Hi All.
Currently quoting a friend to "do up" their brick built lean-to. Looking for any "heads up" or advice before undertaking.
It's a non-cavity brick wall with damp proof course parallel to the external rendered wall of the house. Roof pretty much as per a car port; timber frame fixed to house wall and sitting on wall plate on non-cavity wall then covered in corrugated sheet - the black opaque stuff. Been assured all's water tight and dry; which it appears to be.
They understand it can't be habitable, just want it to look like a utility room off the kitchen.
Am proposing pre-constructed timber frames that I then fix to all existing walls. In-fill with glass fibre insulation. Then plasterboard all. Advised them against plaster boarding the roof - suspect joints will just keep opening up with typical movement from a car port roof. Tongue and grove softwood now required.
Anyone see any issues?
What about non cavity wall; any moisture issues that I may need to consider?
Cheers,
Neil
