Hi all I have a garage roof which I believe has a asbestos roof. I am wanting to turn it in a games room. Which I intended to stud out and board, using correct material. My question is would Ineed to rremove the asbestos via a contractor or could I maybe leave the roof undisturbed and carry...

I suppose using celotex would even itself out. Celotex more expensive but can get away with normal board or get foil back board and use cheaper insulation. Many thanks

Absolutely. I reckon celotex would be the better out of the listed. If I was to use celotex would that mean I wouldn't really need to use foil backed plasterboard?

Hi for insulation purposes would it matter if I was to use either cavity slab insulation or the normal insulation you put in the loft to insulate the walls?

Ok great. Thanks for your advice.

Brill, is there certain stuff you need for the joints? Yeh I've going to put in ply where stuff will be wall mounted. Thanks

Thanks. I was gonna do 100mm, and the walls are bone dry. I was going to use foil backed plasterboard. Would that take care of the vapour barrier or would a membrane on the wall be needed? I will leave a inch gap between wall and stud work.

Hi all I'm planning to turn my garage into a games room, the garage walls are single skin brick. I intend too stud the inside either 50mm or 100mm, when striking the stud work is it best to put the batons against the wall or leave a little gap? Thanks :-) [/img]

Thank you. The space is about 5M x 3.2M so can do 100mm thick walls, didn't intend to go by regs as such but wanted to do the next best thing. Was also putting celotex in ceiling too.

Hi just a bit of advice. I'm looking to convert my garage into a games room, the garage wall is single brick width, I intend to stud the walls and insulate with celotex, my question is does it have to be 100mm celotex or 50mm. I know the thicker the better but can you get away with 50mm? Thanks

That's a very tidy job. I've gone for edging which isn't too high and I've found some rubber chippings from re-bound, they were the cheapest place. It's the delivery price that bumps it up, otherwise a pretty decent price.

Hi Is there any thing you could use on bark chippings to stop cats pooping on? I'm looking to do a little play area which consists of a trampoline and a swing, I've looked at bark chips and lots have said this occurs, I have also looked at rubber chips but is ten times more expensive. Just...

Hi does anyone know if you can buy rubber chippings in stores like b and q, home base, screw fix etc. thanks

Hi I am just enquiring if there is any other material you could possibly use for a T moulding threshold? I have a tiled floor and a laminate floor and need a threshold to put in between the 2 floors, trouble is the length is 2.5m and I can't find ones that are that size. Thanks

I was planning to turning a strip of my garden into a play area which would consist of a trampoline and swing and poss a few other bits, at the moment it's grass and a pain to cut, I was thing of bark chippings but didn't want cats to use it as a toilet is there any thing else I could possibly...

Thanks I'm using the water for plants and jet washing patio, would it most likely stink after a while at all?

Hi I've just put in a water butt off the down pipe (the only down pipe I could really connect too), the only problem is that the bath waste comes through this down pipe, is it ok too leave it or would/should I really run a separate pipe off the guttering? Thanks

Not too sure, just annoying weeds. Ok thanks I'll try that.

Yeh thanks for that, I have done so yet more come back. Hence the reason for a decent weed killer.

Hi can anyone recommend a decent weed killer that you can buy from home base, b and q, etc. every weed killer I use doesn't really do the job and get rid as they keep growing back. Thanks :lol:
