Hi, we got our engineer out to do a final inspection on our house and we hence got a snag list of things to be done. Can I just ask a few things from this list that I just want to clarify please:-
a) Ramped approach access at the front in accordance with Part M of bulinding regs. Now we put a ramp at the back of the house which you can drive to, so we didn't think we needed one at the front as well. Do you not just have to have one access that is wheelchair accessible?
b) our house is a passive air tight house and they want the cavity in the timber frame to be venilated using proprietary ventilators? Who would we employ to this, would we get the timber frame co. back? Will this cost a lot?
c) We need more insulation in the roof which was included in total price with Timberframe co., Should they give us the remainder for nothing?
And Finally....
d)the roof timbers should not butt up to the chimney breast, there has to be a minimum gap of 40mm between roof and blockwork, is this the timberframe companies fault also. Get them back?
Sorry, just need to figure out some of this before I ring the engineer and also the timberframe co. Want to sound like I know what I am doing instead of blagging it!!
