Hi all, Due to wet rot and some badly installed plumbing leaving overly notched joists, I've decided to replacing my entire bathroom floor. I'm using TR26 47x150 spanning 2.9m at 400mm centres and have decided to baton the perimeter to get a perfect level. I'm battening into standard house...

Thanks Noseall & Woody, Woody, by lose ceiling height, I meant from the kitchen below. I want to level the ceiling of the kitchen and the floor of the bathroom which are the same joists. My preference for lifting the joists is that I don't lose any space from either room. Assuming it is an...

HI all, I have an old extension with a floor sloping approx 1" over the span of the room. I'm aware I can sister the joists or pack them out top and bottom to level out the floor, but once I've taken out the floor and the ceiling below (removed pipework, etc), ideally, I'd like to level out...

Sorry if I wasn't totally clear in my op - yes, the boards would be hanging at the stud wall. 3x2 it is then - and will fix as you describe. Perfect! Thank you so much for your time! :-)

Thanks for the reply... I'd rather do it properly to be honest (even though I am selling anyway - I like to do things as best I can). Reading through your second paragraph, how do I pack the joist top of the lowest joist when it has a stud wall on top of it? The only reason I thought...

HI, I'm levelling out a floor in an old (120yo) terrace. It's the upper landing floor with a span of approx 1m and it drops just over a cm. A stud wall has been built up over the furthermore joist, so will be trimming the boards flush to the joist and fastening some 50mm x 25mm timber to...

I know that, but that's the one with the cooker on it! I meant my options are limited with regard to placement near to a cooker. I would have opted for a extractor hood, but it's the old style cooker with the grill above and someone told me the hoods aren't so good with those. What would...

If I'm honest I don't understand the diagram. The electrician is certainly something I couldn't rule out, but I thought it would be a good opportunity to learn. Rest assured, as obtuse as I clearly appear to you, I'm not quite so daft as to have a go without having a relatively clear picture...

When I say above the cooker, I meant ceiling height above the cooker. Could you elaborate on why it would be so wrong to do that and where would be the best place to situate it? I only have one external wall with the door being on the far left, the cooker almost behind the door, a large...

Hi there, it's the one on page 169 under the heading DX400T/CF40/CF40TD.

One other thing sorry. In terms of situating the fan, would it be totally wrong to place it above the cooker between the back door and window. The replacement air should come from the kitchen door leading into the hallway rather than the back door, or window.

I'm sorry if you've had this one before, but I'm about to embark on fitting the above fan into my kitchen. I have a few questions if anyone has time to answer... 1) The fan connectors are: E, N, T, LH (High Speed), LL (Low Speed). Would the following be correct? E (Ceiling Rose) > E...
