Thanks. What would your solution be?

Understood thanks. The only thing I'm not quite sure with this method is securing the PIR boards to what a slightly uneven old stone wall....not brick or breeze block.

So you think insulated plasterboard is needed to? wouldnt the vapour sheeting deal with the condensation?

Thanks mate. I think I have missunderstood somthing in my research. I though that I would need the kingspan and the insulated plasterboard..... but since your the second person in 5 minutes to question it....im now thinking its over the top! Would you just batton, fill with kingspan and then...

Ill be honest....I did wonder if it was overkill. Would you just 100m kingspan and then standard plasterboard? The ceiling is lofted (former barn), but thankfully has alread had velux put in and been insulated by the previous owners. It was a bit of a hobby/games room, but bare brice and...

Im just in the process of planning and getting to order materials to insulate and get an outbuilding ready to plaster. Id be interested to hear if you guys think my calculations are sounding about right. The area is around 10m x 4m, and below is my shopping list for the...

Thanks. The gas meter is actually in the outbuilding which supplies the house.

I'm looking to add a small 24Kw combi boiler into an outbuilding. It will be heating 4 (possibly 5) radiators, total room size being 11m x 4m. In the future I might add a small shower cubicle and sink, so would like it to supply hot water. Can any suggest a cheap and small combi boiler that...

Nope....thank you....what a fix!

We just moved into a new house, and have a hja5100 double oven, which is duel fuel. Gas hobs, electric ovens. The left right hand oven, warmer and lights all work. The left hand fan oven and the grill won't heat. The light indicators also don't light for them. To a layman I'd say there must...

We are about to move into a new home, and will be undertaking a project to create 2 new rooms, in what was formery a barn. We are going to put a lot of time and expense into insulation, but I had a question about radiators. The building is not attached to the main house. However, it is only...

Just about to move into our new home which has an outbuilding ill be kitting out as a games/cinema room. the main room in the outbuilding will be around 16 SqM Im going to need to install some heating, but I have a bit of a quanry; The building is close to the house, only seperated by a...

Cheers. to be honest with the floor, its as much about having space to thread a shed load of network and speaker cables that im wanting to batten it. so you wouldnt use breathable polly sheeting at all?

We have an outbuilding at our new house which I'm looking to convert to a games/cinema room. It's around 5.5m x 4m. It was an old barn, but the current owners have had a new roof and plastered/whitewashed the walls. However, to mak it a proper usable living space its going to need properly...

I've spoken with the designer and hes been keen to show me some of his work; http://www.netgains.org/images/portfolios/Exploded-Assembly-268.jpg http://www.netgains.org/images/portfolios/Drafting-FP-2-263.jpg http://www.netgains.org/images/portfolios/Oasis-165.jpg...

Thanks for the advice so far guys. In terms of planning, I'm on with that one. Don't think it is going to be an issue....but obviously going to have to be careful ith the height. I'm currently thinking timber frame....around 3.5m x 2.5m I like the idea of finding some reclaimed materials...

Pretty would be ideal. If I wanted convention I would probably go for something like this; http://www.lugarde-garden-buildings.co.uk/prima-noella.html

This is my first post on the forum, so hello everyone. By this token you can probably guess how much expert/serious DIY I have undertaken….not very much. My experience is limited to a bathroom, painting and decorating and a kitchen install. However, I’d now consider something serious...

Over the weekend I posted quite a large question regarding cavity wall insulation. For some reason it seems to have been removed from the forum. Would this be that an op has deleted (I havent received a message saying so). Should I re-post the question?

We recently had cavity wall insulation fitted, and I think they may have made a mistake...but Id like to get some further advice before taking it up with them; We have four vents around the front and side of our property, which are simple air vents. I was under the impression that when...
