Cheers deluks, Interesting method. At the end of the linked thread you suggest using insulation backed plaster board - do you mean in addition to the two layers of foil board, or as an alternative on a conventional wooden frame?

We live in an end terrace, it had a simple loft conversion about ten years ago. In the loft space - mainly used for storage - the gable end is only single brick thickness (below this floor level is it is double thickness with a supporting buttress wall which looks like it was added sometime...

Yes I had thought about studding it out using timber as an alternative method - was thinking the lightweight channel might be easier to transport, carry up the seemingly endless flights of stairs and work with. I've no idea what the cost comparison timber vs. dryline channel is at the moment...

Hi, I need to line a gable end wall in a loft conversion and I'd like to dry line it to avoid the need to plaster (the room has already been converted and is clean). The purpose of the job is to build in some additional insulation, and dry lining seems like a potentially good lightweight way...

We did this in our bathroom: had to replace the original floor because of woodworm. After treating all the joists I laid a pine T&G floor, let it settle for a few weeks then stained it, filled the gaps with a flexible outdoor sealant, then several more coats of exterior grade wood stain (the...

Just an update on this: got some suitable Mapei today, found it good to work with. It flows nicely, I got them all down in time but noticed that it does go off quicker than you might like. I had all the tiles laid out in order and to hand to help cut down on "dicking around" time and this...

So: not necessary in my case and use it quick! Cheers.

Thanks - was going to do it tonight, but thought I'd hang fire and check it out first. I don't even remember buying it. With Mapei Keraquick must you use their latex to make it flexible?

Our wet room is nearly done, just got to tile the floor. Concrete subfloor left to go off for three months, then thermal board ontop, then tanked using Dunlop system. Warmup DWS400 wire laid out and taped down, floor tiles all cut to size in a pile waiting to go down. Question: in the...

Yes, meant flow rate rather than "pressure", will test incoming CW volume as suggested - thanks. I see what you're saying, and the higher a combi boiler's kW rating the better.

Am thinking about replacing our Ferroli 77FF at some point in the near future. It's just about hanging in for the moment with an annoying DHW issue that I now suspect may be the exchanger (have replaced thermistors, will only properly heat hot water by reducing flow with tap). It has only...

Further update on this, have replaced all four thermistors - problem still persists...

Hi, Have just searched the FAQs and so have some ideas about this to add to my existing thoughts but would like others' opinions also please: Ferroli 77FF combi natural gas, installed in 1992. In a short period of time, only the last few months, the hot water flow rate reduced...
