Hi All
Can anyone
please advise on the following.
I have just started converting my garage into an extra bedroom & utility room. My house is of a timber frame design and is semi - detached. My garage is next to my neighbours and is constructed in the following way
a) Half inch plasterboard fixed to 100mm x 50mm timber frame.
b) The timber frame is filled with 100mm rockwool
c) Sterling board has been fixed to the back of the frame covered with building paper
d)A 50mm air gap exists, then 100mm breeze block separates all of the house.
f) The exact same construction after the breeze block repeats its self on the neighbours side ie 50mm air gap 100mmX 50 mm frame rockwool etc.
The problem is that I am being told to fix extra sheet's of plasterboard to cover the wall before the council will grant me my building warrent. I feel this is unnecessary and will reduce the width of my room. Any views would be useful in my struggle to win.
