Needed a sanity check, thank you. Rereading the specs, while the foam has that value, the board is a u value of 2.62. Kinda useless then. Nuts. Looks like the floor is coming up

Sorry for flogging a dead horse, however... I have a suspended wood ground floor and will shortly have parquet laid on ply, around 50m2 Underfloor is 4x2 with about 4 inch to the subfloor, so could fit a max of 4inch insulation. I had the idea to insulate and discussed it here after reading...

Paging @JobAndKnock What are your thoughts on the best way to prevent drafts on the perimeter of a suspended floor, that will be overboarded in ply and parquet laid on top? Skirts and architraves are being replaced so full access is avail. There is a definite draft issue now. I've seen you...

Just noodling around having a read. This place https://www.permagard.co.uk/advice/installing-vcl-vapour-control-layer says So to stop warm moist house air condensing. Makes sense. Now thinking about my floor - ply and parquet glued and screwed. Only risk will be around the edges.

I was looking at glasswool (non hygroscopic). Rockwool is hygroscopic, as its cheaper. Wonder what benefit the building paper provides?

If you really need the 10mm, then perhaps the 10mm STS tile backer board https://www.sts-uk.com/tiling-preparation/professional-tile-backing-board , as per @Mr Chibs suggestion Thermal conductivity 0.034 Watt/mK. For comparison, 20mm of celotex is 0.022W/mK. [Edit]...

Planning to insulate suspended ground floor, inspired from threads here. Basically add some netting, whack in loft insulation, dont encapsulate cables, job done, time for a beer. Read this article https://www.eco-home-essentials.co.uk/underfloor-insulation.html Says loft insulation (non...

Does it get wetter after a bath

Is it then DIY, or does it need some form of sign-off from a competent person? Not saying your not competent, however isn't this a different kettle of fish altogether? Workplace safety, water, Chinese kit lashup... Maybe use something with batteries?

Yup totally missed that... Finest chinesium

So they're all fused/can be isolated

I'm no professional, however is this an idea? As planners can be "inconsistent", and local policy does change, do you have the funds / capacity to do the planning for the corner plot now, before any PD activity on the main plot?

Having new floor laid on ground floor and taking the opportunity to install insulation. Just loft rolls stuffed between the joists. I can't use the foam pipe tubes on majority of the central heating as the pipes are too close together. Ffs. I guess I could cut the tubes in half and tape it...

Cedral suggest certified installers install it. They do have a DIY video section https://www.cedral.world/en-gb/cladding/cladding-installation/install-cladding-yourself/?page=1&page_size=6&sort=PublishDate&sort_type=desc

Builders waste. Woodworm waste / frass is like dust, plus you'd see exit holes in the joists. Are the joists / floorboards original? That green looks like pressure treatment? My 20's floors and joists look darker and nore age. The copper piping looks newer.Guessing there's been a rewire at...

Nuke the site from orbit, its the only way to be sure. Vents on opposing walls. Needs a breeze down there. Should the plastic go? What's the ground water level like? Maybe sump and pump if high.

Paging @Keitai . Requesting photos of the finished job and an honest review of how it went. This is obviously some new use of the word "fortunate" I am unaware of. Customer did lose. They paid for his services and materials. He is marketing himself and taking money as a "professional". I do...

The NRG are £261 for a 3 column rad. Same specs otherwise in terms of size, materials etc. NRG look like a reseller. This puts it in the same group as the Plumbworld and Huiyang. Not that this is a criticism of NRG, just flummoxed as it's another choice. Do I save a load of money and go with a...

I think a blunt axe would also get the results kettle delivers for his *paying and unsuspecting clients* So is fair game for ridicule. Perpetuating the stereotype of dodgy "Bill Durrs" ...
