What sort of Rockwool would people recommend? Its going to need to be easy for me to cut to get a perfect tight fit below the celotex given the way it slops upwards. What about this http://www.insulationexpress.co.uk/Multi-Purpose-Slabs/Rockwool-Flexi-Insulation-Slab.htm

I've got the room striped right back at the moment as I'm trying to insulate everything. Previously I thought it might have been air getting up into the corner and hitting the plasterboard but its been windy today and its doing as much as normal. Its like the entire frame is moving. Its hard...

This might seem strange and I'm not sure I'm going to get an answer but I might as well ask! My bedroom is a dormer style room. The sides are brick /block construction which are tile hung and the back is timber frame again tile hung. The window in this room is huge but the right hand side of...

Thanks. Do you think I should put say 50mm of celotex angled from the high to the low end to improve U value. Then rockwool or just fill the entire void with rockwool?

I'm looking into getting my extension re-roofed and only really want to use EPDM as it seems so much better than felt. I was told the only reason they can say it lasts 40 years is because thats how old the oldest EPDM roof is. No felt roof would last 40 years let alone be able to say it will...

I've had quotes for £3000 for 16sq meters of flat roof. That includes a new deck. 100mm of celotex in between the joists. EPDM and new fascias and soffits. Personally I think this is a rip off for this size of roof so I'm still looking. Thats £187.50 per sq meter meaning the same roofing...

I've started a project insulating a bedroom in my house. Its a dormer style room with a flat roof. I want to insulate the walls and roof. The flat roof is currently felt deck which was redone by the previous owner a few years ago. There is a tiny bit of insulation in between the joists but...

No wonder all the posts I found on the net weren't closed off. It probably not possible to diagnose the problem online. Anyway if your reading this after your machine did the same thing it may well not be the brushes. New machine arriving today. :D

The motor bushes were low I've replaced them with new one's today but its still doing the same thing. Door lock light comes on nothing else happening. Anyone got any ideas?

Thanks for the reply.

I've currently got a flat roof over an extension thats got cold deck insulation with vents in the soffits. I want to convert to warm deck, renew the felt with EPDM and get new fascias and soffits at the same time. I'm thinking of going with something like Kingspan Theramroof TR21 build right...

Thanks for the tip finally got the time to have a look today and this looks to be the problem. I'm going to order new ones and report back if it works.

Our washing machine started the cycle wet the clothes and pretty much stopped. Now the power light comes on, the door locks but then nothing happens regardless of where you move the dial. Tried turning it off for a while on the wall. Been through all the options on the dial but its doing...

I want to improve the insulation in our three bedroom detached house as it fairly cold. Starting with the back bedroom. It's a dorma style room which has a single storey flat roof extension behind it. The back part of the room (with the window) has a tile hung timber frame wall with 100 mm...

This is really interesting, when we moved in the energy report said we had cavity wall insulation but the walls upstairs seem colder to the touch. Its almost like they couldn't be bothered to insulate the higher parts of the building but if they couldn't get to them because of not being able...

Wow great job. Nice to see so many pictures.
