It's only one wall so it isn't bad. I have about 150mm behind the PB. My question is what should I put behind and is it really needed? I don't mind taking down the PB on just the one wall affected.

So its safe to do that then?

Hi, Doing up my bathroom at the moment and there was a twin/earth cable coming down from the loft to power a shaver socket. I dont want a shaver socket in my new bathroom so i got rid. When i fed the cable back up into my loft, i noticed it goes back down into an unaccessible part of the...

Prob a stupid question but doubt creeps in. Anyone?

It's internal but the other side of the wall is the outside of my house. That's why it's cold, just not sure if I need anything in the wall cavity.

Put some plasterboard onto a stud frame which is onto a internal brick wall. The problem is that this brick wall is pretty cold to the touch as its an outside wall. Should I put insulation in? Or polystyrene sheets? Or leave as is? It's just plain old gyproc I used, no foil back or anything...

Thanks for evryones input! I ended up putting spacers behind the wood and i bought the concrete screws you hammer in (120mm long). They worked a treat, its solid now as i done this 4 times on each stud! And i got all the nails out, a total pain!!!!!!!!

So I should use the existing studwork? Should I put blocks of wood behind where I am screwing?

I have stripped out my lath and plaster of my bathroom and i am left with my studwork: Some of the wedges into the wall arnt secured. What are my best options? Strip it all out and reinstall wood studs? How would i attach the the brick?

So my window currently has a frame around it. It is just a matter of ripping this wood out and plasterboarding? I want to tile all the way in. There is a space inbetween the inside frame and the wall. Is this cold bridging? Do i need to keep this when installing the plasterboard?
