Best idea would be to remove the plaster or you may get mould growth / detritius falling behind the insulation. Matt paint is best for breathability. Radiators do help providing the heat will stay in the conservatory. Condensation can be removed by using a mechnical extractor fan if you...

Air will get it into the space behind the insulation through positive airflow. This is accelerated by vents. I advise you use vents and my way will help increase space, you are putting a vapour barrier before which enables moisture to stay back and exhaust out not in.

No you don't need a gap if you add vents. Use a vent at the top and bottom of the plasterboard to encourage airflow. For added protection weep vents can be fitted outside. Venting the ridge can also help if accessible.

Yes near the boundary

There is an existing wall which is the neighbours which I wish to raise by two courses.

Thanks, Ill get an Electrician in to sort it out

Home-Owner Garden Size 3X3mtrs I want to use it for lawnmower and power tools

Sorry im new to this. I want to ideally have 2 double plugs and a single tube light fitting. Would it be worth fitting a CU in the shed? Distance from house 2 mtr Distance from Current CU 5 mtrs.

I'd rather do it in brick too. Thanks for the info Andy

Trouble is I don't have much space to play with, about 2mtr x 2mtrs max that's including building onto the neighbours side

I'm sure its not a shared party wall as it is built onto his side and his render extends onto my side of the brick wall. The owner has no objections. I like the frame idea. Could I use an angle iron on the brick wall and build a small 3 course wall onto of that? I want to ideally make...

Does Party Wall conform to garden walls?

Thanks just what I needed,

Hi Tim, I've experienced the same problem before. 1.Remove all plaster back to brick 2. Apply Vapour Barrier to the wall. 3. Screw some treated battens to the wall 4. Insert Kingspan / Celotex or if budget is tight polystyrene 5. Board over with moisture resistant plasterboard (if...

I'd say cut it up and use the metal in something else! Or scrap although its like 8p a kg

What is the max permissible for an outbuilding height?

:? Got a small outbuilding need electric in there, any ideas of what or how to do it? thanks?

:? I have a brick wall which belongs to the neighbour, but I would like to increase the height slightly so I can put up a corrugated sheet and create a small shed. How do I go about increasing the height of my neighbours wall? I have little room to build in my yard so it would be feasible...

As to regulations, I remember there must be at least of 15cm or more overhang on each side of the rsj. Also I have noticed there is NO padstone under it, this is potentially dangerous. I'd reccomend to put a padstone under each side, for safety and stability of the rsj and above. Also did they...
