Hi, you could just pour self levelling but the voids would just gobble up extra material. I would fill the large voids with a 3:1 or 4:1 sharp sand and cement. Before filling remove any loose material and bond with pva/water. Then trowel and float the fairly dry mix in and tamp down to compact it into the voids. Easy to do and you may find you don’t need to self level if the rest of the floor is pretty good

Hi, try turning it up a bit, or even to max for a short while. Good chance it will clear and run smoothly, then you can take it down a bit at a time. A boiler trying to run too low will not burn cleanly

What flow temp are you running it at? Have you turned the temp/s down?

Omg! Bet that wasn’t in the sales brochure

Hi and welcome, virtually impossible / uneconomical to remove all thermal bridges from an existing building but there are many things you can do to minimise the effects of what you are working with. And as it appears you are doing a major refit these can be done much easier while everything is stripped out.

When you look at the documents and legislation it doesn’t say they should make plots available, I was originally under the same impression but after being fobbed off a few times I dug deeper. There are plots available but most are way over priced due to having planning permission for 2,3 or even 4 houses on postage stamp size plots.

Don’t expect anything from the right to build registration, I’ve been on a couple of registers for around 4 years and chased then several times with nothing back except I am registered and occasionally how many planning applications they have approved to cover the number of previous registrations.

+1 to the above, timber used for the extensions does not need to be full height of rafter as the additional overhang and associated loads are minimal

Hi, yes they are the wrong way, made to open outwards. Drain holes in bottom of frame will be draining water inside

I’m thinking they are using the visqueen (other membranes are available) for air tightness and moist air is rising through the plasterboard and being trapped.

The baseball cap is a great idea

The wall hasn’t moved in the last 20 or even 90 years so I wouldn’t worry or even think about it.

Dumpy level is not a theodolite, dumpy is a small automatic level and theodolite is for measuring vertical and horizontal angles/setting out etc. pic here is a dumpy level.

For a few years I rented an apartment in Leeds city centre, entire wall of en-suite was clear glass, very funny when “friends” stayed with me

Who’s land is the wall on? How long has the wall been there? ahh, just seen the pics too .. a new wall on your side cast up against the existing to stop any movement and root penetration.

Morning, many cracks are nothing to worry about but yours appear to show the corner sinking and breaking away. This is definitely a SE job and investigation pits would be an advantage.

Good morning and welcome, I tried answering earlier but couldn’t find the end of the post

You don’t need a laser level at 5-6m2 .. a spirit level on a tamping board is all you need

I agree with @Bonner that’s been added later as a room divider

We buy a lot from RS and they have just introduced the £30 min for free delivery on us. Previously we used the no minimum order value to get components to customers quickly but now we have to send them from here

I really don’t know, I ask myself this question regularly. The heat stops condensation and makes it more comfortable but yes the vapour is still there, dehumidifiers would also generate heat …

The “new improved” soon becomes the norm and people expect more. I grew up in a council house with a coal fire, no central heating and single glazed steel windows … in winter there was often ice on the inside of the windows but we survived. Now anyone not able to keep their central heating on is vulnerable and going to die.

I tried the white 20mm wide draught excluder foam but it turned yellow very quickly, does the job but between white skirts and oak floor I can’t unsee it.

And now it sounds like a biology lesson 😉

Interesting, I have no idea why but it does only occur with softer nylons, cast nylon6 and 66 are not too bad and Delron seems pretty unaffected but these are all engineering materials. The softer general purpose nylon bar and sheet seem to absorb the WD and surface 0.5mm or so swell .
