any suggestions Chantelle, I cannot go down the electric route for a few (old wiring, rewiring cost, etc) reasons so as boiler is new and bathroom is a blank canvas at the moment I thought maybe a small under floor wet system may work for me.

Thanks for replying, All the systems I see look over complicated for my small 6ft by 6ft active floor space, is adding a manifold to run pipes from the only way?

What options are there for running ufh for a single small bathroom using my Worcester cdi29? It runs ch and hot water so Is this thought a bad idea? Just want to warm the floor in the bathroom.

Thanks for the reply, I have weber spf for the hardie so will use that for the board joints.

I have finally finished boarding out the bathroom with a combination of hardie (shower area and bath) and mr plasterboard around the rest of the walls and I know I need to tape and fill the hardie joints with alkaline tape and some of the tile adhesive I will use, my question is can I use this...

Someone else beat me too how to remove it!

I know the fire rating is to protect from external exposure of the electrics and heat rated (gu11)so as long as the housings are ip rated I should be ok to use in a higher than zone 2 fitting situation? Zone 2 is up to 2.25m my ceiling height is 2.45m so 17th regs have no problem with mains...

Am I correct thinking ip65 rated and gu10 led 4w bulbs fittings in a bathroom ceiling that is 2450 high is good and safe practice? Is a fire rated housing the same as ip65?

This is a picture of the worst bit of faceless brick. Also where do I get the ocr? I know my local stax stock weber products but not ocr!

render taken off brick face

Thanks skimmers, as I told Roy I started to remove some and stopped but the render is an inch thick, the faces of the brick that have been damaged aren't severe but faceless they are. I really want to take it all off but am worried about the damage it will cause, unless the damage is not serious...

Sorry to ask a daft question Roy but if the face of some bricks came off on an internal wall would re rendering them with a concrete render be acceptable repair before boarding out?

Thanks Roy, having spent the day locked in the bathroom I have managed to chip off the old skim from the solid concrete render. Took off 8mm of skim to reveal what appears to be the "concrete tile adhesive" used when the house was built! (circa 1935). Although no tiles are remaining you can...

Trying to re-board my bathroom and am happy to remove all and sundry from the bricks but having got to under the window in my small (2.4m x 2.2m) room I am faced with total rock solid concrete render that has a thin (3-5mm)skim on top, this extends about 1400 high under and to the left of the...
