    Hi All, Newbie Here in midst of extension

    Whilst pondering my next move and between rubbing down skirting and glossing, I battened out above the fire door and fitted more plasterboard. That wall is complete and you may notice the slight gap to the top, this is to allow for a second lot of boarding as per fire rags. I did however...

    Solid surface countertop - how hard to cut & how to cut?

    Ahhhh Big-all I think I understand you now, I'll have a look at the sink to see if there's a recess around the sides.

    Garage Conversion , from Junk to ... ???

    If your putting a loft hatch/access panel in then it's no different to your home I'd believe. It's just how you choose to insulate it In my loft I've fitted 175mm risers and boarded onto these to allow 270mm rockwool As your doing a garage I don't think it's overly important on how much...

    Installing an air brick

    Can't you just drill a couple of holes in the blocks the same size as those in the vented bricks and in the same place you intend to fit them, then see if those holes provide adequate ventilation for your needs. If it does, no need to chop out, if it doesn't A - you know the blocks will/will not...

    Garage Conversion , from Junk to ... ???

    I'm not sure insulating between the rafters is going to do any good unless your going to insulate the rest of the garage. Personally if your not going to use the loft space as storage maybe fill it with a couple of layers of rockwool. If you are using it as stotage, loftboards will do the job...

    Screed on concrete question

    Hi Stavros, I'm not an expert so can't advise you professionally, I'm just going on what I've learnt. Wet UFH I believe has a greater finished depth than electric for sure so removing the screed maybe a far better option to save extra work and prevent your floor being excessively raised. My...

    Screed on concrete question

    What UFH you thinking of, the whole 70m2? Wet I'd assume if so, electric if just smaller rooms maybe. You could insulate it pretty easily leaving the screed in situ. 10mm insulation board, UFH screed or levelling compound (if electric mat) then cover as per your liking but the UFH type may be...
