@Ferdinand it sold really quickly, obviously the appliances were a big part of that.

well if 27k is too much, perhaps this is better value, unfortunately now sold. we'll probably be buying from here. check out original price. https://www.usedkitchenexchange.co.uk/shop/sold/very-very-large-smallbone-of-devises-used-kitchen-wolf-sub-zero-miele-gaggenau-kitchen-appliances/

@Nick1c it depends on whether you want to hit or exceed building regs. if you wish to acheive min insulation timber is the easiest to source, find a joiner to buid a kit and insulate. if you wish to exceed regs, as many of us do, I beams are one of the ways. choose 350mm to get .1u value with blown cellulose, so no air spaces. you will still have an external cavity so damp shouldn't be a problem. this is the way i'm going though i'm having a service void to alow me to insulate then run water/elec at my leisure.

EDPM roofing material is far superior to the felt roofs of old, however, i have fitted many torch on felt roofs and found it to be a good product. i did burn the felt to the osb as opposed to sticking basic felt to the roof by pouring hot tar over the osb and then torching felt to that. 'but that's the way we've done it for years'.............
