Hi All, Just looking for some advice. We have a utility/storage room at the front of our house, the utility room being the point of entry and the storage room being to the left side separated by a door way. The utility room has a fully plastered ceiling but the storage room is just bare...

Cheers for the info, I'll grab some of that. A friend tells me a newly plasterboard ceiling should only need 1 coat, I was under the impression you put two on, one nice and flat the other nice and smooth. Is he correct? Thanks

Hi All, I have just finished plasterboarding my downstairs bathroom and I am now looking towards skimming and tiling. A friend of mine is a bathroom fitter so he is going to help me with the tiling. Before doing that though I need to get the ceiling skimmed, not really sure if it is...

Ok, thanks for setting me straight. Most of this is a learning curve for me so I appreciate the advice. Thanks again.

Thanks again, Heating for the bathroom will be a towel rail and underfloor heating will also be fitted, I know neither of these are that effective when compared to a decent radiator but with it only being a small room I was wondering if the insulation would help? The rest of the house has...

Thanks for the reply. I only have this skethcup image at the moment as I am at work. Hope it helps.

Hi all, Sorry if this is the wrong area but I wasn't sure where to post. I need to start thinking about what kind of insulation to use in our small downstairs bathroom as there is not long to go now until I can fit the plasterboard. To give you an overview of the wall types: 1x...

Thanks for the replies, had no internet for a week and only just got round to replying. If I can get down to below the boss (which will be difficult) what would you recommend for cutting? The gaps around the pipe are rather small (currently filled with expanding foam which I will remove)...

Hello all, I'm currently in the middle or refurbishing the downstairs bathroom which has an internal soil pipe. I need to either rotate or replace the current boss as the socket for the toilet is 90 degree in the wrong direction. From what I have read rotating it will most like result in...

My Bathroom Refurb

Thanks for the reply. I would imagine there is some insulation behind the plasterboard as I would of thought the room would be quite cold without, just thought I would use insulated plasterboard help keep it that bit warmer. I will be measuring the exact position the TV will be going and...

Hi all, In the next few weeks I am going to start a project in the living room to turn my living room TV area into a floating wall with the TV mounted to it. It is an external wall 10ft x 7.5ft and just plasterboard on the inside but brick on the outside, so I obviously need to mount...
