No freddy its your point to prove.

because again the plasterboard is the protection.....of everything that lays behind it....eg your ceiling joists.

it has been tested : to the standard A2-s1, d0 See https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/building-amendment-regulations-2018-frequently-asked-questions/building-amendment-regulations-2018-frequently-asked-questions

They haven't missed any trick...in the domestic house setting we are only concerned with premature collapse caused by fire which is what plasterboard installed in the proscribed manner delivers or even a coating of intumescent paint if exposed steels are your thing. Premature collapse is when a...

Because its the plasterboard that is fire tested not the structure that its fixed to, how else would we use timber joists to support floors or rafters to support ceilings when covered by plasterboard. The purpose is to provide 30 minutes before collapse, not to prevent collapse...

You could knock down the bit up to the rear wall of the house and turn that into a workshop and put up a timber open sided car port type supported on columns, that way when you drive in you could open the doors so to speak. It depends on what you want the garage for. As far as I remember if its...

we do but its not the issue you seem to have imagined.

You can normally find paving slabs free to a good home in local ads, as its under a shed just dig out gravel, sand blanking and pop the pavers down. All paving slabs are just concrete in a easy to move lump.

as the requirement is for all plasterboard gaps to be filled and fixings to be covered to achieve a 30 minute rating all the points you raise are mute and secondly in any domestic setting its to save a building from premature collapse not to prevent collapse, as 30 minutes is the proscribed time...

well I would you suggest you look a wee bit further for the issue that its facing the US and that's the dollar exchange rate. As its the worlds reserve currency a high exchange rate is generally good for the US on imports and bad for physical exports, for consumers its very very good. For the...

it depends on the weight, for say under 7kg then https://www.toolstation.com/fischer-self-drill-driva-pd100-plasterboard-fixing/p75893 or above : https://www.toolstation.com/gripit-plasterboard-fixings/p13648

Its pretty bright... but if you want brighter and 1500mm length then https://www.toolstation.com/v-tac-ip20-led-super-slim-batten-with-samsung-chip/p34382

For the cost and mucking around you could just replace it with say : https://www.toolstation.com/v-tac-led-batten-cw-tubes-ip20/p33970

No not really, its all about the soil profile, closer to a river channel you tend to get a structured soil profile eg layers of material as its prone to flooding and therefore deposition but away from a the channel you get chaotic soil profiles laid down by large events, eg the end of an ice age...

Make sure that you get an opentherm thermostat that actually works with you choice of boiler, there are many implementations of opentherm. I was stung by worcester bosch who intial advertised a greenstar 8000 as opentherm , then said it was compatible vi a modual that did not exist in the uk...

correct

Seeing as you live close to a river its more than likely a trench fill to get over the water table. The bit of the river you see is not the extent of the river underground, the river channel is the lowest point. Basically its really the only option to build cost effectively in a river.... which...

you need to hose out both sides so it doesn't matter

Personally I have used whatever came to hand, brick acid, spirt, but citric acid does they job and as its used in foods is pretty safe if your are a bit paniky about washing out the exchanger. You really need to just wash out the exchanger with a hose after you have finished. You can buy...

yep
