Starting to block in the extension now (it's timberframe). One wall is 14Mtr long therefore requiring two expansion joints in the blockwork.
Can I place these expansion joints adjacent to my firestops (2x2 with dpc stapled to the surface).
i.e. down the centre line of the firestop.
Spoke to an ex-builder who says "No you cant" and went on to say they are not needed! so I not sure how cosha his advise is, anyhow BCO will insist they are there.
Once again thank you!!
