Thanks for all the great tips, guess i wont be buying a nail gun now :-)

WOW

Thanks for all of your suggestions. I tried glue on my first panelling project and even though this was onto a plaster board wall the imperfections in either the skimmed finish or maybe the MDF were a real pain and i just could not get the stuff to lay flat! I ended up drilling the boards and...

Hi I'm considering purchasing a nail gun to nail some 12mm MDF to a newly skimmed plaster and lathe wall. MDF is being used to create a panelled wall effect. Do you think this is a suitable method of fixing the MDF? Thanks in advance

Datarebal Thanks for your reply i appreciate it.

Hi Is it possible to change a Velux flashing kit without removing the window Frame? My roof will be getting re-tiled in the near future most likely with a different tile which may not be suitable with the flashing kit currently in place. TIA Suts

Okay its been a while but thought it only fair to resurrect this thread so the guys who offered there thoughts could see what was under the floor when i eventually lifted it last week. https://ibb.co/sJSD8RV https://ibb.co/zVRL94Q Every tile lifted looked like this.

I have the keypad version. Works a treat.

Just read this while going through some other threads. Like i said in the first post i work away and so was not on site most of the time however an alarm bell has just rang in my little mind and i,m sure the screed-ed floor was PVA'd ! If this was the case do you guys think this could be a...

I hear what you guys are saying but i,m going to pass. His work has turned to crap so i don't really want his input. 6/7 years is a long time and i cant imagine many tradesman admitting to inferior workmanship and/or offering nay financial refund? Knowledge is power your right and you guys on...

Gents, Thanks for all the comments certainly food for thought. I think for sure all my problems stem from poor sub floor preparation and/or incorrect adhesive/SLC! If and when i start this project i dont plan to use the same tiles so damage will not be an issue. I don't plan on contacting...

Charlie I am with you and had the kitchen not been fitted on top of the tiles i think i would have already ripped them up by now! Removing the kitchen island and large worktop fills me with dread. I am hoping however that i will only have to remove the plinths on the units against the walls...

Charlie thanks for your response it is appreciated. The screed is a traditional sand and cement and was down at least 6 weeks prior to tiling. No the ply was directly onto the joists. The timber floor area is 13m and the screeded area 40m Thanks again

Guys, Thanks for the input it is really appreciated, and i think all of your points hold value. One of the big issues i had on this build and from a personal view point is that i work away from home and was not able to oversea the complete job! Yes i have UFH in both the new part and the...

Hi, Have a bit of a dilemma concerning my kitchen floor and would be interested in any comments. The first picture shows our extension just after completion in early 2011, the floor was fully tiled prior to the kitchen being installed. Rightly or wrongly it was done in this order due to lead...
