This is where the problem lies. No room for waterproof backing board. Forced to fit enclosure to wall and tile up to it. Worried about waterproofing... hence questions about adhesion qualities of silicon to plaster and tanking...
Thanks Flameport for your comments. I don't believe that there have been a catalogue of mistakes; it's just that I am where I am. When taking off the old tiles in the shower area, the adhesive pulled off much of the plaster skim hence I had to have it re-skimmed so that I could re-tile. No...
Dear all,
I hope you can help. Here's the deal... I have a newly plastered shower enclosure. My plasterer finished of with a water based stabilising solution (not PVA) to reduce the chalky/dusty/porous finish of the plaster. This was absorbed into the plaster; there's nothing left n the...
Thanks Tickly T and again Charnwood,
I would like to try rigid pipework for reasons previously stated but I can't get them to fit I will go for the flexi. I will be boxing in as mentioned and I could ensure the pipe is supported to ensure it doesn't sag. I will investigate the various...
Charnwood,
Thanks very much for your advise - and sorry about your stiff neck :D .

Hi Everyone,
I couldn't find a previous answer that directly answers my question....
I am fitting a new Toilet. It is an Imperial close coupled model (Westminster). The waste outlet from the toilet faces the back wall of the bathroom. The waste pipe from the stack pipe is horizontal...
this exactly what the manufacturers said.....
"I am sorry to have to inform you, that the HC115 shower kit cannot be used with any other components. It has been made to be used with the 3m of flexi duct pulled taught and with no additional bends or alternative components. If you add bends...
OK I get the hint.... No more groundhog day. Just had to be sure - the manufacturer of the fan is telling me that I should not reduce the size of the duct because they cannot guarantee the performance because they haven't tested the fan in anything but a straight through configuration using the...
Thanks for your info. I'll crack on anyway. Regarding the sizing. The fan has 125mm written into the plastic but only measures 115mm. The ducting that fits is the concertina (crap) type but I can't find rigid ducting that fits. I plan to use short length of the concertina then reduce to...
