Thanks for reply lads did you put air bricks in loft at base?did you have windows if so open or glass?

[just ask me]

you need good insulation and ventilation with a block loft i have seen dampness in them

Does it need to be double skin then with insulation in between.??

i think so mate i would also have a floating floor

[Bryngwynt Lofts]

What do you mean by floating floor??

I was thinking of concrete floor smoothed polished

concrete floor holds the cocci worm easy , grills or chip board best imo

where did you stay in Longniddry ? i come from there !!!!

[just ask me]

floating floor consists of useing no nails in the floor

 

 

its done similar to the way as you would put down a wooden floor in house

 

just put plastic down no holes or tears etc then 2 by1 on top running around walls then put 2by1 running in the square these about every 2 foot put floor on top

 

then put skirting board of some sort around thick stuff anything will do best to do with 2 people one pushing the board down as 1 nails it too the wall then cut off excess plastic

 

this way mate you cant get dampness coming up though your floor

 

im hopeless at explaining stuff hope you can understand

 

im sure someone can explain it better
