    I’ve a friend who is a self employed heating engineer Whilst he’s quite capable of installing a HP He’s decided to go down the grant route As he can’t buy the equipment in for anywhere near the 3k that he’s having to pay on top of his grant

    To be fair If you added a nine pop treatment plant as apposed to a six Who would know or care Certainly not BC Once backfilled your left with a manhole cover and they all look the same

    Over the past 12 months I’ve asked three different eco installers and been given almost exactly the same answer as John

    No the 18 layer foil is equivalent to 90 mil of rigid pri and far easier to seal with tape in awkward spaces Use two layers

    We had a similar issue raised by BC I simply requested a drawing of that section of foundation with a few calcs from the Structural engineer He will of already allowed for this hedge in his foundation design As Temp as pointed out Removing often causes problems

    I’ve similar setup in two places I used multi-foil to rap them Then taped the seams

    No need 15-12.5 plain boards will be fine if you already have a membrane
  9. nod
    I buttoned and fixed a membrane Then used a 12 mill faced ply

    300 k sounds very healthy to get to watertight I’ll watch with interest

    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

    I would still add 12.5 on top

    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

    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

    You need 50 mil wider than your cavity bat Unless you full fill

    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

    😂😂😂😂

    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
  22. nod
    There all fire rated For at least 30 minutes

    Never seem to get the M2 price for TF wry expensive compared to solids

    I’d hold back I think your more likely to get a visit from Building Control wanting to look at the foundation
