Do you have any idea what this diagram will do to my sleep quality over the next 20 years. ?

As belt and braces I rolled some perforated galv sheet:

 

 

...and wrapped around the duct in the "vulnerable" space above the footings:

 

 

(Pre Wiska Gel and before Jet Blue Plus fixed the leak).

And the newts, God, the newts, they'll chew through anything.?

Is that all you need - dont you 'have' to insulate all the way inside the duct ?

 

I ask, because that's my (almost) next job. Before UU comes to make the connection.

Real next job is go down the pub. I've had one o' them days.

That was a newt in @Onoff's diagram! He needs to enroll at art school.

I just left a pub and half a pint still in the glass! Some American IPA I regretted ordering. Prescott Summer Season something...yuk!

 

I think you only need insulate as far down as the "frost line" in my case. With an insulated, passive esque raft...not sure.
