    Retrofit wet UFH

    Morning Guys, We're going down the route of machining the floor screed for ufh pipes to be laid in. I've been told the mixer will control water flow to 30ºC but looking at the LVT, we're being told it'll only take 27ºC. Are other LVTs available that will take a little higher?

    Retrofit wet UFH

    I’ve just given these guys a call. 16mm deep channel with 14mm pipe at 125mm centres ~ 100w/m^2 Which is 50% more than the retrofit kits. And far less complicated to fit. I’ll send my floor plan over to them to quote up. Thank you Paz

    Retrofit wet UFH

    A quick calc suggests our floor is 0.785 W/m²K Which looks to be some attempt at compliance circa ~2000 when it was built

    Retrofit wet UFH

    I guess the fireplace has to come out? Rebed the hearth higher up, move the mantle too? Also new front door in first too?

    Retrofit wet UFH

    We don't have enough insulation under our screed for that AFAIK.

    Retrofit wet UFH

    What is the best retrofit system? Would it still require screed over the top?

    Retrofit wet UFH

    Fair point… the full picture. Oil boiler is nearing EOL. Boiler service + parts, breakdowns etc in the last 2.5 years is costing £300 a year just to keep it going and we’re told it was rubbish when new, now it’s old and rubbish I should keep a £5k pot ready for its replacement… Next issue, 3/5...

    Retrofit wet UFH

    Done a little digging We have 25mm of polystyrene then 50mm of screed on our floors. How bad an idea is it to just rip all that out, lay new insulation (something better than polystyrene) and screed over wet UFH VS trying to overlay a retrofit kit.

    Retrofit wet UFH

    Thanks for the info, looks like a suitable way for us to go-despite the upheaval. But to replace all of the microbore downstairs would require butchering the walls, coving anyway. and pulling floors upstairs. Either way-it won't be pretty. Are you on a heat pump?

    Retrofit wet UFH

    Thank you for the info, that would make life much less messy, the mrs wants to replace all the skirting anyway, Id need to trim all my new doors down :/ ~17mm I could deal with, we only have 8’ ceilings so would certainly want as minimal as possible.

    Retrofit wet UFH

    We have a ~2000 build, EPC says solid concrete floor assumed, no insulation. We’re looking to change from oil to ASHP and part of that will be pretty drastic plumbing changes. Perhaps wet UFH is the way to go. Dig up ground floor slab, insulate and add UFH. Then I saw on TikTok a company...

    Solar panel production figures

    Evening all I've made a crude excel doc trying to keep tabs of the £ +/- in our first year with solar. Has anyone made similar that'd you'd be willing to share? Or perhaps take a look at mine? I have 17 panels split 7x SE and 10x SW. 3.6kW inverter and 5.12kWh storage.

    Last minute help/advice preparing kitchen for install! (Flooring and filling mice holes...)

    The Rentokill guy who comes to my work told me this. I've not seen a mouse or any signs thereof since I plugged a few holes at home with WW and foam.

    Job interview advice.

    In our industry, the grad scheme has seen hoardes of grads come and go. Invariably they aren't very good in the real world. I didn't come into the business through the grad scheme, I did a 4 year apprenticeship, learned a craft and subsequently a few more whilst pushing for further education and...

    Job interview advice.

    It's not an assumption I've made, the guy currently in the role was a graduate (30+ years ago) has told me he would specifically value my back ground to that of another grad. -we've had plenty. Anyway... Interview went well, lasted around 1hr 20. They said lots of positive things as I was...

    Job interview advice.

    I don't see the relevance for NEBOSH for that role IMO, but I understand its a blanket prerequisite for jobs of this calibre. I've annotated my cv for my own reference with examples I can give backing up my experience. I'll do the same with the advert in the morning to hopefully help me out of...

    Job interview advice.

    Thank you. I did apply, under instruction from the guy currently in the role. I'll see if he's on site first thing and have a chat if I can. I think they know I am capable on many levels, but likely understand my shortcomings at least as well as I do. I work continental shifts, so if it's not...

    Solar panels and battery - any real world reccomendations?

    I have the 3.6kW Sunsynk. It can't handle 5.1kW from what I have seen.

    Job interview advice.

    Evening all, Applied for a job internally that I am underqualified for in terms of academics but I've got lots of relevant experience having worked in the business for 14 years. The guy currently in the role that I've applied for has told me that I'd be perfect for the job and suggested I apply...
