Hi, I have a small nick in some armour covered electrical cable, can I use installation tape to cover it up? the nick is just the plastic covering of the cable and is about 2cm is in diameter. Many thanks in advance

So does a drop down stair count as permanent? But then there is no real money saved!! I am just trying to think of a way of getting the loft more usable without doing it all at once...as the that comes at a high price tag!!

And presumably I have to comply to building regs?

Hi, I am looking to convert the loft with a dorma etc. Do I have to have landing and fire doors? Or is there any why I can have the stairs just going directly into the loft with a balustrade? I am happy to call it a loft and not a bedroom etc!!

That is all way to technical... :) But we are not moving the pipes from the void, the whole point was to have pipes in the wall and not showing. It was easier to run them in the wall from the ceiling down than the floor up. Not sure on the pipe size, I would presume that what is needed...

no a real plumber is fitting the pump and connecting up the loo sink etc. :) I think the pipes can be moved...the ones waiting for a pump that is never coming. If not they will have to run them down from the loft back into the airing cupboard. Mr Salamander - It seems you have strict...

Many thanks Karis... We wouldn't be in this little pickle if the brother in law who fitted the hot and cold pipes for a loft based pump, had known that you cannot have a pump on the same level the water tank. Or the hot and cold water pipes into the shower being in the loft void (and...

Many thanks for that, it sound a lot quieter than my old shower with built in pump. Which will please the wife!! Just a shame we can't have it in the loft!! Anyway will hunt out a stuart or salamander as they appear to have the build quality. oh a slab of concrete!!

Many thanks for that. I didn't notice Mr Salamander's name!! It's been a long week!! Although cheap would be good, I think I am going to have to splash out, as we never bargined on having the pump in the airing cupboard!! But then I never knew you couldn't have a pump on the same...

You are so right.... But I was hoping that an expert or at least someone with a minute or two more experience that me in these matters might be able to point me in the direction of a manufacturer/model. Or even ones to stay away from Many thanks

Hi, I am looking for a quiet cost effective negative shower/water pump. Can anyone recommend one? Many thanks

Hi many thanks for the help, unfortunately, there is not enough head height in the kitchen for additional layer of plaster board. And although I am happy to use just rockwool, some people have said that xyz or abc is better as there is better sound retarding than plain rockwool

Whats a Euro Pan? Without or without water?

Well I am not that happy to hear the splish and splash of what is going on in the bathroom...so I would like some sound retarding ...

Hi, I am trying to find out what would be the best insulation for the void between my kitchen and bathroom. There seems to be so much out there, I am finding it hard to decide what would be good or not!! Added to that, as soon as I mention sound insulation, or helping to stop the...
