Thank you for the detail, really appreciate it - about 15m2 is the room, i'll have to send some pictures when it done but seems like I have a plan!

Yes, I was looking at a 19mm x 38mm batten, and probably using OSB board between the joist rather than the original timbers. The original timbers would definitely be stronger, lot of cutting though

Thanks for the advice, Right now there are 18mm solid wooden planks on top of the joists (assume the original floor). My plan was to remove these, add the celotex and work on top of that, not to add to much floor hight. (360mm between centers) I am laying a 20mm Herringbone engineered oak...

Yes, I was surprised. I thought they would be at least 6" - but the house is 100 years old and its a floating floor. So i think 2"x1" batton on the joists, Add 50mm of celotex, which brings it inline with the top of the joist. Add XPS and run pipe and then i would pour liquid screed, but i had...

Just found out that my joists are like 4 inches, so plan 2 is the only option. overboard and screed

Any guidance on the timber size for holding the Celotex?

Hi Everyone, Recently moved into a 1920's mid-terrace. We're planning to add underfloor heating downstairs and i've been looking at the best way, plan to do most of the work myself. There are 2 options im considering, 1) Remove floorboard, add a timber to joist, sit 100mm celotex 120mm down...

I installed 3 meters of ducting before the wall kit - https://www.toolstation.com/wall-kit/p83154 The extractor fan comes with a back draft protection, but i wanted to ask if I should have got a external wall grill that closes or is this good enough for the kitchen extractor.

Hi Everyone, Quite mundane but still it needs an answer, could anyone recommend where to buy a stainless steal laminate flooring(13mm) to tile door bar - i need two and prefer to buy online, The last couple ones i brought were awful (stick to the floor - didn't work and screw inadequate)...

Hi Everyone, This might be a challenge. I brought a flat a few months back which was the same as my old one (just a floor up). Now the flat is 4 years old eco build (so there is only one boiler for all flats) and there a 3 small radiators. When turning the heating on usually there is a...

Next time i'll read the full spec before buying an oven

Yes i kept it to a meter, but now i have 9m spare - any takers in london......

Hi Community, I brought a single electric oven 13A, 2.3Kw 240v But it came with no cable, I've been told I can use 3 CORE HEAT RESISTANT FLEX CABLE 1.5MM which i can pick up at wickes (close by) Is this suitable and good for long term - see link...

Thanks Guys, I'll take you advice on board and drop in to a local hardware store for some cutting blades.

Hi Guys, A simple question but one i think is important - i need to cut two edges off to make the panel fit and i'm questioning what tool to use. The back panel is a white gloss slab. 1: Circular saw 2: Fine cut - manual saw 3: Standard wood saw These are the 3 I have to hand but can...
