  1. Unfortunately paint and filler won’t stay on cement board Thin coat is fine if it’s done right
  2. You don’t pay for building control till all the planning and materials are agreed We paid around £850 for a full house and workshop I think LA have a standard price for there services
  3. Don’t forget to weight the track down overnight Bricks bags What ever you have handy
  4. Use ISO roll Cut it into three with a sharp hand saw 400 mil rolls before taking the plastic off
  5. K is as good as anything There guarantee and customer support IIs miles ahead of the rest Webbers reps all ding from the same hymn sheet Blame the installer or the temperature etc
  6. Your Architect is at fault Not the bricklayer 10 mil is not enough Even if the brickwork and blockwork is absolutely perfect 10 mil isn’t enough room 25 is tight but 50 is better Im surprised no one has pointed this out
  7. I would imagine that the minimum pitch is hardly any and most will be a standard pitch
  8. A dense concrete block will be fine Most Architects specify dot and dab It does have a warmer fell if sealed properly Using an insulated plasterboard for dot and dab on the perimeter walls will up rate your U values and give you a very warm build Timber Frame is a very good option But expect to add about a third to your build cost
  9. Depending on the finish 2k is alright if your not having to do anything yourself
  10. Just to add I put attic trusses in ours and cavity wall 10 meter x7.5 Slate roof and slab insulated and loo Based on under a £1000 M2 for main house
  11. A breach is a breach But it hardly seems fair We lost patience and requested the planning officer be replaced As she had passed a build near by without any requests We cited inconsistencies Her boss requested 48 to make a decision Then passed it a couple of hours later I would say they don’t want the attention Everybody has someone above them
  12. Ask for her to be replaced We did and it was passed the following day
  13. That’s closet I can find on my phone Prior to being counter battened with 3-1 Exactly the same on an internal Just reversed Your skimmer or taper will do the rest
