Properly some 1/2" ply and 2x1 give the edges a sand and insulate around the pipe to cut out any sound and a link of paint

Best to get someone to make with a joinery workshop and the equipment

I would also start by sealing the Window frame to to the render with a mastic and I would also check the Window above and seal with mastic checking under the cills as the water might be coming from a Window above

A cheaper option might be to use knauf insulation loft roll270 then put 200mm cuttings of 2x2 cuttings on the ceiling ties then 2x2 on top of the cuttings then your chipboard. There is also pastic feet for packing up the flooring, but not sure how good they are. Or do as tony suggests and fill...

I would keep the floor the same level as your house and the stud wall would have to achieve part L of building regs and 1 hour fire rating as it is onto a garage

Sounds fine

Must admit it's a job I keep away from as poster says above day rates rather you than me

Then does it radiate the heat back into the room

That makes sense just before Christmas was fitting a new type (new to me) protec 4000? And it looked a bit like building paper had a foil surface which went to the insulation and black on the outside and then taped. In scotland we have to meet a higher U value and by using this product increased...

Go on the planning portal website easiest way is to use trusses

To me it looks like an electric mains supply as long as you don't break it it will be fine Gas yellow Water blue Electric black

Google celcon they are one of the most common blocks of this kind they would be able to tell you which product to choose more than I can. Fixing into them is no different to fixing in ordinary bricks just keep the fixing away from the edges, timber pads where radiators go can be used dabs in...

I think I would anyone walking in high heels could maybe put a heel in the gap you could use a wood filler if not too many or lay and nail hardboard to the floor

Not a problem I suppose with foil wrapped building papers that are now used to increase the U value of the walls and that's where confusion come from and I hadn't thought about the insulation

It doesn't it could be something like a glulam beam can't say what the price difference would be, but contact TRADA they will be able to point you in right direction and as long as it meets eurocode 5 for timber structure then it can be used. It's just most engineers in this country are only...

It's always been my belief that the foil worked by reflecting the foil worked by reflecting the cold from outside so when the warm air from inside when it touches it does not turn to condensation at the end of the day it is a still a vapour barrier

The plasterboard does not have to be foil backed on all external insulated walls and the knee wall you are referring to is classed as an external wall so as you look plasterboard - vapour barrier - insulation. If you can look behind the plasterboard and pull the Rockwood away you should see a...

The vapour barrier in the dwarf wall external wall goes on the warm side of the insulation. So insulation between studs then the vapour barrier and plasterboard. The vapour barrier could be foiled back sheets but doesn't need to be could be visqueen and normal plasterboard. Good idea taking...

If the roof work is carried out correctly then I don't see why not and there is a way for removing the extra moisture from brewing but not sure on how much extra moisture is produced from brewing. Some of the felt companies are offering 25year guarantees I think doing a pitch roof would cost...
