Hi guys. Does anyone recognise the model of this bristan shower and have an idea what might be causing this issue when the shower is turned on? It stops when the shower is set to Off position. Many thanks!

Hi Ken, thanks for the reply. Yes you have it exactly correct. The cavity is an external wall above the RSJs as they support the external wall next to a flat roof extension. The cold air comes down the wall from the loft and between the RSJs

Hi lads. I’m about to box in these steel but want some advice if poss about trying to prevent cold air transfer from the cavity wall down through the plasterboard below the steel. The cavity wall above the steel runs up to the loft and let’s a lot of cold in. I can’t afdord to do cavity wall...

did you say earlier in the thread that the old bitumen paint needs a primer / blocker on it?

Cheers Robbie. Do you think I need primer or can paint Allcoat direct?

This the one? http://www.screwfix.com/p/zinsser-all-coat-exterior-paint-black-2-5ltr/

Fellas. Do you think that Allcoat can go over the old bitumen paint without primer? The bitumen paintwork is very very well led and faded.

Would you paint the whole lot with Zinseer Allcoat? I did buy some sandtex but think I'll take it back

Cheers Robbie.

hi. I've had my gable re timber cladded and rendered. It's been done with a hard wood. I'm keen to use a good quality paint. Would anyone recommend demideck, dulux, sandtex or jotun butinox? The existing timer that needs re painting is the original and I think was painted with a bitumen paint...

should I use hardwood to replace rotten gable trim or is treated softwood acceptable. Obviously a massive difference in price and will be painted black Couple of pics of my project here. https://instagram.com/p/BMR93lEBcv2/ https://instagram.com/p/BMR-oIShg6E/

Hey Woody, thanks for the reply. Any advice that you can share? What sort of size did you build etc?

Hey fellas, has anyone got experience or knowledge of doing a 'self build' orangery? Not really to just save on cost, but I fancy the challenge next spring. Can anyone recommend a research resource? I have a fairly large house and would be looking for an orangery sized approx 7 x 5m...

Cheers for the tip on the boards. I'll get some more in on Saturday.

Or if anyone knows a good plasterer in the bromsgrove area please give me a shout!
