We ordered this stuff from the carpet place, looks like it will do the job: https://www.screwfix.com/p/tredaire-softwalk-polyurethane-foam-carpet-underlay-9mm-15m/36534

They said it was tredaire softwalk 9mm, do you know it? We are going to put it under carpet like the one linked below: https://www.lifestyle-floors.co.uk/product-detail/city-twist-supreme/jade-heathers

Thanks for the tip. Someone was recommending getting tredaire 10mm if you know much about that one?

My father says the concrete floor is the original one that went in when the house was built in 1895, might actually be a good idea to have some damp proofing give it is well over a century old.

Thanks for the tip, I think I will go for the 11mm, a lot of reviews say it is worth the extra. My father wants to put this floor membrane linked below under the carpet and underlay, it is a concrete floor at the base, but personally I don't think there are many major issues with damp. They say...

I was going to buy this 11mm cloud 9 underlay like linked below: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Cloud-Cumulus-Carpet-Underlay-15-07/dp/B00J4JYEYG But my father thinks we should get the kind of underlay linked below as "You need an underlay that is studded to breathe underneath up behind the skirting...

Might this one be a good underlay? It says it is damp proof. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Waterproof-Membrane-Foil-Insulation-Waterproof-Prevent/dp/B08HQNRL9P

Hi, I'm thinking of putting a carpet down in a living room, one similar to the one found at the link below: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/UNIVERSAL-TIROL-GREEN-VELOUR-ACTION-HESSIAN-BACK-CARPET-8MM-THICK-/184274711692 I currently have a lino covering on top of a concrete flooring. When putting...

25mm is a bit too big, I might get a smaller conduit and drill bit around 16mm maybe. Yes we should be getting fiber to premises, the openreach fiber joint box is in our front garden.

How do I run Ethernet and fiber optic cable through an exterior wall? I have fiber optic internet coming and I want to run a POE Ethernet cable out to a CCTV camera through the same hole in the wall. I have the Polypropylene Flexible Conduit 25mm like listed at the link below...

I managed to get some second hand 5 meter sections of PVC coated galvanized steel for free after asking on facebook, I had to cut them up in to smaller 1.8 meter sections as that is the height of the back wall in my shed where it will go. I tried cutting the sections with tin snips as someone...

Yeah got a price and the sheets for a clear GRP roof were going to cost around £1000, so not going to do that. My options for roof sheets (enough for the whole roof) are to get 0.7mm plastic coated galvanized steel at approx £500, 0.5mm plain galvanized steel at approx £250 or another material...

We were thinking about replacing the whole roof with corrugated clear PVC, instead of just having one small section as a sky light, might as well make the whole thing a sky light. Has anyone done that before? The roof is around 9 meters with a 4.4 meter slope, so would need lengths 4.4 meters...

Yeah I saw that paint on amazon, one of the reviewers said they only got 2.4m2 out of a £24 750ml tin of it. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Hammerite-5097049-750ml-Direct-Galvanised/dp/B003IMKEEY Plastisol PVC coated galvanized steel seems to be £12 per m2 vs around £6 per m2 for bare galvanized...

I've found somewhere that does Galvanised Steel Corrugated Roofing Sheets for quite cheap, is it best practice to paint them before putting them up? If so does anyone know what paint to use?
