It was from Victoria plumbing who are crap to contact, waiting for their technical department to reply but not holding my breath. Just fitted a trajan bath that was curved on shower screen side, didn't spot until in, in my own house and son soaked floor on first shower So not keen to fit this...

Hi, fitting a Milan L Shaped bath and have spotted the top surface the hinged shower screen sits on isn't very flat, it has a curve in it with 6mm gap at wall and and about 3mm at L point. I've attached pictures. I personally think this is too much of a curve to fit, what's others opinions? Thanks

Hi Ban-all-sheds, it's as apex on the left. That's not a bad idea, I'll have a look at how it would look. Cheers

Hi, beam is 100mm wide and the ceiling will be white when finished.

Hi Berardgreen, panel looks good, but we have a vaulted ceiling so would need one either side, and they may look a tad cumbersome. As it's a insulated vaulted ceiling with a glulam beam running down the middle we have 2 options. Either down lights as should be able to squeeze 50mm depth in...

Hi, cheers for reply. Might be able to get 50mm in, depends on any gap required at back. Thanks

Hi Morticer, did you find a solution to your down light problem, as I'm looking for shallow down lights as well. Cheers

Using 240mm lead, about 165 over tile so that it goes into lower bit of profile and 75mm upstand, so should be water tight!

Ok, cheers for reply. Walking around there's plenty of profiled tiles with soakers and didn't spot to many people crying that their roof wouldn't stop leaking - and I live in Wales :wink:

Cheers for reply Roofspecialistslondon. As I've fitted the cavity trays with pre-installed short lead I've got no choice but to use soakers, or remove lead from trays and replace, which isn't really an option. Assume there isn't really a problem with soakers apart from uglyness, which isn't a...

Hi, just finishing off my roof on an extension. I've fitted cavity trays with short lead as my BC guy said he wanted soakers on the tiles. The only thing is that I'm using profiled tiles (Redland Renown), which apparently shouldn't have soakers, just stepped flashing. Is it still fine to use...

Cheers for replies. To be honest it wasn't even 2mm in the end, just looked bigger. I couldn't find a spec for allowable tolerance anywhere online when I looked! The wall that was previously built for the extension definitely wasn't built with close tolerances in mind, the guy must of been...

Ok, cheers for reply. Engineer by trade and 2mm would be 'it's a scrapper!', so half torn between what I've seen :shock: , and what I expect the BC guy is going to want to see. Got to relax a bit more :D

Hi, I'm just finishing building a cut roof. I wondered what the allowable deviation is between rafter heights. They're all basically level, but I've cut my last one and its about 2mm below adjacent ones. Is this acceptable, and what is the acceptable deviation? Any answers much appreciated as...

Thanks Catlad, would you put just 2 nails one either side, or 4 in 2"x5" rafters. Cheers
