Here’s a new picture showing the full corner where the DPM has been cut for @^woody^ and @Deluks I think I may have to remove some of the old brick edging to get any sort of overlap with DPM tape - unless you have other bright ideas.

Hi @Deluks yes there’s ventilation including an extractor. The walls are “tanked” to a degree - In that they have been treated with some form of damp-retarding coating. I suppose the DPM helps any small amount of humidity to stay the “correct” side of the skirting board - and the DPM or able...

Thanks @Deluks . Yup. Already poured. There are not only a load of holes and tears, there’s a corner section that’s been cut out! See my previous post for a picture: Thread 'Basement slab advice please - can torn membrane be fixed?'...

Hello! I need to fit a Honeywell Evohome TRV to this valve. Hard to tell but I think the diameter of the threaded area is 28mm. There is, I would say, 1mm between each thread. The height of the pin itself is 13mm. The height of the top of the pin from the top of the thread is about 20mm. Once...
