Hi, couldn’t find a specific video of yours on how to insulate the void of a timber frame, do we need 100mm insulation? Does it need to be flush and gaps filled with expanding foam? Does the bottom of the timber need to be exposed to breathe? If you have a video I’ll take a look. Thank you, you gave me confidence to do it myself. 😊

Hi Jerry - I have an office to resi project in Hamilton that I am just getting off the ground and found your videos/advice very helpful. Do you & your team take on design & build work yourself anymore or can you recommend any good builders to ask for quotes?

For building work I can only do closer to East side. For design work, much easier as it’s just me involved. If you want to contact, there’s links in the bio or you can through the website

Excellent video. Have done, more or less, what you've advised on a new floor as part of a whole-houose renovation. A couple of months after finishing and when loading floor with 10mm laminate flooring, partitions, cupboards, etc terrible squeaking started. On 600mm centres, I-joists, using D4 Egger-type glue and screws with 22mm caberboard. Still have 'access' to joist-board face from underside. Any suggestions to cure this nightmare short of knocking the whole house down ? :(

If you’ve still got access to underside, maybe run some expanding foaming glue along the tops a new set of joists then, before the glue starts to cure, or set, screw them immediately into the side of the existing joists, pushing them tight against the underside of the chipboard at the same time. Clamps are your friend. . Then introduce noggins in the same way. If you use enough glue it will expand to grab the floor. Without seeing it, I’m guessing only. As I said in the vid, I’ll avoid 600 centres because of the increased risk of squeak

What's the benefit of using tongue and groove chipboard over osb boards? Osb Is usually cheaper

I can get the chipboard for a bit less cost the last time I looked. Plus…chipboard is treated for moisture resistance, plus 22mm t&g OSB is hard to find. I’ll only use OSB for roof deck or if I want to expose it. And if I’m building outside, I don’t want to use OSB as the floor, as it’s not waterproof. The Egger is better for that.
