Hi FMCK, Thanks for your reply. The cladding is already mounted to the 2x2 studwork. So am I right in thinking that my best option would be to add an extra batten to the studs to increase the depth, put 50mm celotex inbetween studs leaving an airgap to the cladding, then polythene and...

Hi all, Am part way through building a garden office to use as, well, an office. I've built it from scratch using 2x4 & 2x2 studwork and then clad it in loglap T&G cladding. The base is made up from a 2x4 frame on short stilts. This was to get it up off the ground and also to level it...

Hi, Thanks for the replies (especially as i've just realised i posted this in the wrong section of the forum!!) After looking around online, i think that installing two HepVo valves is the way forward. I take it i install these as close to the bath and sink as possible, instead of the...

Hi, I'm in the process of renovating our bathroom and am trying to think of the best way to route the waste pipes from the bath and sink. Unfortunately i don't have/know how to upload a picture, so i will try to describe the layout as best i can! Running from left to right along one...

Richard, Thankyou for your time in answering my questions, it is much appreciated! Dave

Richard, Many thanks for your continued advice, its really appreciated! I think i am down to my last question now. If i buy some SBR primer to make up a slurry coat to seal the old paintwork and plaster before tiling, can i use that same SBR mixed 1-4 with water to prime the new PB wall...

Hi Richard, With regards to the weight, I put a brand new sealed pack of tiles on our digital bathroom scales (which i hope are fairly accurate!) and they weighed 15.4KG. The pack states that it covers approx 1m2, and I also calculated it to be 0.996 m2 without spacing for grout. The other...

Hi Richard, Sorry, totally forgot to put the tile size on! They're quite large, 361 x 276 x 9mm, ceramic. So, to summerise: Acrylic primer (for plasterboard only, or on both wall types? Sorry!) http://www.tilefixdirect.com/product/BAPR25.html Good quality powdered adhesive all round...

Hi Richard, Thanks for your reply. BTW this was the PVA that i saw http://www.bostik.co.uk/diy/product/evo-stik/Super-Evo-Bond/87 I have weighed the tiles that i have, and a 1 mtr square pack weighs in at 15.4 kg. So i guess even adding 4 kg to that for adhesive & grout i still come in...

Hi, I've had a quick search of existing topics but not really found what i'm after. I am in the process of refitting our bathroom, including knocking down the wall between existing bathroom & toilet to make one room. The existing walls are blockwork (like breeze blocks, but thinner), as...

Hi, I think its just a room stat, pretty sure there is no programmer in it. Its this part here: http://www.heatingcontrolsonline.co.uk/acl-drayton-digistat-plus-wireless-digital-thermostat-p-95.html I have the one with the SCR. Dave

Hi, Have just installed a Drayton Digistat+ RF room stat to the above boiler and its not quite behaving as i think it should. There is also a 24 hour 'clockwork' timer module already fitted in the facia, btw. Install was exactly as i expected, with power taken from the boilers power...
