I am clipping some pipework to brick behind a dot and Dab plasterboard wall (pipework for radiator) I am using foam to fill in the gaps/channel around the pipework prior to a final slim coat Can I use plasterboard adhesive foam for the job? Or so I need standard expanding foam? I’ve got an...

Okay thanks. Do you think I will need to cut the whole channel out (left to right) or will I get away with cutting out ‘hatches’ and feeding pipes through? Cheers

Hi Currently my radiator pipework looks like this but I am installing a new column rad I want to put the pipework behind the wall so it pops out where the valves are… just going to use pushfit behind wall with cooper tails coming out. I’m wallpapering over the finished article…. Can I just...

Hi, I have boarded over a repair and there is 2mm to ‘skim’ it level with the surrounding wall. I am going to be wallpapering over it so I don’t need a paint like finish Would it be suitable to do the job with some plasterboard adhesive? I have a huge bag remaining and seems OTT to have to buy...

I think I’m just going to drill through it and go into a bit of block work aswel, belts and braces

Wow, this radiator job isn’t going to plan. I drilled through an electrical cable last night. Anyhow, while I sorted it out I screwed some timber to the wall, and I’ve also done similar for one of the lower brackets where the plaster blew while drilling holes Just after some advice. The...

I have cut and screwed some timber to the wall behind as suggested, Cheers for advice

That’s exactly what I’ve used It’s ended like this and the front 40mm of real plug is loose There is also another screw going in above hence the big gap

I’ve been drilling for brackets today on a dot and dab wall and the plasterboard opened up a big gap, 3/4 times the size of the plug…. I have some plasterboard adhesive lying around …. Considering I am hanging a heavy radiator, would it be ok to just shove a big blob of plasterboard adhesive in...

Hi, what are these screws called? I am installing a very heavy column radiator using core fix plugs. The screws that come with the core fix don’t have flat heads, which I need to act as a washer effectively. Does anyone know where I can find the screws below… 3mmx100mm or 3mm x 90mm ideally...

Cheers It’s a kitchen and 4m x 4m standard 2 bed mid terraced

I am installing a 1800x600 column / vertical radiator I have 170mm high skirting board I plan on installing the radiator so that the bottom of the radiator is 110mm/4.5inches above the top of skirting board Is this about right? Cheers

I have the tall skirting board (180mm) and I’m looking to get a new shoe cabinet Unfortunately the ones I like, the maximum height of the legs is 130mm, and I want it to sit flush to the wall rather than having a gap, because it’ll bug me every time I walk in my door and see a 18-20mm gap...

May seem a bit silly question, but is it okay to install a brass drain valve on a vertical copper pipe (using a T piece) that goes into a radiator valve? Or do I need to install it on the horizontal pipe run before the vertical?
