    My normal wacker would fit in that trench.

    Forgot to say I'm your other thread but hopefully your chippie should know. I leave all the cutouts round stairwell 100mm or so oversize. Cut back at first fix. If sweeping water over these edges and putting ladders up etc it's nice to cut back to a fresh edge when all watertight.

    Stepped invert backdrop for inspiration. Not perfect but has done the job for 18 months without issue. No rest bend just couple of 45s. Was a storm on same level hence stepped invert

    I think going through a noggin is a lot less important than going through a stud. Not sure i'd want a 75mm hole in 89mm CLS

    2 days is fine you're not going to do it in one if complex and nobodies going to kill themselves to earn half a day the next day. I would guess his truss estimate is miles out. Something like that take a Joey and me a week with all the bits and pieces, valley boards fascia soffit etc

    Also depending how complex the layout 2 days is plenty. I can do a pair of semi's in a day with a good labourer

    Just nail the first row to keep it straight. Honestly that glue goes off so quick. If you get any troublesome bits over hangers that aren't sitting flat perhaps screw these while the glues goes off then remove screws later if you wanted

    you mustn't value your time very highly if you digging that by hand. A guy I use would do that as an 'on the way home' job.

    How much is this dulux? The armstead gets better reviews and is about 50 quid for 10l

    Used 15mm on latest place ceilings. Defintley flexes less on the 600 centres but I always used 12.5 with noggins before and never had a problem. Horses for courses

    Allow for tile height you can always make a small ramp internally out of some 4x1 to please building control if you go lvt. Don't want it to tight anyway nice to have a matt behind door

    I read really good things about Armstead durable matt emulsion

    What is the big concern with formaldehyde products I've never really took notice

    Would it be more cost effective to change to a bigger stone for 350mm ish or so with 150mm type 1 topping? Would the coverage per tonne increase so much that it is worth doing? As mentioned above I've used 6f2 before with type 1 topping under a road but with you needing virgin material 2"/3" clean could substitute the 6f2

    Are any of those ic's in a traffic area? I usually bed the bases on a semi dry conc mix.

    Just be aware if widening the cavity you need better ties and different lintels In reality I've seen 5" cavities with 4" ties and lintels but I wouldn't have it on one of mine

    I'm a chippy and I get told off by these rough arse wet trades for being to precise so you're in for a world of pain!
  24. Oz07
    Just google nulok BBA cert or something similar see what it throws up
  25. Oz07
    Your brickies will not be that accurate you're overthinking it. Just stretch the cavity width to max whatever your cavity lintels allow.
