Hi people
Thought i would register on here, been reading a lot and come up with a few things i would like some advice on.
Me and the mrs have spent the last 2 days tearing down one of the bedrooms (whole house to be done). we have took it back to brick ready for plaster boarding. i have a few questions about the chimney and cavity infills around the window frame. pictures to come
we have a fireplace in the bedroom and want to completely rid of it. i can do some brick laying work but i didn't even want the air brick in there. so to get round this, i read somewhere about putting an air brick 450mm from the bedroom ceiling inside the loft, and when we get the roof done get a valve put on the pot correct?
And the next question is the window cavity's, should these be filled with an expanding foam to stop drafts getting behind the boards prior to adhesive the boards?
i have done boarding but didn't know about laying a top and bottom bead of adhesive to help combat drafting so i will definitely be doing that.
there's a few other things id like to ask but will get the pictures up first!
Thanks!
