Cheers, no issue spending extra but heard SBR is standard for sealing before tiling, website mentions it here below but was confused about mix ratio with water - bottle says 1:1 for general priming, online sources saying 1:4 for more watery mix to sink into wall. No worries though as just called...

Hi, super basic question, Okay to prime standard multifinish surface and left to dry the day before tiler comes, with Bond It SBR Admixture 1:1 with water? https://bond-it.co.uk/builders-complete-range/sbr-admixture/ Thanks!

Hi, basic question, any insight much appreciated. Looking to have an outdoor tap in my front porch fed from 15mm pex coming up from suspended floor. Pic 1 is inside porch, pex temporarily clipped to give an idea of pipe placement (ignore shoddy blockwork of booted cowboy builder!), pic 2 is...

Hi guys, super basic question: For a room layout like this, with my understanding that a lighting circuit downlight radial goes from one point to the next (whereas a socket radial can spur off in multiple directions), would this be acceptable, with the first downlight spurring off to feed two...

Much appreciated, is the DP preferred due to the extra 7A of breathing space? And safer as it's isolating the neutral as well as the live where I assume the FCU would only isolate the live in case of a fault?

Sorry John don't know what happened there, worked when I posted, have edited the OP hope it shows, the main socket circuit has a 20A breaker in 2.5mm T&E, with 1.5mm T&E coming off the 3A FCU feeding the floodlight.

Hi, apologies for the basic question In a radial circuit, is it permissable to spur off the supply side of an existing fused connection unit? As above, 3A FCU is feeding a floodlight, is it okay to spur off the supply side of the 3A FCU to feed a 13A FCU, isolating an outdoor socket? Cheers

The bond is terrible almost everywhere and the pointing is shoddy, I wouldn’t be happy with it… those external corners should and could be neater, more experienced brickie would have taken the time to cut the bricks to bond it around the corners instead of an ugly straight joint all the way up.

Cheers I think it's due to being a smaller kitchen, poor extraction unit before, solid brick walls with no cavity, and now a new dishwasher which is adding heat to an area that never had it before (no leaks there), some of the base unit backboards have holes for sockets etc so I'm sure...

Hi, Have just installed new kitchen base units myself along a wall that is outside facing, after a couple of months am having a bit of an issue with condensation and mould forming on the inside wall surface. Am planning to have a passive vent core-drilled into the wall to improve ventilation...

Hi, any help much appreciated. Upstairs room (semi detached) with outer facing wall has had damp issues in the past with mould - cause should be remedied now by problem roof tile and guttering issues. Doing some diy refurb many months later, I just applied (Dulux) Damp Seal to the wall which...
