I suppose so, but have never seen it done I would personally skip that bit. In fact my lay up would be ; joists furring pieces sub deck all fixed to joists VCL insulation top deck, fixed through insulation to sub deck roof covering if you are really concerned that you have pierced the VCL to...

yep no problem. take it down next day

whatever you do it's going to look a bit strange. should have plastered the ceiling in tight to the stonework

Exactly and the reasons for this are the level of responsibility they have to both parties in the deal, caveat emptor doesn't really exist in the same context in a commercial deal the surveyor is ultimately responsible and must be able to back his findings up with professional indemnity. In a...

It all sounds good but realise you need to make sure you keep your end of the bargain. I've done a few labour only jobs in the past to try and help people on tight budgets out, because as you say it works out cheaper and in theory takes some of the pressure off me too. But in all honesty I don't...

you are basically coming to understand the uselessness of most of these surveys, they are always so ambiguous , non committal and full of get out clauses.

They won't but I also bet the labour won't come I at £9000 either. Who sorts out all those bits and pieces you need for the job that are unaccountable, where you just have to pop off to the merchants who's supplying fixings and sundry iron work etc. Who is doing your electrics, plumbing...

yep the circulation and flow is totally pants. You are trying to squeeze too much in. Houses either need to be open plan or else have circulation space. By cutting back on the size and maybe even the compartmentalising of all these rooms, you could create some circulation space (a hallway) on...

Oh but it is. there can't be unfair terms in a contract, for example terms that are impossible to comply with or which in future it might be impossible not to break or might breach any statutory rights you may have.

if you want, but there's also no need to either

This is your best bet if you only want one lot of OSB and want to insulate it.

Again as others have asked, what type of survey did you pay for, unless a full structural survey, then the surveyor won't go moving furniture or possessions, lifting carpets etc and as such, just like you probably couldn't see the base of the piers. You need to go back and check your contract...

Yep that's the stuff I've never primed always just sanded to 150 grit, they say just two coats, but I'm sure I read somewhere on their own tech sheets that the alternative is to just use three coats I have found it OK to give three if the first coat really gets eaten up . I always denib with 400...

3 doors in one bathroom would drive me nuts, 2 is bad enough. I agree if that was my house they would have to go. they're pointless only one room can use the bathroom at once I would rather have the usable space in the bathrooms and bedrooms.

to be fair that's std surveyor speak, never over or under state anything, he hasn't lied and it's not a full structural survey so not really his remit to assess the possible structural effects. I would very much doubt if that pier alone would affect the integrity of a reinforced slab above...

yeah just carry on drilling your hole fit your ducting and fill the other one in.

probably be OK I have never used it though. I pretty much use Bona exclusively now, goes on quick re coat in 4 hours, walkable next morning full traffic in 24 hours a gallon is around 70 quid but in the grand scheme of things its nothing really, a gallon goes a long way. Looked after it will...

it's a suspended floor if you jump up and down there will be some movement, but to all intents and purposes that's not where your movement will come from. It's your floor over insulation that gives the flex. I reckon that floor is decent enough to just ditch the SLC and do as you suggest from...

yeah 80 grit is may be a bit over the top just noticed it's only 13 years old, zinsser wont cover any better than undercoat. I just don't get the obsession with reaching straight for the Zinsser, don't get me wrong it is great stuff for problem substrates and I do use it, but its not always...

seems there are some products that will probably work for you superlite being one and some of their range works down to 10 degrees. sounds like doubling up your rafters may work.
