Thanks for the info, ill see what i can find for SR regs, quick google seems to pull up New Zeland and Austrailian reg though lol, ill keep digging. Floor was passed by building control etc, compacted blinding, taped joints in DPM, 100-150mm concrete. But i dont know if building control...

cheers for the response, we are using 100mm Xtratherm (similar to kingspan), its pretty rigid but will flex into a void if walked on. Probably going to go the self levelling route and grind down the build ups. Unfortunately the self levelling compound only covers 5m² @ 3mm, i need 3-20mm...

Hello We are in the process of replacing the ground floor. Having opted for concrete subfloor-> 100mm Insulation-> 50mm Anhydrate self levelling screed & UFH, we got appointed a builder to pour the subfloor. Im not 100% happy with it, overall level is about -15mm shy of where i wanted it...

Hello Just about to start fitting our insulation to the subfloor. We are going for RTU Ultraflo screed - Hemihydrate self levelling for UFH and had the rep out to quote. The concrete subfloor was left with a tamped finish. Screed rep suggested we have the subfloor "skimmed" or screeded...

Not sure if this is the correct section but i've discovered something of concern. Having removed all the tiles in the bathroom i've discovered an area of fluffy wall! This is soft and dry, it falls off if brushed but grows back after a week or so (house under going renovation - no heating...

Yep thats what i meant lol. Am i right in saying if using a foil backed board and its foil taped and sealed at all joins (floor/walls/celing) that no additonal VCL is needed? Remember being told if going for internal insulation to make sure it is sealed at the celing and continued above to...

Thanks for that, I think ill stick with the board and tape method. eaves will be opened up in due course, when replacing the fascia and soffits. Still a while off yet as chimneys need rebuilt before i can do anything with the roof. Same sort of thing for the soild walls then? Seen various...

Thanks for the reply, the products i've been looking at are - http://www.biofoamsprayinsulation.ie/ http://www.icynene.com/ theres a few others but i believe they are just different trade names. producing either a closed or open cell foam with approx U values of 0.25 and 0.35...

Hi Guys, Trying to figure out the best way to insulate the bungalow we are renovating. Its about 70% solid wall (other 30% is cavity due to a later added extension) and has a loft conversion (2 bedrooms). Roof construction (hip and valley) is concrete tiles/battens(i assume)/felt/15mm...

Have a look at IP cameras, I got a good quality 2 camera setup running for £200 (ebay sourced, no dedicated recorder though). You'll need a PC/NVR to record and some networking kit to make it work. Quality wise the picture is much better than my friends Swann Pro 700tvl system (approx 4x the...

Hi guys, Got a 2 Camera IP based system which is currently working well. I want to temporarily move one of them to a shed which has power but its a difficult run for a temporary cable and would leave the cable vunerable. I can pick up the wifi from the house on my phone in the shed so...

thanks, thats what i was considering although i was going to leave the 2 upstairs on the same zone. Is there cheaper alternatives to proper UFH manifolds? seems a 4 port UFH manifold is running about 120-150. Can thermoelectric valves be fitted to the speedfit manifolds? These come in...

Hi guys, Currently running first fix pipe work and looking at ways of connecting the rads and the UFH system and zoning everything so im not wasting heat on places that are empty. Zones would be UFH - has it own 7 zone control Conservatory Utility room towel rail 2 rads Upstairs...
