...could we lay 5mm ply then the 2mm underlay then click vinyl? If so, how best to stick ply down so there's no movement? Would is help or hinder the under floor heating? Thanks

Hi, (Sorry if answered elsewhere - couldn't find it) Short version: Is there some kind of thick underlay which can be used under click vinyl to raise its height to match adjoining tiles? Needs to allow heat transfer from under floor heating and not be too squishy for the vinyl planks. Long...

Hi, I have an alcove in the shower area of a wetroom running floor to ceiling, about 350mm wide and want to create some shelves inside but don't know how to construct and tank them for tiling. (In another room we have a niche cut into the stud wall which we will insert a Wedi/Dukka box into...

Lots of forums on this stuff but not the exact question. I have 3 wetrooms, 2 on ply and 1 on concrete. The plan was to sink a section for the shower area 1500 x 900 and envelope tiles into it but need to waterproof the rest of the room. The tiler has quoted to use Ditra mat with a section of...

Thank you all so much, yes it would be to remove the brick wall below the dormer end cheek. If replacing the whole wall is the only sensible option and it would probably need an amendment to planning and scaffolding too, then I think we need to rethink the internal layout. I posted the...

Hi Woody, thanks for your reply... Well it seems urgent to us as we have to make a decision on how to proceed before my husband flies out of the country tomorrow. (I won't bore you with the details of why we didn't know about this sooner!) Please can you explain what you mean by a beam at floor...

Desperately need some urgent help! We have a dormer with a brick cheek that runs down inside the house to the floor. We need to remove the wall inside the room but need to leave the end cheek in place. Is there any way we can support the brick cheek by fixing something sloped underneath -...
