Hello guys, I'm after the strongest waterproof tape for taping insulation board in a cavity. I ran into some problems with BCO over my pug content in the air space between foil and outter skin on a DIY extension I'm doing. I had to take some blocks & insulation out to clear the pug now...

Hello guys, Need to get some foil tape to finish up before calling BC back out again. Anyone used this stuff http://www.toolstation.com/shop/Adhesives+Sealants/Tapes/Aluminium+Foil+Tape+50mm+x+45m/d180/sd2420/p97723 Thanks J

Thats exactly what I just thought! Will give it a go.

Unfortunatly its touching the outter skin and BCO will be seeing it, need to make good and do my best to get the okay from him J

Hello guys, I've torn some of the foil on some kingspan and need to glue it back down. Access isn't easy so something I can apply with a brush on a pole is ideally required. Can anyone recommend something suitable? Thanks James

Thanks for the advice guys. Back at work today, will tackle next weekend and try and get the BCO out next week. Wish me luck! J

Something I hadn't thought about actually using a jet washer. To be honest, it's my own fault for leaving the obvious cavity around the window with pug visible. The inspector then wanted to look in the gable. Lesson learned, it's just how hard I end up learning it J

hello oldun, is that problems because I cut into the insulation? thanks J

I have got a large metal thin strip that i have been using to knock them all down. I've opened the block at the bottom to remove the crap. the DPC is onne block / three bricks high at the request of BC originally. he said he will want to use a mirror or something to check clear

hello woody the board is currently flat against the block its the fact the morter from the brick work is touching the foil of the insulation and the wall ties j

Hello guys, Just had building control round to take a look at the roof structure. It's the first time they've been round since going up with the brick and block. I've used 75mm cavity, 40mm celotex. The building control guy looked down the cavity and could see cement cement in areas...

Thank you for your response. I've done that on the wall plate end, I'm refering to the high end that buts against the plate I've bolted to the wall. Thanks in advance James

Hello guys, I'm after a little bit of advise and please excuse my ignorance. How do you go about securing roof rafters to ridge plate which is chemi fixed to the wall on a lean to roof for a single story extension? I've cut and spiked the roof rafters to the ridge plate as a temporary...

Hello guys, Looking to create a wet room in a currently being built extention. Three out of the four walls are block and one wall is aqua panel. The floor is also concrete. Is a tanking system required for such a setup? Can anyone make a recommendation for such a system if required...

Right, I'll have another go :) I'm buiding a 1st floor extension with a lean to roof. Part fill king span insulation in the cavity. I'm now up to the ceiling height with brick and block all the way round. As the loft insulation will be be at the ceiling height, does the cavity fill need...

is that a good or a bad thing? lol

Hello guys, I've bought a pack of these Through Bolt 12 x 180 mm Not sure if it looks quite suitable :s James
