Hi, I am planning on laying 9mm Cloud 9 Cirrus onto wooden floorboards upstairs. Do I need a membrane of some sort to stop dirt/dust coming up through the underlay? Also, while I am here - What are the pros and cons for foam over rubber underlay? Thanks for any replies in advance...

I read in my DIY manual that it is cheaper to put a fence up using wood posts rather than concrete, but my experience costing wooden posts against concrete is that after you have bought the stakes for the ground and the fixings, then the wooden option is more expensive. Is the DIY manual wrong?

I am looking for a bi-fold door and have come across NAT. What does this mean? - Some have NAT 23 and others NAT 26? Cheers

My builder tells me that you can have boilers fitted outside to external walls (I assume with some sort of environmental protection). It makes sense to me in that it avoids you having to use space in the kitchen (or elsewhere) and any noise issues must be less. Cold weather would be my main...

Haven't got a PhD, but can normally stretch to a watertight joint. Thanks for your input.

Tony. Thanks for your reply. I didn't know that CORGI had to do the fixings and flue etc. From reading a number of postings on DIY sites I got the impression that a competent DIYer could do most of the work themselves but needed a CORGI to do the gas. (I understand that they will want to do...

ChrisR Thanks for the speedy reply. I am only a DIYer and not CORGI registered. I am looking at doing most of the work myself - fixing boiler, water pipes, condesing waste pipe and flue. I would be getting a CORGI guy in to do gas connection and commissioning work. My main concern is whether...

I currently have a back boiler which I intend replacing with a Worcester Greenstar 30CDI conventional boiler installed in the loft. I have read some threads about putting in a separate isolation point to isolate the boiler alone and this seems like a good idea. I have god flor boards, lighting...
