Hi, We have used the osmo hardwax oil quite alot, but not had an over application problem ourselves. This application guide has lots of info about remedying though: http://artistico.co.uk/upload/OSMO%20Application%20Directions.pdf Hope that helps!

Yeah, its already bought, its for the whole floor.not just the mosaic bit. And the kitchen floor.too

Hi richard, That addy is for the main floor not specifically the mosaic border, and also the kitchen floor (wihich is going to be large slate) both onto ply on joists, no noticeable deflection, but the addy was what bal recommended for that situation. We wondered if it was overkill, but...

Hi, We would like to create a mosaic border for the edge of the bathroom. In consultation with BAL we have purchased the single part fast flex which we will use with admix ad1, and recommended as a deep bed solid bed application. The tiles are not as small as most of the ready made mesh...

I don't know if you can get poles that will form corners effectively, but you certainly can get bendy curtain rails for the hooks to run along which you can bend round the corners and then run 1 pair of curtains. How these, or any poles with corners if such a thing exists, will work with 90...

I think we paid 250 for our calcs for removing a wall. If this was a rip off please don't tell me :wink: However this also included a couple of redrafts of the calcs as new issues came to light and he didn't charge anything for these. He has also done a few site visits on weekends and also...

Hi, We are curerntly doing a big renovation project, and one part of that was to knock downt he wall between the old kitchen and dining room, and move the kitchen into what was the dining room. When we spoke to BC about this they said there was nothing to notify regarding the move of...

Thanks Matthew, Will check out those ranges and have a chat with the other half (probably more able to work out what sort of fitting will suit us best). Thanks for the help.

Thanks Matthew, You have pretty much just spoken a foreign language to me, so I'mm off too google these things you mention! Cheers for the recommendation. DM ETA: just found this: http://www.vent-axia.com/product/vent-axia-solo-htp-humiditytimer.html is this the sort of thing...

Hi all, I know that what extractor I need will depend on the size of bathroom etc, and I will be able to work out extraction rates and the like. But can any one recommend a good quality, reliable good value and preferably quiet humidistat extractor? I have had a quick google and there...

Lol! Well bco is coming tomorrow so we'll see.if he picks us up on it.

Hi All, Just a quick query about this 25% rule around thermal elements. Is it 25% of thermal elements (e.g. plaster on external walls, or ground floor floors) across the whole house, or in a room, or what? I had assumed it was 25% of any given section, but have just read something that...

Sorry, OH = Other Half very little flex meaning little discernable movement, but totally down I mean when not all the sheets of ply were afixed to the joists.

Hi Richard, Will have a proper measure as soon as I can, and will call BAL as you suggest. I think if we are at all unsure we will go for the higher spec adhesive and grout to make sure. We should be able to try and measure the flex too, we have a laser level and a ruler so will give...

Thanks Richard, That's a job for this week then, going and jumping about on the floor, seeing how much it moves and working out what the hell to do about it :D would an additional layer of 6mm ply or somesuch make any difference? or is it really down to the joists not the surface at...
