    Workshop heat retention

    Sadly the outbuilding is build to the width of my boundary therefore expanding outward is impossible and I kinda need to reverse engineer this. Think I'm set on 12.5mm moisture guarded plasterboard from wickes (green sheets), dot and dabbled onto the current brick work. 9.5mm pboards for the...

    Workshop heat retention

    As it's 30m2 that'd set me back 7500. Assuming you didn't include labour in that, as it's a diy forum, I'm totally screwed. Time to weep in a corner.

    Workshop heat retention

    Stairs - Safe to chisel away or not?

    House stairs. No basement for me. This utility room has a washing machine in it and the gas box. I'm unsure why fire prevention would be in place in that corner but not in the rest of the room? That may be my own stupidity. The option of plasterboarding is esentially what I am hoping everyone...

    Workshop heat retention

    Hi everyone. I have recently purchased a house and moved in with the best benefit being a 6 meter by 5 meter workshop at the bottom of the garden. Now, upon moving in and closer inspection, there are a few issues. Doors don't fit, security is a major issue due to door frame rot etc. These...
