Thanks for info man, appreciate it

Thanks for the reply, this is what I’ve read is ideal but I don’t have the space, only approx 25mm to work with. In your opinion, would pu adhered15mm soundboard replacing the blown plaster give no better benefit than the existing blown plaster? Thanks

That was my thought, that the foam would act like a decoupling. I still expect to hear sound but would like it to be less than it is now, otherwise I’ll likely leave the blown lime

Due to cornicing I cannot fit a full sound proof solution on terrace party wall. The wall is 9m high with no joining joists or voids btw. So of my options which will give best soundproofing? Leave existing blown 20mm lime plaster. Strip to brick and pu foam bond Siniat soundboard. Strip to...

Great thanks man for all your help!

Thanks for your reply man! Do you think I could attach everything to the underside of the metal sink as there is already an earth attach to that?

Hey guys, I'm replacing kitchen tap and the earth bonding wires are connected to the tap tails which will be replaced with the flexi hose of the new tap, so what should I now connect the bonding wires to as all the remaining pipes are plastic? I've attached a pic of what im talking about. From...

Thanks so much man, that's really helped a lot!

HI noseall, not sure if you saw my comment but I have a question about the image you posted if you have time to answer. The black uprights in the pic, they're attached to the back of the wall, not concreted in to the ground? Are they wood are steel? And I'm guessing you've had no issues with...

Oh really? sorry I couldn't tell from the pictures. Can you tell me more about it? So the black uprights at the back, they're attached to the back of the wall, not concreted in to the ground? Are they wood are steel? And I'm guessing you've had no issues with wind load?

No not really. Like I said the wall is 1.4m high and the frame is attached to the wall, not concreted in the ground, hence my starting this thread about wind load on a frame protruding 0.6m above the wall its attached too.

Back garden, ginnel view I should say and yeah planning is fine. The wall is rendered on the exterior, connected to the house so a fence will be more visually pleasing than a climber.

yeh tanalised and spaced of the wall with a washer. I’m only worried about the 0.6m above the wall for wind load that’s why I thought the separate structure would act as a wind break for the living wall. But do you think I even need it for 60cm if height. Could I get away with just battening...

Hey guys, I'm planning to attach a living wall structure to an existing brick wall and would like to check that I'm not overlooking anything. I've attached a rough diagram of what I'm thinking. the wall is structurally sound, double skin, 1.4m high, 10m long. The living wall will be made of...

I never thought to do this but it makes a lot of sense, although the top of the roof is perfectly flat with no variation, almost like this one joist is thicker in the middle. Is it common to have slight unevenness on the underside or is it just shoddy workmanship/ subpar timbers?
