Well Guys two good responses.I have no doubt I will use them to finish the job.Many thanks for the ideas and information.

I have just discovered I have a problem in the Kitchen. The Cooker Hood Extractor(CHE) is not rigged to take the air to the outside - There is no ducting system. It will be easy enough to fit one but I have one small problem. There is no way I can Rout into the Pelmet above the CHE because I...

Hi Scrit, It definitely is not a Belfast sink. Much appreciation for your help. Jazz

Hi Scrit, The sink that is fitted is a Windsor Premium Double(Small second sink) from Wicks. Could you expain what exactly a Belfast or Butler type is? Jazz

Hi Scrit,Thats exactly what I'll do. Many thanks Jazz

Hi Guys, I am about to replace the wood surround on the sink and worktops in the kitchen. The wood is a dark oak worktop from Wicks. Wicks recommend that you use a Stavnas brown wood oil and I have no doubt that to frequently oil the worktops will be good for the wood. What concerns me are...

Hi John, Any difference would have been between 30-35 year old 1/4" -3/8"(?) very dense Weatherboard (made from highly compressed Fibreglass and other materials)and what is relatively thin Plastic Cladding. This would tend to bear out what I am discovering in relation to Sound Insulation...

Hi Deluks, The House has always been thermally efficient and has Cavity Wall Insulation where there is double Brick and many other Insulating features. It was mainly a Like for Like replacement project with the Cladding being extended to cover where there had been Weatherboard. No timber...

Hi Woody, When you refer to Solid PVCu am I correct in thinking that you are referring to the thickness of the Cladding used by the Contractor?Jazz

Hi Woody,The Photographs and Drawing relevant to this problem-I hope. Jazz http://i164.photobucket.com/albums/u32/JAZZJIMMY/JAZZJIMMY1/

Hi Woody, Twice I have left a message at the end of my last post to explain that I was unable to download the attachments from Photobucket.com possibly due to the heavy Internet Usage.I will try again to put the Photographs and Drawing on am Wednesday/Thursday. But thanks for your valuable...

Hi Woody, An excellent series of questions,I hope I can answer most of them. There is a very significant and substantial difference, its as if we didn't have Double Glazing but we do. As I understand it the Plastic Cladding used on the outside of a House is quite different from that used in...

I agree mass appears to be significant when trying to reduce Noise. The Weatherboards had a depth of 1/4 to 3/8" and had that density. My research has shown that apart from the mass of the Weatherboards the airgap of 3" behind the Board was significant in producing good Sound Insulation. An...

I will try to think through the implications and its potential.My immediate reaction is that I think it would leave a gap at the Joists,between floors, which for Noise Insulation is critical. Many thanks for the idea.

In the summer I had new(replacement) Plastic Cladding fitted by a Specialist Cladding Contractor. On the exterior there were four Weatherboards. All four were removed and replaced with Plastic Cladding. I will concentrate on the two large boards which were 5.5'x4.5' these were removed and...
