Any ideas anyone? Thanks!

Hi Hopefully just a quick query - currently insulating our suspended timber floor using flexible insulation supported by netting from below, however wanted to check in regards to where the floor finishes and the conservatory starts, the joist runs parallel to the conservatory floor which...

Thanks, having thought about it a bit more I'll stick some more noggins down the middle, cut boards to widths of 65cm and stagger the joints as suggested. Using additional noggins to help support the additional cut edge I'll have. With the wider widths and noggins hopefully avoiding any...

I'll be cutting them down to finish on the joists running at right angles to the board direction, I have perimeter noggins only as I'm use 12.5 boards with joists at 450cm centers so the long lengths on the side only have additional support at the perimeter but the top/bottom will be secured to...

Hi - looking for some input into best approach for finishing the ceiling boarding in one of my bedrooms, essentially I have a width of about 130cm to board using 120cm wide boards (12.5) and wanted to see what people would usually do: Use two boards cut to a width of 65cm (which is what I...

Thanks both appreciate the help, John - that's how I'd interpreted it - cable is clipped to brick basement walls so it would only touch the insulation on one side for the 140mm depth of the insulation. Therefore I believed it wouldn't be derated as per your table as not surrounded by...

Hi - hoping someone can help put my mind at rest! I'm about to insulate my suspended timber floor for my lounge from below and wanted to check whether I'd have an issue with the cables. I have limited knowledge on the subject from what I've researched but can't quite figure out whether my...

Thanks, thinks that's pretty spot on to what I've got and I'll be looking to do the same, remove the front bricks and then just put frame support and flooring ontop. New picture shows the bricks as being part of the chimney breast downstairs, and then just a gently arch extending out - just...

So bit of an update, carried on clearing the loose rubble that was under the slab, now down to a brick layer, with an interesting brick arch built which presumably goes some way to explain how the weight was being supported. So question is now> a) carrying on going, dig/smash out the brick...
