I have added some insulation between the rafters: What next? Should I fill the gaps with expanding foam then screw polystyrene backed plasterboard on? Mick

Right, I have insulated between the rafters, what now? Should I screw some insulated plasterboard on? Should I fill all the gaps with expanding foam? Cheers, Mick

The joints are rubbish quality, thats the problem, my other bits fit together much better.

Looks like I will have to get it from here: http://www.plumbcenter.co.uk/en/plumbing/traps-pan-connectors/mcalpine-wm11-p-trap-applicance-nozzle-1-5-10495 The only problem is that it looks like the waste pipe is too low to my existing pipework. What part do I need to extend it up? Do...

Might try this: http://www.wickes.co.uk/1-12in-sink-p-trap-+-2-x-nozzle-wm11/invt/226994/ Tightening doesn't help, the joints dont fit together very well.

Hi, I bought one of these from Screwfix: http://www.screwfix.com/p/floplast-tw477-dual-sink-wash-trap-40mm/33137 Its perfect but leaks slightly, I think just because its cheap. Can anyone recommend a better one? Or suggest how I can seal it somehow? It leaks on the joins on the u...

I accept that I will have to lose some space but am just trying to minimise loss and do this job the simplest way. This space is attached to the house so will get some heating from that and needs insulation to minimise loss of heat from the house. So, at the moment it looks like I will be...

Room is only 150cm by 90cm so might not need much, Can I stick it to the wall or does the insulation prevent that?

Oh dear, why is nothing ever simple? Maybe I should just use candles instead. So, do I need special cable? Or should I go overhead instead? Or should I just speak to my sparky tomorrow?

No worries, thanks for you help. Will I be ok pulling a cable back through this pipe, its full of water so I am slightly concerned.

I suspect this may have been the problem: This was the cable running underground from the house to the garage. Fell apart as soon as I pulled it.

Have you heard of a tool called Google?

Obviously I am talking about "thermal plasterboard". If you read the rest of the thread before being sarcastic you may have worked this out. The room is just used for storage. No its not heated, I though I would try insulating first. I am currently doing the roof. Previously it had just...

Whats the best way to fix on the batons? Drill through then screw?

Genius! Plenty of space to lose. Will get some batons today and stick the rafter insulation in, I am going to use "thermal plasterboard" on after, any ideas what type to use? How do I fasten it? Nailed to rafters? Mick

Surely just sticking plasterboard on is easier? Obviously I am going to lose some space by doing this but would like to minimise it.

HI, I am just insulating the roof on my outhouse, I have pulled the old plasterboard off to reveal the rafters and was going to insulate between them with polystyrene the plasterboard over. They are only 80mm thick and I need to leave a 50mm gap (I presume to prevent heat loss though...

[the whole circuit consists of 1 light and one double socket, the light and the socket both "flicker" when used. The cable from the house runs down the wall and goes under ground. I have heard it crackling where it runs down the wall (in a a pipe). I am currently insulating the ceiling where...

I have pretty much concluded that the fault lies in the cable from the consumer unit to the garage. I am going to just replace this cable. and get someone to connect it to the consumer unit. What type of cable do I need? The garage just has one light and double socket.

Dont really want to lose any space. Can I just use some sort of thermal plasterboard and stick it on?
