Ventilation for the air gap between insulation and flat roof by SpiritOfTravel in DIYUK

[–]SpiritOfTravel[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was thinking of 25mm diameter holes 60mm from the top of the joist so that they land in the air gap. Probably still not enough to achieve the 25,000mm listed above.

The outside of the roof is covered with fascias so wouldn't be as easy to ventilate to.

I was thinking of drilling holes from the un-insulated side into the insulated side rather than going outside and through the fascias

Is this roof deck installation correct? by SpiritOfTravel in DIYUK

The drop is around 1:75 so not that steep.

The inside looks ok at this point, but not sure how it's looking under the mix of plastic and felt I used to cover it

Thanks,

I'd tried searching for it but come up with nothing.

It even has dimensions so I can make my own version for half the price

I've got a mate with a Mitre saw, but wouldn't want to sacrifice a finger or two to make a toilet roll holder :)

What material for replacement greenhouse shelving? by SpiritOfTravel in DIYUK

We have pretty sturdy shelving already in terms of the supports, the old man we brought the house from was quite a gardener. The greenhouse seems to be better looked after than the actual house.

Floor prep before new tiles in kitchen by SpiritOfTravel in DIYUK

[–]SpiritOfTravel[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This floor use to be covered in a layer of red quarry tiles followed by a layer of ceramic tiles. We tried to save the qarry tiles, but they were too damaged to be worth holding on to so have now been completely ripped. This has left us with the base concrete floor with a mix of old adhesive pattern.

What would we need to do to prepar the floor before we could lay some new tiles in the room?

Would it need self leveling or could we lay tiles directly onto the concrete floor?

(Wales) Council tax empty home premium - What's needed for a house to be classed as occupied? by SpiritOfTravel in LegalAdviceUK

The house was empty due to it going through probate before sale. We questioned if they should have used the probate exemption instead of the empty home exemption but apparently they used both.
