    After some more digging, it seems the Viessmann 200-W may do what I want controlling underfloor heating and radiators, I'm checking the documentation and have a quick chat with viessmann engineer today on the phone to get some more details, more to follow next week...

    Multizone system and OpenTherm, mixing radiators and underfloor heating

    I could do as well. I never considered them as I'm not entirely sure how reliable they are. Do you think it makes sense to go for an opentherm underflor heating system?

    Multizone system and OpenTherm, mixing radiators and underfloor heating

    doing a bit more of research gives me Evohome as the only underfloor heating system that is opentherm compatible. Then comes the question, is it worth going through all the hassle and costs? I would like to use proper opentherm everywhere as I like what it does on paper. EPH does not have an...

    Multizone system and OpenTherm, mixing radiators and underfloor heating

    I’m in the process of acquiring a new boiler due to the conversion of my loft and the installation of a mechanical ventilation and heat recovery system. I’ve recently discovered that Google Nest is unable to handle multi-zone systems and reverts to a simple on/off thermostat. My preference would...

    Software for running small construction business

    I'm trying to help a friend that works in construction and is not very good with technology to use some software to manage his construction business. He was trying to use something called HBXL which is proper crap, so I've taken the opportunity to try finding something else.. I found a couple of...

    Has anyone got experience with underfloor heating for lofts?

    I'm insulating everything, it is going to be a habitable space. What would use less energy than underfloor heating in your opinion or be better suited?

    Has anyone got experience with underfloor heating for lofts?

    I was trying to find concrete/screed floorboards that can be used as the structural floorboard and at the same have the grooves for the underfloor heating pipes. The idea of using a concrete/screed floorboard is to have better thermal conductivity and less height instead of using floorboards...

    Party wall agreement with crazy neighbour and surveyor

    I'm planning to server notice again with a neighbour as a witness record video and stick the letter to her door. I don't see the point of appointing a solicitor that will not be able to do anything besides getting money out of this. I guess the best I can do is take pictures, record all notices...

    Party wall agreement with crazy neighbour and surveyor

    Hello! I have a bit of a crazy neighbour that doesn't answer notice letters, doesn't answer the door, and hides away all the time. I cannot get the person to sign my party wall agreement, so I spoke to a surveyor that recommended I get 2 surveyors, one for me and one for the neighbour. I know...

    Fill up gap between door frame and surface of plasterboard

    I ended up getting 12, 6 and 4mm wood strips so I could cut them and the steps in between I could smooth with a routing tool. It worked fine, just a minimal cosmetic gaps here and there which I'm planning to use some sort of filler and then hide it completely with paint.

    Fill up gap between door frame and surface of plasterboard

    Yes I get what you mean, good point. I guess I can just manually chisel it away. The other side will be using the plasterboard as a guide so it would be okay.

    Fill up gap between door frame and surface of plasterboard

    Did you have to cut in an angle as well or was it 18mm from top to bottom? My main issue is the angle I need to cut it at. Actually I'm looking to get a plunge saw at the moment, just checking options, may get a Makita SP6000J1. I have a 18mm MDF laying around as well, but that is still way too...

    Fill up gap between door frame and surface of plasterboard

    Then I'll have the archivate with a gap between it and the plasterboard, but I guess that would be easier to fill with something else? I just released I have a routing tool, so I'm thinking about cutting the wood strips to length, nail them in place and then use the routing tool zeroed to the...

    Fill up gap between door frame and surface of plasterboard

    Thanks for that, my problem is that the plasterboard is at a small angle compared to the door frame, so I need to find a way to trim it at an angle I guess to fit in there

    Fill up gap between door frame and surface of plasterboard

    Pardon my ignorance, but how I can do that? I don't get how I can build the lining out.

    Fill up gap between door frame and surface of plasterboard

    One of the sides of my wall is around 10mm off level to my door frame as I built up 3 layers of plasterboard with tecsound in between to lower the noise transfer, as this is a home office. I was thinking about how to fill this gap with a strip of wood, but I need to plain it at an angle and I've...

    rail/track saw options

    I was looking at an entry level track saw or rail saw (not sure what is the best name) and I was eyeing the Evolution R185CCSX+ as it seems to be a interesting DIY option. The saw cost £90, the 2800mm tracks cost £77, but when I started checking the reviews of the track, it seems to be crap...

    16mm2 conductor terminals

    They look chunky from what I've seen, so not something I could fit on a 100x100mm box I guess, but I'm happy to be proven wrong. I've checked a few options, all of them are quite large for what I need that is nust to connect 3x 16mm conductors to other 3x 16mm conductors

    16mm2 conductor terminals

    I don't like these plastic terminals with screws, I've seen them getting loose with time, sparks coming out and burning. I had this in my house, then I replaced everything with wabo boxes and wago 221 connectors, now I can rope skipping with the wiring with zero maintenance.
