Not a fan of Yorkshire Tea here either, my tea of choice is Twinings English Breakfast but it's so rarely on offer nowadays I can't justify it, especially as my eldest drinks about 5 cups a day. So Sanisburys Taste The Difference English Breakfast for us. As for coffee I'm happy to drink the...

Sounds pretty normal to me. Suspended concrete floors bounce if you jump on them.

AFAIK it's the 4 year rule. Not the 10 year rule. In anycase you are beyond the 10 year period anyway.

Why does it matter if it was built 13 years ago? It's well beyond the time frame by which any planning enforcement can be applied.

Strictly speaking they should be relocated however IME Building Control will allow them to remain in place.

Yes as above, unless you have really good history/evidence of what's been done you probably need to budget for a really good system update. So the house has a basement? Have you checked what parts of the building are in the listing?

Each one has to hang 3kg, absolutely no problem here. And I would'nt be surprised if there were two layers of plasterdboard.

Don't get too hung up on the terminology, the closer ought to be fire rated, used to be the case that a bit of slate or steel plate would do, they're probably still accepted. The condensation or cavity bridging issue is of no concern, besides the kind of closer mentioned is typically a bit of...

The PIR stops and the closer is the whole width of the cavity.

Can't you lean one way or the other?

Agreed, you might get some kid of refund but on a hiding top nothing to think you'll get anything else. See how it fares and if you can't live with it cut your losses and re-do it.

More important is seeing for yourself as to whether the work was done OK (if you can), if the rafters are adequately supported as are the window heads then jobs a good'un. When was the work done? Got any photos? Speak to the owner. Bear in mind the usual surveyors get out clauses and hiding...

Ask him why. Fibreglass is OK provided he knows what he's doing. EPDM is far more forgiving. There's a mahoosive thread on here somewhere with people complaining about their roofs expanding (and making cracking noises) in the heat, I recall it's generally to do with enough fixings of the board...

You won't know what they'll want until you ask, they might tell you over the phone but then no guarantee you'll get the same inspector when you put the Notice it. In modern houses they typically carry on the strip under the garage door anyway as it makes building the footings easier.

Just from a random supplier https://stairfurb.co.uk/product-category/glass/ No idea what they're like.

The thickness ought to be determined by the supplier. Wouldn't you just do this:

Silicone everywhere for me, it won't look out of place provided the colour is right and it's done neatly. I would question why wouldn't you seal between the floor and the walls/pan on a floor that's likely to get wet.

Just looks like you could replace with like for like plywood.

Why?
