Thank you, sorry I didn't get an email notifying me of replies. I will try the above! thank you for your help.

Hi All, I think this might be quite simple as there are literally 4 cables but thought i would ask you guru's!! My plasterer (very good and conscientious) decided to remove the fire alarms and the internal alarm siren from the ceilings/walls in order to plaster behind... this of course has...

Thanks Vinn, I am not trying to reduce it per se. The position of the extraction to outside is set. The builders have bricked in a section of soil pipe. So the final outlet is 110mm. There is no way my husband is going to agree to knocking this out of the wall and cutting a bigger hole. I had...

Thank so chappers. I'm happy to run 150mm but at one point I will have to make it smaller to fit through the opening I have so I guess just use maximum 150mm and minimum 100mm. Not ideal as I'd like to have run one continuous length but will just have to make the best of a bad job I guess

Thanks all. It's a NEFF D49ML54N0B. I do have a small side issue, which was the main reason for going for 100mm ducting. As the kitchen is in the middle of the house the duct is to run in the ceiling (floor space to the first part of outside wall, I can't really make the hole any bigger tha...

Do you think 150mm is overkill? I had bought 100mm ducting and was going to use that for the bathroom extractor and kitchen. He said to my husband (I wasn't there) 100mm is much too small. I had already found a 110mm-100mm reducer so thought I was all sorted until He said 150mm required...

Hello all. This may sound a silly question but how's best to connect 150mm ducting to a 110mm pipe? Our business have left a small bit of soil pipe sticking out for the kitchen extractor. I was going to reduce the pipe to 100mm ducting but the kitchen surveyor said that it's too small and that...

Thanks. I'll pop down to the wood yard I normally use tomorrow and have a chat. Thanks for your help!!

Sorry I sent this from work and got it all round my neck! The block width is 4in and the cls plus plasterboard is 2in. So ideally I'd need 6.5x2 I think which doesn't exist (I don't think) Should i still look to glue 2 bits together? Thanks for your time (and patience) Louise

Good Morning DIY Not Guru's I wonder if one of you lovely people can offer me some advice. We are finishing off (soonish hopefully) a house extension, we are torn between my father in law who purportedly knows everything to asking Google - but somethings we are just not sure of. We have...

Thank you all for your replies, I don't "need" to insulate under the rafter but I wasn't sure if i should, there is a lot of information onthe celotex website and maybe a little too much as its not clear to me exactly what product I need to use, I will do some more research. Thanks Louise

Thank you for your reply. Sorry I posted the above in a rush as kids were jumping around. It is a pitched, tiled (white roofing membrane vent 3 classic) with a single large velux. The roofing "timbers" are 8x2 in size as i was measuring them to ensure to work our what product i would need to...

Good Afternoon, We have recently had an extension built in order to keep costs down we are trying to do a lot of the internal finishing ourselves :-/ We have a double storey wrap around extension on a demi detached house - on the attached side we have a single storey element that is a pitched...

Good Afternoon, Sorry if this has been asked and answered before i did a search for screed in the forum but its wasnt coming up with anything that gave me the answer. We have just had an extension (shell completed), long story but we are no longer using the builders or their contacts for the...

Good Afternoon, We are currently in the throes of a house extension, part of which is a side extension with a bedroom above the garage. I am just calculating how many sheets of plasterboard to order for the ground floor ceilings and was wondering if anyone could point me in the right...
