What about if the slab is lower than the dpc?

Thanks, it doesn't seem to be an exact science does it. I reckon I'll start insulation 100mm lower than internal floor level that way there's an overlap with the underfloor insulation. And that should leave about 1500mm clearance from the foundations for any water.

The insulation is Dritherm which is a woolly type. It says it's water proof but I can't imagine it sits on the foundations or a lean mix infill should there be one. If that's the case does anyone know there's a minimum clearance please?

Yeah, might have to bite the bullet and geta ps5 second hand. All his friends have them which is annoying.

So while trying to disassemble it to clean dust there was a connector that was stubborn. I cleverly pulled it and both sides of the connector came away. . I'll add photos. Is there anything can be done? He's very sad. The connector is the white thing. The little green square below is where it...

As in 100mm? Not 440mm with an l shape pad -on the outside skin.

Ok, sounds like a few inches longer beam would be a good idea. Thanks.

Yes I've been looking at prices for them. Was wondering if the beam should or shouldn't have a longer bearing on the pad?

Yes. Thanks

Like it. Ta

Hello. I'm talking about 25mm to 22mm. I've found a stop tap made by hep that does it but it seems to be very rare and most places don't seem to sell it. Any suggestions?

I'm guessing that's a piece welded to the beam and not a mold?

I agree about moving the wall. Think the steel being on the very edge is a bit weird though I can only think of throwing mortar in there.

Yes full plans but the the engineer is a piece of work. If I have to I'll move the wall in, 8 inches seems the norm I suppose?

He only specified the beams and padstones as 440 size. He doesn't seem to give a lot of detail on anything. He knows it's flush across though
