Located in the North East. What is the current going rate for a tiler. Do pro's tend to charge more for tiling in natural stone (travetine, marble etc.) than ceramic. Total surface area (floor and wall ) - 15m2 I would like to remove the wood skirting from the bathroom and have tiles floor...

Before contacting LBAC check the indemnity policy terms and conditions. In some cases the policy is null and void if you make an approach to LBAC, and they subsequently require changes etc. Or even better get your solicitor to advise you. HTH

I have just fitted a new bathroom. I have built a very strong four sided solid frame for the bath. The bath sits underneath the existing tiles and I have then filled all gaps with Dow Cording sanitary silicon. When I tiled over the existing tiles they actually sit onto the bath, and again all...

Quick update, and rrequest for some more advice.... Replaced the flexi pan connector, with a shorter better quality one. No stress on the connector ... no leaks :) If I have learned anything from this it is not to buy cheap crap from well known diy warehouses..... On checking the fitting...

When you get broadband the wiring of your BT master socket does not change. If you want to run extensions, then simply wire a normal telephone extension and put a microfilter on the extension socket(s) that you have a PC connected to. HTH

Spent the afternoon wiring up the spur rcd.. switch etc... It works a treat.... I press the test button on the rcd and the lights and fan cut out. The double pole switch outside the bathroom switches fan and lights on. The only thing I am a little concerned about is on the rcd there is an led...

Will do ... although the halogens and the fan are not earthed ... so I will make sure the rcd unit and the double pole are earthed back to the junction box with the incoming and outgoing. Is this right? CHeers

Many thanks mate ... much appreciated. Cheers Trevor

Have cobbled together this rough diagram for the proposed wiring.... Does this look ok? Thanks for all your help. Chees

Thanks forthe warning .... The pipes come out of the wall approx. 30mm bend 90degrees upwards (length of pipe 60mm which meets the vlave and connects to the radiator... this should be standard set up? Cheers

Thanks mate. I remember as a kid my father taking radiators out when he wanted to decorate behind them .... and I still remember the hassle ... so I am not expecting it to go smoothly!!
