Isn't there a risk of encroaching on the 25, 50mm or whatever gap under the membrane doing that and thus comprising the air flow? (Don't get me wrong I love FM330).

3D print a black, snap on cover.

Aren't both pronouns a little assumptive? You know what these academics are like! "Their" would perhaps me more appropriate... 😉 -
Unfortunately the whole construction method has loads of non airtight "gaps", PIR against the timber, even timbers ostensibly butted up against each other. It all adds up.

I've a couple of lathe & plaster ceilings to take down. Need a respirator but don't want to pay 3M money. I've been recommended this "clone": https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005005857155207.html However people are suggesting I then use genuine 3M filters in it. However I've also found these: https://www.amazon.co.uk/ANUNU-Cartridges-Respirator-Chemical-Compatible/dp/B0B68R61L8?ref_=dslp_ap_dp Thoughts? Cheers

Measure it and I'll 3D print one in TPU if you like.

@SteamyTea was it you who mentioned the term I think "wind washing"? On the lines that cold air blowing around the cavity i.e the other side of the plasterboard just strips it of heat?

Looking for example projects and extensions built on rock

Have a look at this lad building as garage on rock: https://www.mig-welding.co.uk/forum/threads/stuff-you-have-made-today.67127/page-1462#post-2484267 -
Would adding Putty Pads to the sockets help cut down the air leakage through them? https://passivefireprotection.co.uk/socket-box-protection---ceukca-126-c.asp

Did they use cavity closers around the windows?
-
After this point, I'm assuming aside from not foaming the gaps, that they didn't then foil tape over the timber joists so that and the foil on the PIR became an airtight membrane?

You could hide it with coving.....

"Shed" 😂😉 Still makes me smile.

Sounds like a parallel of my place. A concrete path all around. Pretty sure the footings bricks/blocks have a gaps in them. Won't know until I have the paths up.
