Evening all,
I am looking to lay a reclaimed maple wood block (230x65mm) floor (herringbone pattern) on a concrete floor covered in ceramic tiles. Unfortunately it has not been possible to lift the tiles and so I'm looking for advice on best preparation/products. The floor is on the first floor...
The main doors (hollow) were sliding doors hung from a top rail with smaller hinged doors above - may have been the original fitted in 1970s when the flat was built. I removed all the original doors a few years ago when I first bought the place and was decorating. Replacing them has been a long...
Hi all, I'm about to replace the doors on two fitted wardrobes and was hoping for some advise.
The openings on the wardrobes measure H2350 x W1600mm and H2350 x W1240mm
My initial thoughts were to use 18 or 22mm V-grooved MDF with no reinforcement, the doors would be ~400mm wide (so as not to...
Hi all,
I've just laid a reclaimed maple parquet/wood block floor and I'm in the process of sourcing filler and finish.
After reading a lot my preference would be to go for Lecol 7500 and Blanchon hardwax oil. However I'm struggling to get hold of both locally in Bristol (in time for hiring the...
Hi,
Quick question to see what people do generally when fitting a wall mounted sink to a tiled wall.
The tiles aren't perfectly flat of course so what do most people put between the basin and tiles to take up the unevenness? I wouldn't be confident that silicon would spread the load across the...
I've got ~10mm clearance to slide the tray in. If it proves too difficult to hold the tray above the tile adhesive while sliding it in I'll use thin strips of timber as rails to keep it above and remove these once it's all the way in. The tray is very light so i think I should be able to manage...
Thanks for your quick response. Yes it is chip board :( which has now been glued and screwed to the plinth. However I did 'seal' both sides and the edges with the acrylic primer. I'm tanking the shower walls with Aquaseal so how about I put that on the chip board base before putting the tray...
These are the bedding instructions for the GRP shower tray I am installing (it looks like the GRP is moulded around a plastic base)
'Install the shower tray on a 15mm depth of weak cement
mix (sand/cement ratio 5:1). Tile adhesive can be used as
an alternate to sand or cement.
Please note if...

I'm not sure a compression fitting will close that big a gap.
Either way, a few more hours trawling the internet as yielded this website:

They seem to have the correct pipe sizes...
Unfortunately these are inside diameter's, the standard 50mm/2" pipe is ~56mm outside diameter. I actually assumed it was the standard 2" pipe and went out and bought the fittings only to find out there is 6mm of slop!
