Is it OK to leave a gap between the celotex and the outside facing (25mm)?
I can't really get a full thickness in there, due to the nails from the outside tiles - gap is 100mm, otherwise could I use dritherm all the way through and then a 25mm celotex board over the batons?
Hi
Morning all.
I'm trying to figure out the best approach to insulate an upstairs box bay (house is circa 1910).
Double glazing has been fitted, but nothing has been done to the wall below and it is very cold and since removing a bay window seat a bit draughty as well. Construction is (was)...
Now here's a question. I need to swivel the 90 degree waste pipe round a bit, which means removing that AAV (I could re-attach to the other side), but do I need it? Since that bathroom was put in we've had a ensuite put in the loft room above and as part of that they re-directed the soil pipe...
I've got a bit of height and can probably have more as the wall it's going on slopes back a bit.
Anyway so far so good - primary test was a success, I've done it with no direct 90 degree turns.
Will be getting a new slimline cistern to replace the current one and will also recess it half a...
Is it acceptable to locate the cistern somewhere other than behind the toilet? Or won't physics allow it?
In this case I want to put a concealed cistern to the side of the toilet and have a pipe run make 2 turns and then into the back of the toliet.
Ta.
I've recently had a 40m2 slab of concrete laid, in the my kitchen/diner, which was powerfloated. After a period of time I then sealed it with Watco Powerfloat Concrete sealer (this was recommended to me elsewhere).
What a disaster - It hasn't adhered properly and has now started pealing. I...
Hi
I probably need to call the installer back, but is anyone aware of a way to adjust the position of the sash within the frame of a new-ish (1 year) Velux top hung roof window? I'm finding it difficult to close on the fully closed lock position and on closer inspection I can see that the sash...
If it's any consolation I will probably be replacing it. We've had some building work done and it's got a bit dirty, with brick dust, plaster etc.
We plan to get a runner installed up the stairs and into the loft. I need something that can easily turn corners and as it's fiddly I'll get someone...
Just thought I'd follow up...
After 2 years of use the stair runner is still in good shape and has not stretched at all, it was already backed with latex so I guess that stopped that from happening... No one has died or been remotely injured.
Hi all
Anyone have any experiences of this product. I found two reviews on Amazon which say it's hard to fit and doesn't get hot enough.
The alternative I think would be the Insinkerator version.
Thanks

Hi
I have a side by side Whirlpool fridge freezer that is not auto defrosting (model number 8586 150 15002).
I replaced the thermostat unit but that didn't help. I am going to test the heater element for continuity today when I get hold of a tester, but other than that I'm not sure what it...
Thanks for that. Sounds like I just need to change the junction box on the end of the spur to an FCU and it's good to go.
I might want to plug in a couple of extra items, such as a WiFi router and a NAS. So I just need to keep in mind the power consumption and if it looks like being too much...
