gary a clear silicone should do the job and won`t fall out. put some masking tape on the brick first under the external cill and cut back the nozzle on the cartridge to it`s widest point and this should cover the 8mm gap when applying the silicone. smooth it with a damp finger but clean your...

Dry line the inside ,Kingspan do a range or battern the wall, fill inbetween the batterns with polystyrene, polythene over the area. Plasterboard, skim or tape joint. decorate, jobs a good un :D

Put a level between the two transtion to see what you have to cope with and bridge that part with one tile if you can, have a bit of a dry run before to see how the tiles are going to work out. You could always lay exterior grade plywoood on the wood floor to bring it up to level, but nail it...

Just soapy water should do it, I use one of those floor mops with a round sponge on the end, they soak up water and hold on to it.does a good job on my floors, most diy shops stock them :P

in the past i have used one of those long handled wall paper scrapers with renewable blades. you can get a good grip with this tool but dont try and take to much off at once. wear gloves, safety glasses as well 8)

Mike, if your going to make a proper job take the little bleeders up I bet you got one of those tile spacers under one corner or if it is the floor scrape it clean, have a dummy run with loose tile and find the offender, take some of the screed out, clean out and relay, Job done :lol:

I dont think so franco if its not damp top and bottom the tiles are soaked and the adhesive is loose. Can you post a pic for us all to have a look at. Whats behind the wall is it another room? could there be pipes from that room?

The chipboard will be weakened because the fibres have broken down in the board, is this the bottom shelf of the cupboard?

You can buy sealant removal gel and this makes it easier to remove the sealant from the tray, also I use one of those little round stainless steel scouerer balls.Take all the sealant off the tiles too and cut out any old sealant inbetween the tiles and the tray. hoover out all the bits and give...
