Depends you blonde or brunette? :shocked3:

 

[pappasmurf]

Gray0689 the plumber will only commit to hard copy quote if i want to go ahead with the quote discussed verbally. so don't have anything on paper i'm afraid. but it is as per i've listed previously (posts 82 and 95).

 

[Gray0689]

So it's £10.5k exclusive of vat for labour only of fitting boiler cylinder copper work for kitchen & utility all copper work for 4 times shower rooms witch will have 1x wc 1x whb & leave for shower supply underfloor installation complete commission of said boiler & cylinder.

Builder will be doing all floor insulation and tanking for liquid screed insulation round external walls for cold bridge
All soils and wastes for above kitchen utility and shower rooms & fitting of all sanitary ware

 

[pappasmurf]

Gray0689 yes!... the insulation on the ground floor and tanking+screeding will be done by the builder the plumber to lay all floor panels both on the ground floor and upper floors for underfloor heating.

 

[Gray0689]

Floor panels?

 

[pappasmurf]

[Gray0689]

Aw spreader plates on first floor
You can use any kind of mat or rails on ground floor
What mate of underfloor you looking at

 

[pappasmurf]

Gray0689 have a look at this you tube video....Thermoboard System Plates - YouTube

 

[Gray0689]

Will do mate

 

[Gray0689]

Looks grand but I would not be recommending wavin under foor heating pipe
Normally use glo myself and its 20 mm pipe not 15mm or 16mm and uponor is good stuff too

 

[pappasmurf]

Gray0689 never heard of them!.... the only makes i know of are Polyplumb (have this in my existing house), Wavin, and emmeti. Wavin now give a 100 year guarantee on their pipework!!!!! and their composite manifolds are very robust looking and entirely modular 🙂 Thermoboard Composite Manifold Installation - YouTube

 

[Gray0689]

Emmeti and uponor are very similar
I'd go with emmeti or uponor imho
I prefer stainless metal manifolds

 

[pappasmurf]

ok but i think i will go with Wavin brand 🙂 + they have very good RF controls. one RF wiring centre per Manifold

 

[Gray0689]

Check out uponor imho C56 I76 and wireless digital controls

 

[pappasmurf]

Gray0689 your having a laugh!....have you seen the price?!!!.... Uponor ucs radio i-75 i/face with c-55 control

 

[Gray0689]

That's a high price can get a lot cheaper than that

 

[Gray0689]

Check out u heat website

 

[pappasmurf]

i did..... i even went on you tube...... now i remeber i have heard of them...... and also remeber someone at the last PHEX show (Wembley)someone put me off of them... something about they werent that popular and that they might be going into receivership soon!

 

[Gray0689]

Lol uponor are a massive company mate huge in Europe can't see them going under and I'm building a house soon and that's what I'll put in my own house
I already have the manifolds c56 I 76 and the didital wireless stats

 

[Gray0689]

Ps if there that many in house hot water consumption going to be high
You thought about solar panel?

 

[SimonG]

What's the plumber charging for standing time?, waiting for materials or the builder?

 

[chris watkins]

Never mind standing time, SimonG, just imagine his surprise when he get uni-strut & munson rings instead of the plastic clips that he priced for installing. You can just see this one turning into a bun fight quick as anything. what do you reckon one, maybe two weeks tops ?

 

[SimonG]

I was thinking a couple of weeks, if you can get cracked on. Trouble is big jobs never go well, co-ordination is always an issue and the plumber ends up in the mushroom shed. (kept in the dark and fed a load of crap)

 

[pappasmurf]

ok all you party people, hows it going? gone abit quite on this thread 🙁 ..... got a quote from a screed it firm offering to supply and install underfloor heating to entire property (240m2) including insulating 235mm depth of EPS insulation and DPC membraning on the whole of the groundfloor. The 1st first floor and loft floor to also have UFH. The builder to install the insulation on battens on the top 2 floors. The heating manifolds and PEX pipework will be Emmeti. All the controls will be Wireless Heatmiser (PRT-W) thermostats. The whole of the groundfloor will also be fully Liquid Screeded to a depth of 65mm. This installation does not include any pipework up to the manifolds. The plumber will have to do all that. They are quoting me approx £10,000 for the whole job. Does anyone know if these Emmeti brand and heatmiser brands are any good?.... someone was telling me that Emmeti is/was linked to Uponor!... is this true?... also how does this price sound to you guys?... pls advise 🙂

 

[Howsie]

Get a couple or three quotes and then decide from there.

 

[pappasmurf]

Howsie yes i will be doing that, but i just thought that someone on here might have an idea or two on the price 🙂

 

[Howsie]

Of course we have but to be honest, it's a little like my dog chasing her own tail.
