Hello folks. A simple question, my plasterer is booked in. There is still a lot of boarding to do. Simply put should I get a room plastered whilst still fitting boards in other rooms? Or will the dust ruin my finish?

Hello folks I'm about to fully membrane my ceiling before my cellulose insulation goes in. Simply put I've watched a few videos about membraning. My joiners were going to do it, but I reckon myself and my girlfriend can do a better job. With that in mind, can anyone share any resources or tips for me to get this right?

Hello! I'm just about to get the tiling finished on my new clay tile roof. On my previous concrete tile roof moss was always a problem since I'm surrounded by trees. Simply put is there any good solution I can do now whilst it's still mostly new to help stop moss growth?

Mad rush to screwfix. I got a few ducts in one location but not the other... threw them in as they were pouring the screed. Better than nothing..

What would you hold it down with? I'm worried it will float. Also got potential crossing of UFH

Hello folks. I have around 250mm of insulation with some water pipes underneath and UFH pipes installed on top. I've just realised I need networking / power and speaker cable to next to my sofas and kitchen island. See above pictures, do I panic cancel the screed company who are due at 9 or is there something I can do in a few hours before they arrive?

The roofer suggested lead valleys too. Think that's probably the way forwards! Cheers for the extra input.

Hello folks. I have a roofer due to come today and I ordered a "closed dry valley" system. My worry is I'm surrounded by trees and this will get clogged and full of junk. I can get something like this GRP open dry valley locally and collected easily or I can opt for something like a Kytun Aluminium valley which will take 2 weeks to come. https://www.travisperkins.co.uk/fibreglass-valleys/danelaw-group-tile-valley-trough-grey-380mm-x-3m-rp3/p/915427 I can't really see the valleys from ground level so this is all about performance. Any thoughts on what I should do?

Hello folks! A quick sanity check. Norrsken want quite a sum of money ( it will be around £1200 inc vat on around 10 windows / doors ) Simply put should I leave it to them or do it myself? I am guessing there is a few hundred pounds worth of tape there. Norssken use 'Elite Installations' to do their installs.

I have a quote from guttercrest. You got some pictures of the finished product?

Got any pics? Happy with finish?

Hello folks! I am in the process of renovating my bungalow. Got lots of posts here but I am wondering if I should use anyone in particular for my aluminium downpipes / gutters / soffits and fascias? I will be going for Basalt Grey - RAL7012 These are the companies who have quoted so far and prices coming back in the 6-10k range for everything. https://www.marleyalutec.co.uk/products/ https://www.guttercrest.co.uk/downpipes/ https://alugutter.co.uk/collections/aluminium-guttering Anyone have any thoughts or recommendations?

I am in the process of sarking my roof with Steico Universal 22mm wood fibre boards. One thing I am trying to decide is the best approach for the roof membrane. My joiner is currently on site and plans to staple the membrane on top of the sarking boards as he goes. The alternative is to leave this step for the roofer when he arrives, which would mean potentially fewer staple penetrations in the membrane but means I have to wait longer to be watertight Any thoughts around this?

In respect of EWI? That's likely the material I'll have to go with for EWI anyway above DPC.

120EWI all the way around with a combination of either render or cladding finish.
