Evening. Take a look at the catnic website, it will give you the correct beam for the job. If you have an old house it may be a solid wall so you need a beam/beams which will support the whole width. If it is a newer house you will have two walls held together by wall ties, so you will need a...

Hi, if building regs are involved go to the celotex insulation calculator. I am studworking an old vicarage with 500mm thick stone walls and to obtain 0.30 I need 50mm in between th studs with 25mm across the whole.

Can anyone help with a reasonable priced supplier of either marble, welsh slate or granite. I want to replace all the internal window sills and worktops in this old rectory I am renovating. The sites I am looking at want loads of cash and I am on a tight budget. Thanks

Does anyone come from south wales and know what material is used to backfill around the pipe for a soakaway. In sussex I use 40mm beach, but here I am not able to get beach ? only 10mm pea beach.

Thanks for your comments on solid walls. I have a property which was built around 1900 which has solid walls but not as thick as this new property. The builders back then built a false wall on the inside. they used untreated timber and there is no rot to this day although the brick work is damp...

Thanks. I intend to remove the floorboards from the first floor and use them on the ground floor polished up, beautiful 1920s tiling at moment but oh so cold and damp. I would like to use more celotex over walls, the house is old and cold. I will look at the product you mentioned. Good idea with...

the walls have penetrating wet from all sides top to bottom. I want to allow the walls to breath. By painting the outside I am stopping the water from going into the walls but what is in there needs to go somewhere. It will take many years for the walls to dry out. They need air flow to do this...

I have a property with solid stone walls. It was built in the 1920s. The damp is coming up through the solid floors and through the walls. My solution is to take up the floors and replace with wooden floors using 100mm celotex under. The new joists will be on new concrete walls not touching the...
