the trigger and buy a used digger, current experience level is zero. I imagine that there is a sweet spot of cash against age/hours. Use would largely be for moving soil around to sculpt the land around the house, provide a driveway etc. Perhaps foundations of a double garage that we have permisssion for. perhaps about the 2 tonne size. I have read that th slightly larger machines are actually easier to use. My intention would be to use it for a year or two and then move it on as a going concern for the next user. Anyone got a realistic idea of where this lies please.

My unit is in English as well, i powered it up this morning. The Ventilationland Dutch language restriction is now a redundant and moot point.

The explanation i got from Air haus as to how they can be so much cheaper than CVC, (their parent company dont forget) is that they are box shifting rather than design & advice. However they did then say that if i needed any help with design to just call them! The difference between the 2 is enormous. 2 days from order to delivery is brilliant. So glad i picked up on these guys from this forum, and on a side story as well about grilles not even the main units.

Oh i am sure there will be. Got to get the thing up through the loft hatch first. But its 800 degrees in the loft today.

MVHR unit arrived today, 2 days after order confirmed, excellent. Now the fun begins.

you surprise me, surely not.

For the size of tiles i have to lay the quotes come out at about £64 per tile. That is an absolute piss take. In Sheffield , no offence, that must seem even more than down here in the Affluent home counties. I feel for you.

Ordered a unit from Air Haus this morning. Cannot see the need for separate attenuators when using the Ubbink distribution box's but was strongly advised to do so. So have ordered these as well.

👍

Yep, i'd buy at that price from Air-Haus.

I get it but the CVC price is more than £1k more. Thats difficult to ignore

Hi @Nickfromwales, i have phoned and e mailed Air-Haus on friday. No response yet. I realised they are CVC which is really odd because the price differential between them is enormous. I would order from Air-Haus immediatley if they respond to me and confirm a few things.

Hi All My chosen unit that i am now ready to place an order for is the Brink Flair 400. I intended to order it from Ventilation land but have only just read this line in their decription 'is a Dutch device and can therefore only be set in Dutch.' Does anyone know how to overcome this language restriction please. For context i asked CVC systems for a price which came out at £1000 more. Thats a lot just to get an english display and i am sure there is a setting or dip switch to make it useful. Even the durch dont speak dutch after all!
