cheers got a few more questionsYes I used foil tape to seal gap between insulation and battens. The Celotex comes in different thicknesses so adjusted to suit battens. I think I used 75x50 battens and 50mm Celotex. That ensured a nice air gap between back of celotex and plastic roof.
Keep up the questions, the more you ask the easier the job will be when you start.
You can cut the Celotex/Kingspan really easily to fit small/awkward gaps.cheers got a few more questions
would foil backed plasterboard make and difference or would normal do ? im thinking12mm + plaster will be a bit heavy so going to put 10mm plasterboard on...where you cant get a good fit with the celotex what did you fill with ? foam?
Ive heard buildbase cheapest for 50mm 8x4 kingspan is this right ? anywhere cheaper ?
Just done a bit of research on Gyproc site. Looks like 9.5mm plasterboard would have been fine. Only 6.3 kg/m2. Conservatory could have taken glass roof so would have been able to take plasterboard and skim. I'm happy with what I did but 8 years on I would have done it differently.You can cut the Celotex/Kingspan really easily to fit small/awkward gaps.
I don't know on the plasterboard as I'm no builder, I was just nervous of the weight. Didn't really investigate it any further than "gut feel".

How the heck did I get involved in a thread about DIY? I do not drink 'smelly beer' per see; just quality ale! I haven't had a beard in goodness knows how many years, my school teachers were mainly sadistic professionals, so I don't welcome the comparison, and I'm not at risk of Type 2 Diabetes ....... other than that @cornish mackem you're spot on ........ now when do I get me sausages?Otherwise known as @Dougal
Starting it this weekend and i'm thinking of going down the white pvc ceiling t&g instead of p.board looks cleaner whiter and just needs a wipe down every now and again,My only worry is the ceiling will look a bit too bathroomy anyone go down this route ? thoughts?
You could be throwing good money after bad here. Conservatory’s are not really habitable rooms - the heat loss is enormous ( that’s why you are replacing the roof I guess). They should be separated from the main dwelling by a thermal break ( ie double glazed doors). You ll still loose heat through the large glazed areas.
A lot of people are simply flopping them and building a garden room with cavity walls and less glazing - a fully insulated tiled roof as well. These are deemed habitable and don’t need thermal breaks.
It will add good value as well.
Food for thought mate.
I’m going to hoy an insulated roof on our conservatory, I’m happy with it having a “thermal break” as it houses the boys drum kit which although has mesh leads and low volume cymbals to mute it by 80% or something, it’s still loud enough to be a nuisance with the double glazed door open, you can barely hear it when it’s shut.
Its whats known in the trade as "Gannie Cladding". Plasterboard and skim it.Starting it this weekend and i'm thinking of going down the white pvc ceiling t&g instead of p.board looks cleaner whiter and just needs a wipe down every now and again,My only worry is the ceiling will look a bit too bathroomy anyone go down this route ? thoughts?

I totally agree but i haven't got the funds ,But on the plus side i have a big 5ft double radiator in it and when i got the consevatory built i got 35mm polycarbonate roof so i can sit in it in the winter no bother ,This
This
And this again
Just about ready to go but working it out its going to be deep.
14mm gap between inner polycarbide face and edge of roofbar (this will be my gap between insulation and roof)
50mm x 50mm screwed to roof bars then 50mmm kingspan inbetween roof bars ,but then i will have to cross brace the kingspan with 2x1 or 2x2 at 400centres to take the 10mm plasterboard + 2mm skim
so loss of ceiling after could be 112mm with 2x2 or 87mm with 2x1 brace but i dont think the 2x1 will be rigid enough for the p,board
The roof bars are 980mm apart so i would have to frame it out to get to roughly 450mm centres and dont know if the timber will be seen from the outside ? also the foil kingspan covering with the logo on may be seen from the outside ? thinking i may have to paint or cover the internal side of the polycarbide with something or else when you look from the outside you will see 2x2 timber frames and the kingspan logo on the back
nowt straightforward.

Indeed - you ll need to Matt Black the inside of the polycarbide or it will look like a b and q warehouse.
Just as i thought ,will normal matt black paint take to the polycarbide and be ok ? i.e not flake off after a year or so.
Probably win the Stirling Prize for architecture though.
