If the sheets come off complete, they are exceptionally low risk. I suited and masked up to do mine, but just crawled on it and undid all the screws. The panels just slid out with only 1 crack on the corner of one. I cleared the double length garage roof in 2 hours on my own, then double...

Looks like old windows to me, bit wider at the bottom where sills were? Pebbledash is very hard to match

Yes I will be getting a floor layer in for this now - they are used to laying over it so know it needs to be good. Im hoping a couple of mm higher wont be noticeable.

I cannot feel anything, just see it so I guess it's minor Thats what I hoped to hear to be honest - it's not all my fault :) I did also slightly thin it, but was worried having read excessive water can interfere with the vinyl, again causing the issues I have!

Good evening all, A plasterer 'helped me out' with self levelling a floor a few days ago (Having plastered the room very well). The result is far from great, with it being about the right level in some places, but down to 4mm shallow in many other places. The whole thing needed about 5mm over...

I got a special value 7.5l tub of this paint last week. I have used it on a ceiling, and in certain lights you can see every roller line. They cant be felt on the ceiling, and when the light isn't hitting it the job looks decent. Have I picked a bad paint for this? Should I have used...

There is absolutely no issue with using 4mm T+E. Unless you move your oven out every other week to clean it, of course.

Mesh may be unnecessary, we didnt do it. But fit the UFH pipe inside 25mm tube 150mm each side of the transition so it can move

He's not logged in for 3 1/2 years......!

We did ours much like your first illustration. Of course until the building is rendered, water will track along the beam in either case. Looking end on at the beams, I found using concrete bricks with a generous bed of mortar filled the gaps between the block work below and the floor blocks...

I prefer these, as it's all in one: https://www.tlc-direct.co.uk/Products/ASJ803.html (Say Ashley, but Hager ones are absolutely identical) They also do a 4-terminal one, useful for extending 2-way lighting.

Thoughts on PX Cables? That's what all 3 trade outlets in Jersey now stock... when mentioning TLC to them, they immediately say it's far better, and TLC cable may not even meet required standards (TLC 8 years ago sold Prysmian, but apparently their own brand these days).

Substitute the seal for a good load of CT1 sealant, worked well for me.

I did this today. 4 plasterboard screws from the board into the timber, and a generous helping of Sticks Like where it was covering the pebbledashed masonary. Seems nice and solid, so hopefully it doesn't crack :)

Yes, it's your home and so affects everything you do. But, you will get it resolved with a new builder and in a year or so all will be done, completed, and you will look back at the challenges from your new improved space, and it will seem far better. Trust me, I'm 2 1/2 years into a self...

A drainage plan would seem excessive, you just need someone competent to lay the drains properly, and it can then be signed off. As others say, you need to separate getting the house sorted from the old builder. Find someone to take on the work, and as a completely separate task try and get...

One of these would help: https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B003JTCONU/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1 The half sink pipe can be reduced to nearly nothing, so the whole lot would be a reasonable amount higher.

I prefer the solid wall feel tbh....! Costs me a bit more I know....

I do have loads, the wall is going to need a coat of hardwall, so lipping some 9.5mm plasterboard onto the wall all around, with some Sticks Like behind, would be easy. Thanks for that…. I’d not even considered it and it should be great for preventing cracking!

Hi all, I am fitting some door linings into openings that used to have external doors in them, and are about 100mm too tall. What's the best way to fill the gaps, and avoid cracking? I was thinking of fixing a piece of timber in to the lintel (Avoiding the lining), and plaster boarding or...
