It seems the steel beams had no insulation.. should I insulate the beam before I seal it with plasterboards?

Underneath concrete I found some plastic things, seems like a damp proof membrane. So the tiles off and then self leveller is the only option??

Wall above is an ensuite but wall left is external.. Thanks

Thanks, that's more assuring. The surveyor said the movement is due a settlement of the extension with the poor construction.. but surely need to be angled so I was confused. Birdsmouth? Do you mean the roof where the fascia is?

Thanks all for the comments, really appreciate your help. The surveyor mentioning the walls were poorly built but when looking at the floor plan the angle had to be adjusted so that the garage can be accessible. I am not sure if it is actually poorly built or the surveyor did not look the floor...
