Hi, ok I've not fixed to this type of wall before when it's internal I'm afraid but a similar situation seems to have been discussed before (shelf fixing - below) and may be of help? //www.diynot.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=69540

Is this an internal or external wall? If this is external I would put my fastenings into the block work behind this stud work using frame fixers. The plasterboard won't then be supporting the weight of the tv directly. Still make sure that the bracket being used is touching sufficient area of...

Hi, we're due to move house in the next couple of months, with the new house having an open fire in the living room. We've asked about the state of the fire (last time chimney was swept? is it lined? etc) to current owners but getting vague responses. The house is only 10 years old and was...

Just following on from the above post, if you DO have isolators already fitted then this will make your life considerably easier as 1) you can turn both H and C feeds to the taps off without touching water to the rest of the house (as already described), but also 2) if the valves are compression...

I'd have to check the exact make / model as I don't have the information with me, but it's the one (below) from toolstation http://www.toolstation.com/shop/Taps+Showers/Shower+Valves/Contemporary+Thermostatic+Bar+Mixer+Valve/d240/sd3000/p97976 EDITED: Just checked and it's a DEVA...

I not a tiler and there's much more experienced people around here, but I have recently gutted and refitted a bathroom and can at least offer some advice. I think that removing the sink is the easiest (and quickest) option, as cutting through tiles that are fixed to a wall is near impossible...

Cheers Picasso, I can't remember where I saw the increase in temperature idea I'm afraid - stumbled across it when searching for a solution, but to be honest I was more than a little dubious how increasing temp by 5oC would solve the problem. Would the non-return valve be inside the mixer itself...

Hi, 1st time posting to DIYnot and I've searched the Wiki with no luck so apologies if this has already been covered elsewhere (and if so could you point me in the right direction - ta). I have recently refurbished our en suite and am having a problem with the thermostatic bar mixer shower...

Hi Paul I don't have a solution for you I'm afraid, but am having the same problem with the same model and was wondering if you'd managed to find a solution from elsewhere? Thanks in advance, Jim.
