Hi everyone, hope you are all safe and well. I will soon be fixing "Tier" contemporary stone panels to all the corners and either side of the front door to a new build bungalow. I am thinking that the panels would look a hell of a lot better if fixed down to the driveway and paths but obviously...

Hi everyone, hope you are all safe and well. Have posted this in this section as I'm thinking this is essentially exterior tiling. I will soon be fixing "Tier" contemporary stone panels to all the corners and either side of the front door to a new build bungalow. I am thinking that the panels...

Thanks for the reply, good diagram :) Looks like a goer so I'll crack on with that idea(y)

Hi everyone, Apologies if this has been done to death but I did do a search and cant find anything on this. Will be tiling a ensuite very soon and the customer wants brick bond pattern for the tiles. That's the easy bit :sneaky: If you can imagine looking at a rectangle from above but with...

As I said thanks to all who tried to help with this and I will treat the other comments with the contempt they deserve. Issue concluded

Yeah fine Dan !! expected a F@@@@@g answer like that from a so called "expert" !! I hope don't get the same response if you visit the builders section. Certainly wouldn't have you on my building site with an attitude like that, youre here to help arnt you ? not give people hassle and belittle...

I agree totally but they had already been contracted even before I went to view the house to price up. Same with the windows and doors which has also turned into a bit of a disaster :( Good news is the screed is in so all done. Screeders did a wonderful job. No floaty pipes and all looks go so...

useful comments from a few I don't think. I've provided info in the text and as "experts" in this field I would have thought id get some good feedback not sarcastic comments such as the above. I've been in building for a very long time, I'm not an idiot and I demand good workmanship for me and...

Hi guys thanks for all the replies. I have fitted further clips and of a much better quality. Sorry to disagree but its not a good installation its the worst ive seen. The bends are too tight therefore the pipe is not pushed down between the circular knobs on the mats. They have pushed the...

The customer is in complete agreement with me and it is her that gave the UFH subbies the extract from the screeders spec for what they wanted to see with regards to clipping down of pipes. All I want to know from someone on here that fits UFH is what is the correct spacing for pipe clips ...

hi. Yes very good idea if I knew the make which shouldn't be too hard to find out but in my own mind I know this is wrong and slapdash. Not looking for anyone to stick their neck out on this and I am more than capable of showing these guys the error of their ways but just need some input from...

Hi everyone, I am the main contractor overseeing the renovation of quite an old large property. This week we have the underfloor heating company, chosen and contracted by my customer, in to lay in all the UFH pipes, fit the manifolds and connect up ready to fill the system and pressurise ready...

if in doubt seal them

nope. plastic is no good plus plastic trims are pretty pants when it comes to a good finish much prefer metal

Hi everyone, Merry Christmas and a happy new year to come:) Have a little problem to solve on a platform for a bath to sit on that I have to tile. One of the corners of the rectangular platform is rounded off and I need to trim round this and along the straight edges. I am well aware that you...

Thanks to all who replied and thanks for the advice :) Cant use the old timbers as templates as these have gone, totally rotted and all different sizes of timber ! good idea though shame I cant use it. I would prefer to pitch the roof on the plates as is but it is going to be a head...

The roof is going to be re slated so the outside face of the timbers will have to pretty spot on. I did think of what I would call a reducing pitch which involves each set of roof timbers having a slightly diff pitch to keep the roof true. Thought also maybe getting the timber yard to sort out...

OMG !!! o_O £120 a day upward !! Please pass me on the names of all the brickies you know that will work for that amount and ill take the lot of them on :LOL:. Where I am you'll be lucky to get one for any less than £170/£180 a day.

Hi all:) Have just stripped the roof timbers off an out building only to find that the flank walls to both sides run out of level by possibly as much as 6 inches from one end to the other. This is info provided by the bricky who says it will be tricky to level this out with brick work and for...

Thanks for that, now have two options to sort this and as I said why do these people always engineer a simple fix, think im more than capable of centering two pipes so these s unions are a waste of space and as this stuff is german but for the uk market why don't they adapt the kit to suit our...
