How much should i expect to pay labour only to screed 101 meters over UFH pipe work. Readymix will be delivered on site and have to be barrowed into the building. Many thanks.

I ask as i realise that larger tiles would need cutting to form them possibly leaving sharp edges in the shower base, and i don't mind mosaicing the entire...

I'm using Kingspan in the studwork on a timber framed house and i'm looking for suggestions on what to use to stick it to the OSB, rather than use thin strips of wood on the studwork to hold it in place? Cheers

I intend fitting a system in a 200m2 new build, but i'm confused by the amount of companies out there selling whole house systems. Do any forum members have one fitted and can recommend a company?.

I've decided on which ASHP i'm going to buy (9kw Ecodan) and had my mind set on the Gledhill Torrent, but have been told that it's not that good in that the hot water tubing/coils are incorrectly sized. Is this a generally held opinion of it? It appeared that i could also connect a...

I've decided to install an ASHP in a 200m2 new build house. The house will have kingspan insulation reducing the u values by a third and underfloor heating with a woodburning stove in the lounge. I've been looking at the Nibe Fighter 8kw and the Sanyo CO2 9kw. Do any forum members have...

I'm about to build a 180m timber frame house later this year and as the only onsite power supply is electricity i'm considering a heat pump with underfloor heating. Using economy 7 or 10 to run the pump and heat the hot water with a couple of storage heaters upstairs, maybe. I've also noticed...

I'm about to start laying the slabs in a 5x5mtr area with a drain in the dead centre. Is there a set method for doing this? I've heard of the envelope method and i'm assuming that it's a matter of quartering the area and laying the slabs from the perimeter edge tapering towards the drain with...

I'm about to lay some sandstone slabs of various sizes on a DPM, three inches of compacted sharp sand, and an inch of mortar. What concerns me though is the grouting/pointing as the mortar could stain the sandstone and i would like to know if there is a way of avoiding this happening. Is it...
