Hi all, I ordered some GTec Universal Bonding Compound 25kg from Ridgeons which I had delivered on the 01/03/18 and I just noticed that the expiry date on the side says 23/05/18 and was wondering if this is a short expiry date or is that the normal amount of time? I was hoping to of used it...

I do believe the metal stud work come in a range of sizes to suit doorways

I need to build a stud wall in my house and can not decide which material would be best, Metal or Wooden? The highest point is approx 3.4m going down to 2.4m and 4.3m long with a doorway. It will not be load bearing and the one advantage of using metal work that I can see is it will be straight...

These are great scrapers for this kind of problem http://www.toolstation.com/shop/p82217?mkwid=sZddKMgKb_dt&pcrid=142478673562&pkw=&pmt=&product=82217&gclid=Cj0KEQjw9YTJBRD0vKClruOsuOwBEiQA

Glad it's not leaking, when I had my roof first done it down poured and was checking it over for ages as was worried if it was done OK, they got more pitch on mine by putting flat roof under the window and taking it above eachside, sure there is a technical term for it :confused:

Found these that can go down to 10 degree, https://www.marleyeternit.co.uk/Roofing/Clay-Tiles/Melodie-Clay-Single-Interlocking-Pantile.aspx But if the builder has guaranteed the roof and you have something in writing to that effect I guess you can wait and see what happens.

Hard to find a roof tile that goes down to the pitch as it's a uncommon angle, could only find these that go down to 12.5 https://www.marleyeternit.co.uk/Roofing/Clay-Tiles/Melodie-Clay-Single-Interlocking-Pantile.aspx All I can see is a lot of problems in the future!

We are in clay and had a couple of trees about 2.3mtrs away and had to go 1.7m down and use clayboard on the inside wall of the trench, stupidly deep for a single storey build.

Is this one any good? http://www.sealantsonline.co.uk/Products/Geocel-201-external-polymer-mastic-sealant/GEO4123

Now the rains have come I remembered I need to run some kind of sealent down the expansion joint between the old brick work and the new build and was wondering what is the best stuff to use? Thanks

Exterior decorators caulk would do the job or a bit of CT1.

Looking at buying a decent combo drill and impact driver and have come across this one http://www.powertoolworld.co.uk/makita-dlx2131j-18v-cordless-2-piece-kit-dhp482-combi-dtd152-impact-driver-inc-2x-3ah-batteries and wondered if anyone has had these or recommend others for around £250.

I imagine it could be rectified, just depends on how much you are willing to spend should you need too and only you can make the final decision, you may be able to get quotes on how much it might cost.

9 tins used, you must have one very big house, should be getting 16m² per litre so that's 80m² per tin and 720m² with 9 tins even if you half that that is still a large area :confused: You can thin it one part water to ten parts paint and see if that improves the flow, I'm guessing it's been...

Hi all, Not sure if this is the right section to put this but I'm looking for maybe local people who may know of a company in Suffolk who can deliver ready mixed floor screed with fibres to me near ipswich, I tried Cemex but they wanted me to pay £300 for the part of the lorry load that was...
