Cheers crazydaze.

Just for future reference for this product. Had a reply from the technical helpline and I should use an SBR primer. PVA should not be used. Epp.

The thing is, I can't find any recommended primer. The product is No Nonsense Pro 50 Floor Levelling Compound from Screwfix. I cannot find a No Nonsense Latex Primer. Any other suggestions?

Hi, I just bought some SLC and it says to use a Latex primer on porous surfaces. I'm not sure what they mean by a Latex Primer. I have PVA which I was hoping to use but do they mean something else? Can anyone recommend a Latex Primer for this purpose? Many thanks for any help. Epp.

Hi, With regard to the wooden framework for a false ceiling, would it be safe to hang the cross beams from timber to masonry joist hangers which are fixed directly to the wall. As opposed to fixing the hangers to a wall plate. The size of the room is 2.5m x 4.5m and I will be fitting...

Many thanks. Will do.

Hi, Just recently, my toilet fill valve has begun not shutting off completly, resulting in the cistern slowly filling up and overflowing into the pan. The toilet is less than a year old and has a dual push button flush. The fill valve looks to be of the diaghram float valve type. My...

Many thanks for the replies everyone. Much appreciated. Epp.

Hi, I have a Worcester 24LE combi and 7 radiators. As most of the radiators are pretty old I was thinking of replacing 3 of them. I was wondering - when I take off the three radiators, drain them and replace them with new, the central heating system will now be 3 radiators full, short...
