Any advice on above much appreciated. And I've seen a few builders start with the floating floor first then the stud work into the floating floor. This doesn't make much sense to me, but should I be doing the floating floor first? Thanks This is the way I was planning but could be totally wrong...

So I think I finally have a plan for insulating my walls, ceiling and floor. Had to make my own U Value calculator as all these online ones suck. I plan on using 75mm of RW3 rockwool in the walls and ceiling, with insulated plasterboard to prevent any cold bridging + Green Glue + Another layer...

Just worked out the space I'll lose if I were to insulate my walls to the 0.18 u value required. Almost 25%... Hopefully they'll be fine with me only losing 16% Building Regs Doc L says "3. If meeting such a standard would reduce the internal floor area of the room bounded by the wall by more...

Here's my U values for wall/floor/ceiling. I'm hoping that as my ceiling and floor is better than minium required I can offset the amount I require on the walls, will have to speak to local auth. My plan for the floor is floating floor, DPM + 100m celotex on top with some T&G boarding. The plan...

I'm trying to understand these u values stuff, all the online calculators I've seen I can't seem to get on with. Does this look correct? I'm not including stud works, DPM, vapour etc in this I'm hoping this would satisfy building regs. 50mm of rockwool in the studs + 52.5mm insulated...

How should I be doing the roof? Cold roof or warm roof? I'm more inclined to do a cold roof, tho I'm not 100% sure if this is the best idea? I'd also like to install a loft hatch for storage

Just drove past, externally the width is 2.72m, internally 2.5m. I believe this is indeed single skin brick?

Yes I'm thinking double thickness I believe, I'm going to drive pass and take a few photos and measure external width

No, I'm thinking this could be solid brick instead of single skin, although I cannot confirm.

I could be totally wrong, and this garage isn't single skin brick, this is a house I've bought and in the process of moving into, hopefully in 2 weeks. However, I assumed it was single skin without checking, stupid of me but whatever. But based on the images I have, I've worked out the outside...

Something like this perhaps if this is correct?

Honestly I think 100mm Brick 50mm air gap DPM 50mm rockwool in 50mm studs Vapour barrier 20mm insulated Plasterboard Green Glue Soundblock Plasterboard Could be the best of both worlds?

Yes I will be doing stud wall 50mm from the brick, if that air gap is required. Which I think it is with single skin brick.

Thanks for the help so far. So my current plan is 100mm Brick 50mm air gap DPM 75mm rockwool Vapour barrier Plasterboard Green Glue Plasterboard Air gap, DPM, and vapour barrier I assume are needed in this case? Do you think 75mm of rockwool will be enough to be comfy, this is an office/home...

I've forgotten the airgap in these actually
