When you say 'backing boards' - if you mean hardie backer or equivalent cement board, you cant dob and dab it directly to the wall anyway. Well,...
Oh, and I ignored the instructions where they said to completely cover all areas with the membrane before tiling. Really? Put the membrane on the...
My understanding is that the primer is used to seal/stabilise any dusty or porous surfaces such as plaster or screed. I can tell you that the...
There's also an issue of flow rate - too low and you can get sludge build up, too high and you get noisy pipes. But more intuitively, there's not...
I was wondering the same thing as I'll be doing the same job shortly and I reckon I'll have the bath rim under the panel: 1 - You can get a nice...
I don't think you're overthinking it - just paying attention to detail that will only cost marginally more to implement. When I replaced my...
Thanks for that, if I can replace with a 65mm lintel at the top of the space the existing lintel sits in then that would solve the problem and I...
Hi all, I have an upstairs doorway into an extension with a door that is too short. I think it was originally a window in what was an external...

OK so presumably you have to start it draining before you can attach a hose to it then?
I've never seen one of these in the flesh. How do you open the drain off? Is that a plastic cap that you pop off to reveal an allen hex inside or...
OK, he's just rung me and said he's going to go to screwfix tomorrow and come back with a metal one. Looks to me like the only type that they...
Cheers, what would be the best type?
Many thanks for the reply. Well he's fitted it but I once again reiterated my doubt that this was correct. He's said he's going to check it out...
Hi all, I've got a guy here up on my roof at the moment to remove a spinning chimney cowl like this as it bangs loudly when there's wind. [IMG]...
Is it just the WC filling slowly/not at all where this problem manifests? If so then it sounds like a sticking fill valve. I had a similar issue....
Spray one seemed like it would be messy and the majority would get wasted. I used an artists brush to apply it. One coat all over the bathroom,...
