Hi everybody,
I am looking to convert my attached single garage into a dining room. The property already has planning permission as it was a 2 floor extension so the foundations will be ok to take the weight of the bricked up door. There is a bedroom directly above so presume ceiling will be ok as it is. The walls are all breeze/brick cavity. What, in terms of insulation would be needed for the walls? Also, i intend to install a suspended timber floor and would like to know requirements regarding joist size, spacing, height from floor and DPC. I appreciate that building regs will apply but want to get a feel for whats involved and potential cost.
Many thanks in advance,
Gary.
