  1. Window head and reveals are much better dabbed Then wet plastered up to them Then a skim bead on the edge Far easier to get a nice even margin and line
  2. I would still add 12.5 on top
  3. Loads of answers So probably repeating advise As a tiling contractor The problem is in the first sentence 6 mil ply is your problem It should have been at least 12.5 The matting will make little difference
  4. I would have perhaps started with your location and budget I found that using 70 mil insulated plasterboard dabbed directly onto the exterior walls has worked a treat on our previous build Hopefully does the same on our current build With three vaulted ceiling’s I’ve used 120 insulation between the rafters and taped them in multi foil
  5. You need 50 mil wider than your cavity bat Unless you full fill
  6. All ceilings have to have a minimum of 30 minutes fire rating A standard 12.5 mil pb will achieve this without any other fireproofing measures
  7. I’ve always used Trenched But I’m on a job of 200 homes at the moment All are untrenched They simple have three battens tacked to the casing
  8. There all fire rated For at least 30 minutes
  9. Never seem to get the M2 price for TF wry expensive compared to solids
  10. Then just wait for your app to be passed Ours are around 12 weeks still Covid of course
  11. I’d hold back I think your more likely to get a visit from Building Control wanting to look at the foundation
  12. No not really My wife and myself fitted the three sets of slider on the Saturday morning and I rendered the reveals in the afternoon It took longer to sheet the new doors up
  13. I rendered ours before I had the single story sunroom roof on Or windows in Little choice due to scratching
