Hi, planning first fix for a new build and wondered how do we get Sky in all of the bedrooms but just pay for one subscription box? What cables do I need to get for the electrician to fit? Also be grateful to hear of any other modern day devices/gadgets that people tend to run cables for in...

You sound a really nice bloke. I've come to this forum for advice not rude comments. Like I already said above, heat it are £99 each which is twice the costs of Neo. That gives an indication of my budget. To the others, thanks for your comments. Heatmiser Neo seems to have everything we are...

I've checked vesternet, the most stylish stats they sell are heat it but they're £99 each. How much are the genius home stats?

I'm reall surprised how little knowledge UFH suppliers have about stats! We've had 5 quotes and they've ALL quoted including the Heatmiser Neo stats. When I've asked for otherness options they said I would have to purchase my own... We've already got CCTV on a seperate app so really don't want...

Can someone please recommend some digital UFH thermostats that can be operated from smart phone (preferably z-wave compatible). So far the most cost effective system I've found are the Heatmiser Neostats, but they have their own hub. Any other suggestions? Can be hardwired. Thanks

How do we get sky in all of the bedrooms (but without paying for lots of boxes!)? Think we are going with a z-wave lighting kit later down the line just for fun really!

Iggifer some of that has gone completely over my head! It's a big house, 5 bed 3 floors. I agree I think definitely double up on sockets. Are those sensor lights worth having or just a novelty? Can We put speakers into the lounge, dining room & kitchen & connect all to one sound system?

Currently planning first fix in new build. Can any electricians or self-builders give me some tips or recommendations so I don’t forget anything to put on the plan for when we obtain quotes! We’re after all the latest gadgets/mod cons (whatever they are!). Trying to think outside the box...

What ducting/pipework do I need to lay in the 100mm concrete slab to get electric, gas & water to a kitchen island in the future? Thanks

Can someone please explain how the perimeter upstand should be fitted: If insulation over slab scenario, do you put the upstand on top of the insulation at the same depth as the screed (e.g a 50mm upstand x 20mm thick) OR Upstand creates a border that the rest of the insulation sits within...

Perhaps it's not then. It was suggested by a man UFH supplier when I sent the house plans so I was just exploring the option as spend a lot of time in the garage. Think going to leave it after all though! Is it worth putting any insulation under the concrete slab in garage? Will there be any...

Since found out screed is not suitable for garages. One supplier has suggested installing the UFH within the concrete slab in garage. This means warm area to work in for workshop & if ever did convert no additional flooring or plumbing works required. Anyone heard of this? Garage floor will...

Building extension with attached garage, understand it must have a min 100mm step down. Is it possible to install water underfloor heating? If so, with what finish? Presume standard liquid/sand & cement screed won't be sufficient to take the loads of a vehicle. Or lay the pipes in the...

Posted in Flooring but no reply, really hope someone can help. When calculating finished floor level, what depth do you allow for the top covering (laminate/tiles?) Just trying to plan ahead before pour slab. 1. What is the industry standard 'average' flooring depth allowed for when marking...

It's an extension. Building Control have specified 40mm insulation with 12.5mm plasterboard. But I wondered if Soundbloc is 'better' to use?

Should have said, floor will be made up of concrete slab, 100mm celotex, vapour barrier, UFH, 50mm liquid screed. Trying to determine how much depth to leave after screed for floor finish to make sure there's no threshold at the doors

What have you guys found best for stud walls: Ply & acoustic insulation & plasterboard? Ply & soundbloc/soundshield boards? Is there much price difference? Thank you

Hi, just trying to plan ahead before pour slab. Could someone please help with the following: 1. What is the 'average' flooring depth allowed for when marking final floor level? We don't want any steps out of the bi-fold doors/utility door but have not chosen flooring yet. Kitchen likely to be...

Just about to begin groundworks. Apart from Underfloor heating pipes, is it common for any other services to be ran in the screed eg gas/water? Mainly thinking of how to get services to the kitchen island. Or is it better to run them outside incase of any leakages? Thanks in advance

It's sort of like this...but the house sign is slightly bigger and higher up. I'm looking for something that will light it up in the evening but not keen on those lights that people have hanging over the top. Is there anything on the market just like a fairy light size or a little bit bigger?
