I wouldn't worry about the 85mm overhang. I'd board tight(ish) to the external, run a bead of no nails or blob at 200mm centres along the joint....
I don't think you need to worry especially as you've removed the existing. Weight wise I'd hazard that what you've removed won't be a million...
@DIYalot if you're a perfectionist I'd be more focused on those battens fixed directly to the existing wall. You are more concerned about what you...
Sorry mate but it begs the question...Why did you leave an 18mm gap when you went through all the effort of using rockwool and 15mm...
I'm assuming your fixing res bar to existing joists? If so fix them perpendicular to said joists with a coarse thread screw. Fix boards to res bar...
With few exceptions boards always go vertical on studs be them metal or timber. Exceptions typically being board type i.e. 'plank' ,stud centres...
You could just get a 2 part resin to fill the holes. The resin will dry hard as 'f*ck'. Harder than any sand or cement mix. Then fix into that. As...
Based on what I see and it possibly being tanked I would avoid fixing through this 'membrane'. I'd suggest just lining it with 50mm stud (as you...
I think I get what you're getting at. You're using a Kingspan/celotex type insulation I'm guessing. Method 1 will work fine. Cut a...
@kevinsmbuk Exactly mate. That's what 'hindsight' is. It's an 'appreciation' of a mistake. A mistake drills home a lesson. 'I won't f'ing do that...

Hmmm... typically if boarding to timber frame or metsec/SFS( structural metal equivalent to structural timber) then the vapour barrier is applied...
I only work on the commercial side and not house building but I assume the practices are the same. It's almost standard practice to create an...
I would advise against dot and dab adhesive as it's simply not intended for that application. You could use a grab adhesive but I would advise...
None of this is surprising unfortunately. The vast majority of tradesmen in construction are self employed. Such as myself. We have very little...
I think by DPM you're referring to Visqueen (or similar plastic sheeting). This is pretty much the done thing nowadays. Either that or Duplex...
I've managed to upload. Hope this is helpful cheers
@sircerebus666 @gasbanni All he said was that the readings were high and that the boiler was 'at risk'. I'm definitely going to get another...
@23vc Just tried to provide an informative answer based on what was presented mate with the idea being it could be beneficial to someone stumbling...
