Geez, why can’t anyone just accept the agreement was as I described. It’s no good saying you should have said this or you should have said that and what inside leg measurement he has. The deal was as I described. From my understanding of the sector a price per meter or per block if you like is...

Bloody Hell, what a load of irrelevant questions/observations. The price stated is to LAY a block, which obviously includes laying it level and pointing it up. Nothing more, nothing less, so is the normal approach to charge for a patio cavity. That’s all I’m asking.

Ok, just to clarify, the bricky quotes £2 to lay a block, not make the tea, not to sing not to supply, just to lay the blocks. The job is as simple as it gets. That was the simple agreement.

So, I get a rate for laying laying some 100mm concrete blocks and aerated blocks of £2.00 a block. Job is in the West Midlands and consists of a single story kitchen extension. I’m ok with the rate but find I am now being invoiced to include the area of a patio window of 6m2 = £240. build is...

Thanks for all that input guys. After far to much umming and arrrring I settled for glass. 11/2500 x900x8 mm cost me £750 which was cheaper than any alternative I could find.

Hi, I’m building a substantial veranda 10m x 3m with 8 degree pitch. Preferred roof option would be glass but that is coming in at £2000. Would be grateful for any thoughts on other options such as polycarbonate or Perspex or any other option someone may have experience off. cheers

Hi Guys, as stated in the thread title as I know sweet FA about soar panels, I would like a steer on what I need to proved power to light a shipping container with LED ‘s. It seems I need a panel, a battery, a connector box and I’d read somewhere about a device that stops the battery...

You’re spot on, that is what Mira warned me about. The solution is to put a pressure reduction valve at 1 bar. Thanks for your interest guys

I’m not sure what it all means so I’m not going to get to excited about it. I’ll run with it and if it fails you’ll see me paddling my canoe down Halesowen high street

Mira spec for the pumped version is Max Maintained head 1 bar and max static head of 10 bar……..

Put a 1 bar prv on. I’m thinking there must be someway of reducing flow and pressure to a level that isn’t going to cause a major problem.

Think mine is circa 3bar but could easily choke it down

T&B, I thought someone like me (a tight arse) would have tried so thanks for that…..I am so tempted to give it go.

Thanks Madrab, your thinking what I am thinking. The reason I’m looking at this is firstly it’s for me so no client to worry about and secondly I can get a new pumped unit for £150 as opposed to £700 I must admit that when I’ve installed a pumped mixer to low pressure system I’ve always choked...

Guys, what would be the implications of using a Mira Platinum pumped digital shower on a high pressure system. Would it be ok to simply crank down the flow from the incoming hot and cold.

Don’t look any further than James Hardi cladding. Not cheap but you get what you pay for. if you can use a hammer and or a drill it’s a straight forward job.

Hi All, I have 150meters of pex left over from an underfloor heating installation. am I ok to use this left over pipe for the domestic hot and cold water supply at the same house. are there any issues I should be aware of? thanks

Thanks Lost…..I guess there must be a lot of guys that use them. I’m sort of thinking that if they didn’t work to well they wouldn’t have an ongoing market for them. @ £22 I think I’ll give them a go and report back

Hi Guys, am looking to buy a couple of new 5mh batteries and am tempted by something like the Waitely after market as a substitute for the real thing. can anyone recommend a good substitute battery or is it a matter of ‘you get what you pay for’ thanks for any input.
