Cheers guys spoke to a lad today and I got this advice from him Dig out the boundry about 2ft wide x 2ft deep and lay 1ft concrete foundation. Then lay a course of blocks with DPC to ground level. Add a second layer of DPC and continue to build up @ 5 block heights max per day. As the...

The construction would be 440x215 Dense Block, it will be plasterboarded internally and rough casted externally. The roof will be 16x10 Spanish slates with Zinc Ridges Trusses I would be expecting to use 8x2s The office will consist of printers, computers, telephones & desks, nothing...

Hiya guys I'm looking at replacing my current metal shed (office) with a new Breeze Block office, 3.5m x 3.0 I have worked it out to be roughly 300 blocks needed, 1.8 to eaves and 2.2m to ridge? What I'm wondering is the founds.. Do I need anything seriously heavy? Would 2 / 3" thick...

That makes sense actually coz if I put the heater on in the shed, the droplets are bigger and more frequent. So how's out I install 2 vents in the apex frame and expose the holes in the ridge again this should create a constant fresh air source and extraction off warm air, install a vapour...

Perfect, will get started next weekend. Cheers for your help

Yeah that sounds good enough for now. If I take the roof off, install polythene from ridge to gutter, put roof back on. Insulate the inside roof and plyboard, that should make a big difference, and if it does still condensate then the drips should run down the poly into the gutter?

Yeah I do agree that a brick building or timber building would have been alot better, but now the shed it kitted out etc and all landscaping outside is done ripping it down isn't going to be an option for a few years yet. I still think replacing the metal roof with osb or ply and felt will be...

So there is no core at the end of the day? Leaving door open isn't an option obviously for security issues at the least. How about that spray on foam insulation ,or foil bubble wrap, heard someone on here used that on a metal roof

Its one of them 8x8 or 10x10, now your being fussy :-D

I have left a few openings at the ridge to allow for air flow, should maybe install some floor vents too I got it cheap :D 10m x 10m shed for £200 didn't think I could go wrong. Guess you learn from your mistakes :p

Ha sorry for the text speech, habbit I guess. Now I'm trying my hardest not to right lol or anything Anyway.. Roofer yes but new to this one.. Have installed vents etc many times before but never saw a roof as damp as this one. It is a slated roof, currently no insulation at all...

Yeah I get what your saying but will try the osb boards and felt and just do away with the metal roof

In all fairness there must be something as money people have these sheds. Also alot of industrial units are made of the same without any issues. Even thought of replacing the roof with osb and felting or take the metal of the roof and installing breathable felt membrane and putting it back down

Proper m8 its an 1787 stone built building

Lol not really an option. I have built a timber frame for the walls and lined with wool insulation and plasterboard, the floor is timber and raised 2ft of the ground with a dpc barrier. Only issue with condensation is on the roof. If i thought a 50mm gap between the sheet and roof and then...

Any idea of a cheap cure?

Hi Guys I have bought a metal shed (shedmaster 8mx8m) using it as a small office area. I have sealed up all gaps to prevent draughts and used expanding foam. I have stuck on Polystyrene sheets inbetween the metal rafters yet the condensation is still there. If I lowered the polystyrene...

anyone?

Hi guys Looking for advice. Converting my attic (Slated roof) Currently have condensation dripping of the slate nails from inside the attic, quite bad on the valley roof that doesnt get any sunshine, ever. if I install slate vents near the bottom and vented zinc ridges, install some...
