    Home on grid battery install

    Anyone know who is allowed to fit a solar battery. I have Solar PV panels already fitted and now want to fit a battery system. I presume it has to be done by a competent fitter, but are there further restrictions. I'm intending to use an inverter/charger SOFAR ME3000SP which I believe is G99...

    Laying/Fitting Karndean Heritage suggestion

    I'm looking at laying Karndean Heritage MAYF-02 which consists of many small tile pieces. I believe they are supplied as 12"x12" panels of 32 tiles arranged for the desired pattern, with all the pieces held together by removable sticky film. I've been told by one fitter that they remove the...

    A few years ago we had, through a local government grant, external wall insulation fitted. Recently we had some work to be done and a ladder placed against the wall pierced the render. The roofer doing this work said that the rendered wall should take the force of a ladder against it and that...

    Internal wall insulation - What to do in floor space.

    I'm carrying out some internal wall insulation with insulated plasterboard. I know that I have to insulate the region below the floor to prevent cold bridging. However the floor's 2" timbers are only about 2cm from the wall. Would it be sufficient to inject expanding foam into that area or do I...

    Move gas meter a few centimetres away from wall

    I am about to fit some external wall insulation and the gas meter is attached to the wall that is to be insulated. The fitters will insulate around the meter, but this will mean there will be a cold spot where the meter is. Would moving the meter a few centimetres from the wall to fit insulation...

    DIY External wall insulation

For the EWI one company went bust taking my deposit of £1500 with them. A second EWI company promised to...

    Can EPC be issued on proposed work

    AS header, can an EPC be prepared based on proposed work to be carried out on a property. Looking to install PV before end of year, but will have ongoing external wall insulation extending into the new year. Without the EWI i would not get the high rate FIT.

    Concrete base for garage

    im in the process of building a 9m x 6m wooded (44mm) log garage. As the garage is close to a now felled tree I have been told that it will need 2m deep trenches to support the base. This seems unbelievably excessive as the whole garage weighs only 2.5 tons with the base potentially weighing 50...
