I was hoping for some practical information such as, Local Building Control Certificate or pipes from ashp to hot water storage are insulated, etc

Look for information on what checks, physical and documentation, a Building Control Inspector will make on a New Build with a Air Source Heat Pump (ground mounted heat pump, unvented cylinder, storage unit, buffer tank and underfloor heating? See attached image for a general overview)

Hi I have a new build house built 6 years ago. I have noticed a puddle of water on the door threshold, see attached. Is this leak covered with a 10 year warranty?

Thank you for the information.

Hi. I understand from another thread that it's possible to tell the energy rating of a glazing panel from the code printing on the spacer bar. I have attached my code, if someone could advise please. Thank you.

I have had some plasterboard and plastering done. The plaster has been painted with a mist coat and 3 top coats, generally 24 hrs between coats. However, I have a mottled effect where the beading is around edges/corners. I have even tried a Cover Stain product, but this didn't cover the...

I am unable to do brick work with mortar, but would be ok with and adhesive.

I am going to make some small concrete block planters, only 3 courses high and wide. I understand you can use construction adhesive rather than a mortar mix. Any recommendations as to the best adhesive to use.

My son has the camera in Dubai. Im in the UK still supervising the roofing works. I believe that end is not horizontal as there are 3 layers of membrane on that "Y" corner. I do think it's too much.

Thanks. Next time I will use my Canon 5D Mk4, and red prime lens (professional camera). The camera is in Dubai at the moment taking pictures like the attached. Thanks again for your comments.

What was wrong with my images, it was taken on an iphone 13 pro max. I just been out and checked, they did use a remix product. Does that weather better?

I just wanted to know what people in the trade thought of the mitre joints to the ridge and hips. Should it have been in black, at a leaser angle, less cement? Wife is not happy!!

I am know nothing about roofing, but what I saw just didn't look right. That's why I asked if it was acceptable.

Just looking for some more input as to if this is acceptable?

Just want to check. Are you saying it's OK?

Hi Having a mechanical vented ridge and hip system installed. I captured this image of the hip batten being installed. They have cut away a lot of the tile to fit the batten, but there are still some areas where the batten touches a tile resulting in the batten not being straight. I...

Still awaiting the quotes.

Thank all for your replies. Now seen a couple of roofers and have been offered different opinions of what to do: 1. Ventilated ridge and hips (all dry) 2. Ventilated ridge and wet hips. I definitely want to go with a ventilated ridge. Appreciate opinions on what is the right way to go?

It is from a reputable company and looking for another quote, but difficult to get roofers around at the moment.
