Haha, I am unsure of the exact size of the area I can't get in there to measure. It is basically lift space that I can see inside but it's too difficult to measure. Is there no blown fibres or could I use the Polly balls used in cavities?

I had thought of removing sections of the room and have a friend pass the insulation so that I can ptu it between the rafters. I would prefer not to use this method, is there no option to use blown insulation?

I need to insulate an area which is almost impossible to reach apart from a small gap of around 30x30cm. I had though of a blown in foam solution or similar, any advice? Thanks

Hi cjard, I won't be able to break off a section as it is newly rendered with no waste on site. Any other solution? Thanks

Hi, It's been very hot here (20 degrees plus for around two weeks). It's 15mm, so would you say 22 days would usually suffice? Is there any way to check that it is dry? Thanks

Hi All, I've had fresh render (cement, sand), how long do I need to wait before painting as a minimum. I keep getting conflicting information. I am going to be using xtreme xposure sandtex. Kind Regards

Hi Woody, It is just before the boundary which means their land will remain the same and no access will be needed. We'll be excavating downwards to hit solid ground, but again it won't touch their land.

Hi Woody, The foundations have been designed by a Chartered structural engineer, would that suffice? Thanks Owen

Hi, I have removed hedges from my garden and plan to place a retaining wall in their place and backfill with fencing on top. Do I need to inform the neighbours with the party wall act notice? It will be on my own boundary and the wall itself will not be visible to the neighbour once complete...

Hi John, It's a rather large dorma and to be honest I'd like to give it a go myself if possible. Thanks again Owen

The tiles are new, I've only just discovered the cavities are empty. Why is it not possible to use blown insulation? Regards Owen

Hi, It is plaster board and then tiled. Thanks Owen

Thanks for that, as I want to do it myself do you know of the machine I will need and where I could get it /hire it from. Also can I purchase the blown insulation directly? Thanks Owen

It would need to be blown in through 20mm holes. Do you have a link and if possible the name of a system that can be used to blow them in?

The cavity on my dormas empty, so I decided to add insulation over the top. I've however had a change of heart and wish to also fill the cavity as well as insulate on the outer layer of the cavity and re clad. What can I use to inject into the cavity? I had thought of expandable foam but surely...
