    Plasterer being aggressive to us

    Maybe he's got mental health issues judging from the extreme moods like that. You won't have known that, people don't generally wear adverse mental health like shiczophrenia on their sleeve. Try to keep an open mind. Just concentrate on solving your problem now rather than the emotions, no...

    You know what mate, I reflected on what you said and you're right. I gotta get out of the mindset where I feel as I'm losing more sq ft by having more Insulation. Instead, I should be feeling pretty good that where the wardrobes are in I've actually gained 50mm of premium space because the...

    Making progress... Now, for the Insulation what's the correct way forward: Baton out the wall with 2x1, infill with Kingspan, 12.5mm pboard over the top. Or Dot n dab 37.5mm thermal boards? I'm leaning towards the baton option as I'll save a bit of space (I'm fighting for every cm as...

    You're not wrong about the mess. Thankfully, its really just 2 walls when you take out the fitted wardrobes and windows, but will need a small skip. Wish I had one of those builders chutes now lol. Yeah 50mm would be ideal, like in new builds I guess, but as you know will reduce room size I'm...

    Yep, I got the time right now being on furlough & I get to learn a thing or two about me own house. Plus it's makes good sense to pay a plasterer just to plaster. Usually the missus would help but she's 28wks n counting at the minute

    Hey Chrispy, my thoughts exactly. I just don't want to take a mistep end up creating more work and expense. Fully justified on the external walls though to install the thermal boards.

    Thanks for the tip FreeD, nice to hear from you again. Lol @ your comment! Haha, no they're good honest lads, work has been dry so he actually called me back wondering wether I was ready, and he got paid on demand, in cash on the last job, no complaints from either party. They did a very tidy...

    Only reasons against, thus far, was 1. The skirting. I wanted to keep that intact and thermal boards would hang over it like a lip. But I guess I can just rip it off and although the wardrobes are scribed to the skirting, when the thermal boards are on, they'll cover that anyway. I can...

    Going all out now, ripping the loose stuff back to brick, new windows to come, insulation boards to fill the gaps in the reveals. The brick and mortar underneath is really bad, I'm surprised my house is still standing. Too big a job for me and a bag of easifill, will sadly have to keep the...

    Some advice needed

    The cracks under the window are down to water in the cavity condensing and trickling down through a gap in the window cill.. There's a great big whopping difference between where the inner leaf and outer leaf stop (outer leaf is more closed in), so the reveals splay out. Great big gaps...
