    Kitchen Paint Advice

    Good morning all, We've recently embarked on a new Utility Room project which also includes painting the kitchen. It's a new build house (3.5 years old but this is the first lick of paint the kitchen will have had) plus there's some bare plaster where we've moved doors as part of the Utility...

    Soil pipe fittings - WC move

    Got it done today. There was no budging the 110 pipe that was popping up so if it wasn’t solvent welded then the slab had really got hold of it!! Managed to get it cut square & chamfered and broke enough of the floor slab out to get a socket bend onto it. Just need to get the rest of the...

    Soil pipe fittings - WC move

    Thanks. Going to have a proper look this weekend as I can’t tell if it’s been solvent welded to the below ground or if it’s been cast in with the slab. I’m guessing the latter so I’ll see if it will turn at all first

    Soil pipe fittings - WC move

    Cheers pal. I’m looking at the Terrain catalogue and from what I can work out there’s 51mm of insertion depth for a socket. Does that sound right to you??

    Soil pipe fittings - WC move

    Good morning all, I'm looking to move my cloakroom (downstairs) WC. The intended location is 90 degrees in rotation and about 1m in pipe length from the current soil pipe pop-up through the slab. The previous WC position was sat directly above the pop-up and a long flexible pan connector was...

    Karndean & Levelling Compound

    Thanks for all the advice guys. Got it all up on Thursday night. It just lifted in places proving that it hadn't adhered to the slab properly.

    Radiator Circulation

    Good evening all, I'm mid-way through a project which has involved moving 2 radiators and branching off one of these to install a new radiator. I did all the first-fixing a while ago (drained down, made break-ins etc...) and today I have drained down again and made the final connections. I...

    Karndean & Levelling Compound

    OK cheers. It’s coming up fairly easy over the painted bit. Just a ball-ache having to do it when we told the builder what type of floor we were having!!

    Karndean & Levelling Compound

    How do I go about doing that? It’s a common slab so surely it will have a DPM across all of it otherwise moisture could get up through the garage slab and into the house??? Second opinion came round today and confirmed it so I’ve started scraping up the compound that’s been put down :(

    Karndean & Levelling Compound

    It’s an integral garage so I was under the impression the DPM covered the entire ground floor

    Karndean & Levelling Compound

    Hi, thanks for your post. I’m not sure if he primed the floor (I doubt it) but I will ask him. It’s a 3 year old house so I’m fairly sure it will have a DPM

    Karndean & Levelling Compound

    Hi all, We’re part way through a Utility Room project and have had a local company round to quote for some Karndean flooring to match our existing Kitchen/Dining Room. The guy that came round was very concerned with the levelling compound that the builder had used as in his opinion it was...

    Vaillant Home Regular 15 Start-up

    Hi, thanks for your help but I’ve got it going now. I bled all of the radiators and re-filled/pressurised the circuit and it has now fired and maintained so sorted now. Again, thanks for you help

    Vaillant Home Regular 15 Start-up

    Hi all. I’m having some work done at my house that’s involved taking a radiator off. I isolated the radiator last night so it would be cool this morning and the heating was working fine last night/this morning. I’ve come home to a note from the builder saying that the boiler needs...

    Edenhall Supplier?

    Hi, I’m trying to source some Edenhall Darlstone pitched walling blocks in buff to fill in a void that’s going to be left by the removal of an external door at my house. It’s a (relatively) new build that’s 3 years old. I’m moving the door further down the wall it’s currently fitted (so it...

    Below Ground Drainage Connection

    Cheers guys. I’m still pricing it all up really to decide how much to do myself or whether to get a firm in to do it all (main reason for it is for somewhere to put our wet/muddy pup after walks!!) I’ll get in touch with BC and see what they say. Thanks for the help
