i have a 2 shower setup running off a salamander rsp75 pump (2.25bar) hooked up to a chest height standard vented hot water cylinder. this is hooked up with 22mm all the way to each shower before short runs of 15mm. problem is i can only get 2-3 decent showers out of the hwt before it...

hah - i know what you mean. the guy who came spotted a small dip in the hall i hadnt noticed, and was smelling all the time (a manky dustsheet that got wet yesterday threw him a bit). damp readings were all less than 16 (mostly 11 ish) no idea of units, on his damp meter and he seemed happy...

thanks- my pref is clearly to go for the easy option. may need to do some persuading on going for this option. what concerns me is the cost is going to be huge for the full dig up, screed and stickdown. cost of 50m2 of screed 7mm deep alone is going to be high. what type of underlay shd i...

excellent info - all much appreciated. would go for engineered but have a deal on some decent solid thats not avail on equiv engineered. over 60m2 that makes a big diff!

sounds good. i'm guessing the concrete does have dpm in it, since it only has carpet and underlay sitting on top of it right now. i've got another fitter comeing round to opine and test. nice to have a view before hand tho. out of interest one guy said to level the parquet floor up to the...

hi have read all the similar posts but still unsure about this. i have about 50m2 of parquet living dining and 10 of concrete extension. I really really do not want to have to lift the parquet and bitumen. I cant really lay wood over whole area as it will take level up to high (ply + foam...
