I don't have any old flower pots lying around, but i do have the cement board and plaster board, if i use the board would i need to provide any vent holes to allow heat to escape? the loft caps don't but this concerns me, am i being over cautious

I have 7 halogen down lighters in my bathroom and over time i get more and more dead moths in the glass bottom as they are open in the loft, i know i can buy loft caps to cover them but i was wondering whether i can make some loft caps out of spare plaster board (or cement board which i also...

I am tiling my bathroom floor and have decided to remove the old 20mm floorboards and replace with 25mm WBP ply, the only problem i have is a 3m steel rsj running down the centre of the bathroom. The joists have been run in the I section of the rsj and the floor boards are about 2mm higher than...
