Aye a couple were still sagging after lime and lath removed. Ended up screwing with M8 80mm coach screws and glueing with gripfill (construction adhesive) 75mm x 38mm x 2.4 and then 100mm x 38mm for the ends as 30/35mm was too close to centre line for me. Was a random bit were the chimney was...

Yeah agreed, apologies don't have any on my phone at the moment. Room is 3m by 2.3m joists running the 3m length with no noggins. Ceiling is sagging 35mm at worst point, not all are that low. Looking more at it and think coach screws would be better than what i was originally using. M8 by 70...

Hello. 2 storey 1920 mid terrace and the bedroom ceiling upstairs was lime and lath was mostly loose so pulled it down and joists are sagging in spots and out of level in general. The joists are 3x1.5 approx and the room is 3m x 2.3m with joists running the 3m length. They have sagged in the...

Perfect One last one. Since injected dpc has been done, damp fellas said plasterer shouldn't go below the holes as below will be the damp line (if water does rise) which makes sense. I'd assume same principle for the insulation? Or since it's foil back can go below the injection holes? Best...

So to clarify the process would be. Plasterboard glue and mechanical fixings for PIR to the brick walls. Foil tape cut ends to ensure tight fit. I'd also assume water down PVA to clear the duct for the bricks. Then for the plasterboard to the pir just glue? Or glue PIR to wall then use glue and...

Cheers. For the window revales should I get thinner insulation or will that lose be negligible? Aye thought direct would be better option
