So I would look at this differently and do the lot in EPS buy it in bulk and save a fortune on PIR prices. 

Sell the pir or use it in the roof. 

 

Go to an eps manufacturer dont  buy it from a re seller, they will cut it to any thickness you want so you can tweak your finished floor height. 

 

 

Interesting take on things Russell. I'll definitely enquire with the manufacturer. But as I already have the PIR on site it may be easier to just add the 200mm EPS to the set-up.

 

Still the questions below if anyone has opinions thanks:

 

100mm screed - question... can I use a self levelling liquid screed at this thickness?

150 PIR insulation (already on site)

200 mm EPS insulation

 

Do you think the BCO will have a problem with this? If so why?

100mm EPS70 at 3 sheets to the pack for £42 inc assuming you’re not too far from Birmingham. Ecclestones are a foam converter.

For 225mm go with 3 layers at 75mm as it comes 4 to a pack and you will be easily sorted. 

Great info thanks very much Peter.

This forum is absolutely superb. As I improve I hope to contribute where I can.

Hi guys,

Can I get your opinions on this set-up with insulation in place and DPM and DPC locations?

All good, or any glaring errors.

Thanks very much.
