Ok thanks Tony. So 22mm would be better. I took up the floor to insulate, and for rewiring/plumbing. The joists also had no noggins between and v little support underneath. After all that I don't really want to put chipboard down again - not a big fan of it from the little experience I have...

Hi all, I'm not doing this myself but would like some info for my plumber. New combi boiler and central heating system installation - I would like the downstairs and upstairs radiators to be independently controlled, and the stairway and bathroom radiators to work with both zones. My plumber...
