As per question. Just about to put up some of these boards on a masonry wall. I'm applying a full bed of S1 tile adhesive across the whole wall (or boards) along with mechanical fixings as the wall is flat and level (no dot and dab). On some manufacturers boards they say put the adhesive on the...

I need to move this 32mm basin waste into a wall chase without having to dig up the concrete and rework the soil pipes (see pic) Ideal solution would be a 90 degree bend where the pipe exits the soil pipe boss; however, that arrangement would be higher than the floating floor. Can you get...

Been searching high and low for this info ! When joining 22mm laminate worktops with unika (or similar) bolts, how tight should they be? What are the signs over tightening? Cheers

Just out of curiosity When pulling a new cable through in the loft, I noticed there is plasterboard on top of all the internal block walls. Really interested in the construction method if anyone would care to explain :)

Hi guys Gap between wall & floor behind kitchen units where no skirting has been fitted: Leave Plaster or take pictures to show friends after the kitchen has been fitted :)
