    I did give it a while (before the heating was turned on) can't remember how long... but Im pretty sure the problem is adheision between the tiles and the adhesive.

    Flexible adhesive / underfloor heating problem...

    I did have great fun with this one... I bought the powder assuming it was "just add water"... got up 6am the following day to crack on with the job. Read the instuctions to find it would only work as a regular adhesive if I added water and I needed the additive for it to be flexible. Went back...

    Flexible adhesive / underfloor heating problem...

    Hi, Underneath there is a webbing upon which the heating is attached, and this beneath that is 50mm fibre screed. Not sure if the adhesive was cement based... it was in 20kg bags and had to be mixed up with a milky coloured additive. Ive just tried to find it online and I can't... perhaps...

    What to do about planning for block paved driveway.

    There is a ditch which borders the bottom of my garden and a farmers field, Ive never seen any water in it so I guess it has good absorption - can I just drain to this, its not linked to any sewer or drain.

    What to do about planning for block paved driveway.

    I was planning to use Marshalls Tegula which is available in porous and traditional blocks... but the porous stuff states professional fitting is required. Now I've only done a little block paving in my time, and wouldn't say you need to be a rocket scientist to lay a small area, provided you...

    What to do about planning for block paved driveway.

    Ok... so applying for permission is a waste of time then, as they would grant permission based on me digging a drain to take the rainwater from my driveway to the ditch out the back of my house. £150 wasted! which should be invested in a mini-digger!

    Hi, I live in a cul de sac and have a drive (currently gravelled) of approx. 25sqM. There are 20odd houses in the street, only 6 were built with a concrete drive, the rest originated as front gardens - approx 6 have been converted to driveways and only 2 of them are CBP - the rest being...

    More DPM?

    Hi there... Im about to lay 12sqM of screed in a small extension and Im not sure whether to use DPM or not. I suspect my hesitance could be as a result of working on a building site nearly 10yrs ago, the screeders used DPM but I think this may of been specifically because of block & beam...
