Is he burning just for sake of burning? The heat store should surely knock the burn off when it gets to maximum stored / heat volume, on domestic and heating needs. I cant believe that he has a major heat loss of such proportion from his build. Regs are quite stringent on full self builds, more so than doing an add-on or extension. Underfloor heating is a tick over scenario once up to temp and usually very efficient to run. I’m favouring an installation cock up some where that isn’t knocking the system out of play when it should and its sending all other / excess heat out the flue. [emoji848]?

Had this scenario first hand, Sold a 1990 mk2 RS Turbo to lad from London years back. He turned up after catching lots of trains to get here, had a look round car, checked engine bay and the likes as you do, took it for a drive, passed comment on how clean it was, how free from oil it was in the usual places etc....... Rang me up 3 hours later telling me he was on the services broken down, there was a severe oil leak and loss of drive??? ?♂️ I said, well you checked round it, drove it, commented on it for being clean etc, and you also signed a little piece of paper, a written receipt that said “sold as seen, no warranties given”.... he put phone down on me [emoji15] how rude! ?

We’re in a large 3 bed bungalow, 4” brick with a 4” cavity and shitty sinter block internally, my foundations only go to about 600mm too as were on to blue clay round here [emoji35][emoji35][emoji35] (pig to dig out and hellish wet at same time) the floors inside are literally rubble, sand blinded with some what looks like tiny chipped slate, (similar looking to hen grit, and like what you get on roofing felt) theres about 10mm of it the its just simply bitumen poured on top, 20mm thick i’d say. We’ve still no carpets down yet as i said to her i didnt want them till building work was done, so just got rugs down everywhere, pointless when dragging crap in all time. As it goes, carpets are to go down in the new year as extension etc is all done now. Garage starts end of April.

Wow [emoji33] thats a huge outlay! You must be in a big house, an ibc in less that a week is going some, but as said if your in a huge house then its very reasonable, and having free flow of wood obviously is a huge bonus. I’d have to pretty much buy in everything as not got free run of wood. Great idea leaving old oil system in place as a back up. I had thought about (when my garage is built) the possibility of running heating on waste oil as i can get a abundance of the stuff. I’d could probably connect into existing heating system but have to introduce zone valves as to bypass my current combi boiler, and it would obviously have to run on its own separate pump. Trouble is with waste oil your in to burning licences etc [emoji30][emoji30][emoji30] but all doable.

Biggest loss for us will be in the floors in the main house, they’re all solid bitumen topped floors so can lose a fair bit of heat i would imagine around perimeter.
