    Retro fitting external insulation on garden room

    Is the acoustic roll you're proposing suitable or will it deform? Seems like an odd choice of insulation. In any case the breather membrane goes on the outside of the insulation behind the battens.

    Retro fitting external insulation on garden room

    How would you use Rockwool without any timber studs? If you want to avoid studs then you'd have to go the rigid insulation route, you still need a breather membrane and for the cost it would be daft not to, vertical battens & horizontal cladding presumably?

    Protecting these pipes?

    Yes but given their unconventional runs unlike the perfect vertical pipes you always see these things fixed to you'll have to get a little inventive/maybe get the angle grinder out if you want to get 100% protection eg...

    Glow Plug light illuminated.

    It passed every year, that said it was around a decade ago now, I don't know if the rules have changed. AFAIK only red warning lights or lights that could indicate a problem with the emissions or safety will fail. But I would give your MOT station a ring and ask if it's an automatic fail or not.

    Single Ply Roof Blisters

    The blisters, whilst unsightly are probably fine providing the membrane is intact. Probably a result of moisture left in the roof beforehand or poor adhesion.

    Hide Speaker Cable from Speaker to Floor

    At the end of the day, the speakers (unless the speakers were Bluetooth and battery powered (which would be madness for SS)) need a cable.

    Glow Plug light illuminated.

    The glow plug was permanently illuminated on my Megane back in the day, Renault said it was a faulty wiring loom so I lived with it permanently.

    Hide Speaker Cable from Speaker to Floor

    Come on foxhole, please try to communicate how one can avoid having to hide a power supply cable of a speaker that requires a power supply cable in order to power it's Bluetooth receiver.

    Hide Speaker Cable from Speaker to Floor

    Do surround sound speakers connected via bluetooth not need power then?

    Hide Speaker Cable from Speaker to Floor

    You would still need to provide a power cable to each speaker. TBH I don't really understand the whole cable at the corner issue, can't the cables just run under the carpet?

    'No dig' fence issues?

    So you bang a metal stake in the ground between each (70cm) panel and the stake goes in about 20cm, linking the panels together. Yep that's never gonna be really rigid. That said if it's purely cosmetic and there were a few returns it would probably stay upright. But you could never lean on it...

    Associated building/electrical works costs for type C tanking

    £6-10K is my guess! Presumably - Excavate core hole for necessary discharge pipework (no idea what this actually means) means your builder needs to provide a means (or route) for the sump pump pipe to be able to reach and drain into the mains sewer somewhere, we have no idea on the forum how...
