That's fine mate, it's not easy with the variation now days. I'm getting a level ish on the vial when I put the spirit vertically, that vial reading was what worried me. Next worry is should I see any movement after screwing on 20mm Tilebacker (XPS)

Cheers, when you say bonding I take it you mean adhesive bond? This is a metal stud wall though ?

Mate says I can get away with higher runs of tile adhesive with what ive got.

I will be tiling my bathroom with porcelain 600x300's and focusing on the tilebacker at the moment. First Issue is I've got about 5mm out on a plumbline on a first metal stud wall and im sure the rest will be with issues so how to solve? I've thought about shimming with some plastic packers...

This section has old PB on thermalite and based om the section coming out its wrecked the thermalite. I will be tiling up to the window. In the second picture there is some 30mm gap between thermalite and where they splodged adhesive on before. Im reluctant to remove the PB as it runs around...

None of these as I've not bought one yet. Had a sparks round and it will go into PL that also feeds the extractor fan overrun.

Pipe Bending was a flaff but got the nack of it I had a few ripples but nothing to worry about on reviewing. I also went and bought a torch, in reality I really didn't want to worry about fixing compression fitting leaks on an elbow up in my loft and in a channelled bit of thermalite! Using...

Yes that would be the case. I was thinking about adding a switch live but would I be allowed to add this ? It's just on the Zone 1 and 300mm to the side of the bath/shower zone.

I will be installing a mirror with light in my bathroom. Not sure what one yet but my plan was run the power off of the last downlight straight through and use On/Off switch on the mirror? With walls not covered yet I've Got the options for wiring at the moment so any help is appreciated.

Been looking into what filler. Need 6 to 1 mortar (i think) wetting the blocks. Nothing is supported by this wall other than the gable end.

100mm block and 50mm chase

It will be tile backer with tiles. I will be filling in gaps with expanding foam.

Hi all im slightly concerned that ive chanelled too much thermalite block out. Its about 50mm for a shower valve. The channel on the right side can be filled in as that isnt needed now. Should I be worried and should I fill in with a mortar mix?

Will be London brick on the other side so guess so?

I was channelling out today and came across a thin metal wire. After shtting myself and reminding myself I wasn't on the floor with my hair on end it appeared to be a bit of galvanised metal. Interested to know what this is for if anyone knows or if it was just left there from build.

How big is the room OP? Will be doing cutouts for mine in the next few days. Two didn't cut it so I'll be doing a triangle with one just over the bath. I don't get the lights in eyes when in the bath statement, I usually sit upright contemplating life and would rather have light when using...

I inherited an unvented system from the previous owner and I am renovating my bathroom with a new shower that will be concealed so I want to get this whole thing done right and when I've got the chance with the best pressures and balanced cold feeds, and then also know when I do my ensuite I...
