It's the external wall of my conservatory. Been dot and dabbed onto lightweight block, insulation and outer brickwork.

This is where it is the worst. Plasterboard is mush and blockwork is damp. Water could be getting in somewhere. What do you reckon?

It's the side wall of the conservatory

It's double skin brick wall. Not sure about cavity insulation. The side of the conservatory.

After some advice please before l proceed. My conservatory has been dot and dabbed straight onto the exterior wall, and skimmed. There are areas which feel damp and the plasterboard has gone quite soft. Should l take it all off back to the brick and seal the brickwork with something, then re...

Like this?

I want to attach rafters/joists to a wall plate but at a sloped angle. The drawing is looking from the side on. Can l just screw through into the wall plate or do l need to use strapping of some sort? Hope that makes sense. Thanks

Solid panel

I want to attach a length of 4x2 along an inside brick wall which has been dot and dabbed plasterboarded too. Which length and size fixing would be best to use. The 4x2 will be having joists attached to it for a small ceiling. Thanks

Yeah l guess that would work. Thanks

I have a double glazed window in my conservatory which l would like to blank out. What insulated product is used to replace the glass panel? Thanks.

It's a bedroom, so can't think of any sources of moisture. Normally have to open the windows to ventilate.

I've just wiped around the reveal which was covered in black mould spores and wet dripping from the top of the reveal. What could be the possible causes??? It's only this window. The bedroom next door which has the window at the front of the house we have no problems with. I've previously...
