DIYer in need of some help. One wall of a new large lean-to shed / workshop will not overhang an existing concrete base (other 2 sides do overhang). I had a 2 course engineering brick base laid around the perimeter. The wall face in question will have a roller shutter door but the problem is...

T&G chipboard is already down. Plywood yet to go down.

Planning to fit LVT in two loft conversion rooms - approx 40 sqm. I already have the Karndean feather finish, and 6mm ply sheets. I want to sounds insulate mainly against impact noise. What product should I use (I also ideally want to use up the ply sheets I've already bought)?

Thanks, I've ordered a few replacement heads.

Thanks, that sorted it - kinda. When I put the heads back on (set to max) the rads go cold again. The Thermostats are Myson TRV 2 Way. Looks like they both need replacing.
