Easy to do and very effective with a wood effect porcelain tile but far more tricky with timber, where it will fade to grey when exposed.

I am with @SteamyTea I know you have posted a few similar questions but I think if you are a first time developer now seems the perfect time to lose your shirt on this project. You would need about £165k cash and a track record to get anyone to fund this.

I think he has sold his digger. Let's not give him more work. The trench will need filling in any case and there is a mile of fall on the garden and sh!t does not flow uphill. It can probably be backfilled with the as dug and compacted to the correct level without any great harm. Maybe use a trench compactor if there is a lot of material.

I have had stuff rendered with just basecoat and mesh, rubbed up to a sanded finish and painted. Used Weber LAC. Excellent.

Where is all this escaping water going to end up? I think sand cement and build up a collar round the pipes will be enough. If it is many gallons of water it will escape somewhere anyhow.

Is there no way you could widen the existing access? I think a new access over common land is a no-no.

Sand and cement would do it. You could build it up a little bit on the top. Stuff a bit of paper in to stop it falling through.

Make sure you get pipe inserts for the fittings.

We are near a river but it is a brick faced concrete wall between it and us. The bottom of downpipes are directly on the gulley grilles. Base of cladding at first floor level has proper metal vents. Sewer pipe has a non return valve. Outside is all paved. What they really like is food.

Nice neat benching.

All the drainage looks really deep. Was the system designed? Shallow can be a lot easier to install and maintain.

I would just use a couple of 30 or 45 degrees and pipe between.

I was looking at this a while ago and had Passivent on my shortlist as well. They did a system where the vents in the rooms reacted to the local humidity. It looked quite clever but I just went with standard extracts in the end.

The Egger Protect you are using is fine for bathrooms - better than green chipboard.

The silane based wood floor adhesives work on most substrates. You do not require underlay, the blocks need to be fully stuck down. Ask the adhesive supplier for advice. It is expensive stuff. Wood blocks are easy to mess up, so do your research and prep.

My favourite would be D4 glue on joists and all board edges and a few Paslode nails to hold the boards in place. Leave a perimeter expansion gap. Fit screws after you are watertight.

Just off the M4 heading in to Wootton Bassett.

It looks like the single switch (above) is to isolate the transformer (below) so you could switch off the consumer unit power, remove the wire from the switch that leads to the transformer, then switch power back on.

Check the sizes as if they are tall they may not go under the garage door, especially on pallets. My preference would be to prepare a flat area with type 1 and drop the pallets there with a forklift, cover with tarpaulin until you are ready to fit. Once you take them off the pallets they will be more difficult to protect.

I have used a couple of TF firms just doing standard 140mm kit. It comes down to what spec you are looking for and how much they do. If you want it to be fairly risk free, perhaps look at MBC Timber Frame, who several on here have used. They give you a guaranteed airtightness on completion and a variety of frame types to give varying u values.

You don't need ventilation with a ground bearing concrete floor. You do need at least 100mm of insulation if it is Celotex type, 150mm min if expanded polystyrene. Lovely and warm and dry.

Squaredeal do the Hardie cement board stuff https://www.squaredealupvcshop.co.uk/product/smooth/

Hi @Field_of_Dreams and welcome. It looks a very good candidate for timber frame. You could get a firm to supply and erect the superstructure so you have watertight fully insulated buildings that you can work on at a pace to suit you. Simple erection with a telehandler. Perhaps get a few quotes for comparison?

Not needed, but nothing to stop you. You will obs need some more timber where the wall on the left is flush with the truss.

If this is still about soakaway sizing, just use the calc I gave - 1m3 for each 60m2 of plan area. Does not matter what sort of roof goes on, just length x width. The stuff about the roof slope is just for gutters and downpipes, not soakaways.
