I’m struggling to understand the on-site guide table for Conduit factors for runs incorporating bends and long straight runs. (Table E4 amendment 3 on-site guide) - I’m out of date and need to do my 18th I know, but it isn’t something I use as a maintenance engineer. *This is just to get my head...

Did some more digging and got some loose silicone out and now I can see daylight!! Where would you suggest I seal? All the gaps?

Hi again, thought the problem was fixed after I sealed some small gaps on the outside, but it's comeback with the recent rain. I've took a side trim off upstairs where it seems to be worse, and here are the pics..... I can feel cold air coming through so that's obviously not right. Also there...

Hi Gaz, thanks again for your reply it's helping me out a lot! The green shaded area is where the unit meets the sill? These should only be sealed at each end I take it? Can this be done with the unit in place? I also have these plastic trims on the inside, do they need to be removed to make...

I will check the seals properly at the weekend. The only trim that was there, is still there. He's just skimmed up to it. What do you mean about sealing the cills? There is an upstairs bay that's rendered, the rest brickwork. Happening in them all though. Thanks!

Hi guys, hope this is the right place for this post! I bought a 1960's house this year that we've completely renovated, it has UPVC windows throughout but I don't know how old they are! (not ancient, but not brand new) We've had some plaster work done and now today after the first heavy rain...

Hi Guys, Ive just had my kitchen floor tiles in 2ft square polished porcelain tiles. They are from B&Q and are a Grey/Anthracite colour. The tilers has finished and there's still grout spots left over. There's also a 'Haze' look when you look at reflections in them. I've bought some residue...

Yeah I've got the liners for it too! - ah I'm glad that's ok then. Thanks for the reply! :)

Hi Guys, Ive recently ran a new water main pipe into our house, it comes up through the concrete floor in a room where i am currently fitting a kitchen. Somehow ive managed to bring it out the ground right on the joint of a unit, so it dosent fit. Its about 6-8 inches of MDPE then into the...

Thanks for the reply, I read that before posting my thread but there's also a question 2 below that one that says it isn't suitable for asphalt! Hence my confusion!

Hi, Just had an extension built on the rear of our house, creating a 25sqM room. Half is new concrete floor, the other is an existing black asphalt floor. The builder has levelled the concrete roughly to the asphalt but to lay the large 600 x 600 porcelain tiles we've chosen, the tiler has told...

Woah thanks Lucid, That's a tremendous post! I'll have a look through Satcures website.

Hi, Currently in the middle of renovating our house, it's practically back to bare brick and want to install some TV cabling before we plaster. (The house only has one cable entering the rear) I want to move the incoming cable to the front of the house, then run one to three other rooms. I...

Perfect! I've literally been searching an hour and couldn't find anything! Must have missed it. Thanks pal! :)

hi guys, Just run a new 25mm MDPE water supply to my house and it's currently waiting to be connected by United utilities. I've got a plumber to connect it to the rest of my system, but I need to get a stop cock and drain (cock?) I've had a look online and can find a suitable MDPE to copper...
