Thanks all.

Thanks - where would one find such a beast for 90mm duct to an air valve

Is there a single connection plenum for a 90mm duct? Can only see a two duct connection and they’re quite expensive

Hi All, feel like this is a silly question as i can't find the answer anywhere - indictaing that no one has ever needed to ask - but can anyone offer any guidance on connecting a 90mm semi-regid QuietVent duct to a 100mm air valve?

I don’t disagree The osb is protected by a breather membrane. I want to protect the breather membrane Agreed, the gap will still be ventilated

Yes it will become unprotected if I just leave it.

Apologies, haven’t seen those threads. My situation may be slightly different as I have a sips wall with breather membrane attached. If left the breather membrane will break down and expose the osb face to whatever is in the void. A small volume of moisture in the space isn’t my significant...

Thanks for the reply. I did the same in terms of the concrete laid to a fall and could get a tray along the bottom that I could remove periodically and clean, which would go the job. I was hoping to do something that was relatively maintenance free though

Hi, a couple of close up photos attached.

Hi, thanks for the reply - yes i can but i'll need to get up there to get the photo. Will try and get this later today.

Morning all, Looking for some ideas on how to close the gap between my shallow pitch roof with planum interlocking tiles and my neighbours property, which has a flat roof partially above and partially below my roof - photo attached. I want to close it off to prevent rain/leaves etc getting...

Hi all, I had completed my extension last year and all has been well so far, however I have done a post winter walk round to start on some of the finishing jobs and noticed some tiles that appeared to be lifting. Can anyone offer an opinion on whether this is anything sinister? My initial...

Hi all, Looking for some assistance on wall build up for a SIPS systrem (I am using the Kingspan TEK system if that helps). The outside of the SIPS panel have been wrapped with a breather membrance and are then to be clad with 50mm rockwool, which will then be rendered using something like EWI...

Would you need to remove the paper before skimming?

This looks great. What was your process for getting the plasterboard to a state where it was ready for painting?

I think photo 3 is the clearest one showing the holes. I've gone down the route of twist nails, so i'll stick with that and will elave the bolt holes empty

Thanks - I wasn't thinking of drilling extra holes in the hangers - just using the large bolt holes that are there (there is one on the flange on either side). My thinking was that drilling large holes in the joist would weaken the overall joist - hence my use of twist nails only. yes, noted...

In theory I can readily drop a couple of bolts through the connections if this is felt to be more robust - if i understand the point being raise, i can pilot through the bolt holes on the joist-joist hanger and then enlarge the hole from the opposite side of the joist. Obviousy if it makes no...

Thanks for the comments - yes, much of this is on the radar. The tape wraps and existing cabling pipework will be replaced in the next phase of works. Will also do the bounce test and give the nuts/bolts a last little nip-up before closing up.

Thank you so much for looking and commenting. I was tying myself up in self doubt despite having planned the work for ages. I’ll get the missing washer added and will add the nail to the zip hanger. I couldn’t think how to get the hammer onto a nail in the small gap, but having thought about...
