This is no issue with the wall and there is no damp at all. The wall is in fact used to be external but now internal as we have built a single lean-to extension on it and extended out by 2.8m. It was plastered ok but was still uneven. We are thinking of fixing it by re-filling the holes with...

What would you use for dot n dab? Would this alone be enough to hold plasterboard in place? The wall is 2.5m x 1.8m.

True, but the ones we have are Geo Panels 5mm thickness but they also need true plumb walls unless of course we put plasterboard without fixing several holes in the walls which means we would need a lot of pollyfillers :( Yes we have already considered Gyproc Drywall or Stud Adhesives with screw...

Hi Experts / Professionals and Experienced Trademen, We prepped the stone wall by removing most of the old wallpaper but it's an uneven wall. Once all the old wallpapers were more or less scrapped off, we then applied PVA glue and plastered the wall with just sand and cement which we mixed...

Thanks

What are the restrictions regarding building a learn-to before planning permission is required? I know for a start that the extended length must not be more than 3m for a terraced house and that there should be an external door between the learn-to and the main building. Unsure of the width and...

Do we need a PP to build a lean-to at the rear of the terraced property in Roath in Cardiff? The max height is less than 2.4m and will be extended out to about 2.8m. The material used will be the same as the main house.

We are in non conservation area in the Roath part of Cardiff Property is a Victorian terrace Lean-to is right at the back of the property Current lean-to extension is 2.8m x 2.5m Nothing about PP and BR.

Hi there, Do we need a planning permission if we knock down existing lean-to extension of size 2.5m x 2.8m which consists of a single toilet and an utility room and rebuild it from scratch with new walls at the back so the overall size will be 3.0m x 2.8m which will have a single pitched roof...

The square RWP is 75mm x 75mm

is there a strap on thing that sits nicely on this square RWP and the other end, holds 40mm pipe?

Thanks for all. Both of the waste /dirty water bends from the wall are actually solvent weld. No wonder why the standard 40mm push fit pipes does not quite fit in nicely to existing protruding bends.

Hi there, We are thinking of replacing existing trims on our UPVC door and window downstairs as existing ones are too short and white silicons start to develop some black moulds. We want to completely remove old silicon seals and short trims and then put in new larger trims and mould & damp...

Hi all, We are thinking of starting a project of loft conversion. As we have limited budget for now, we are thinking of just boarding our loft so that we can walk on it and store things. Later, if we decided to convert the rest to a livable room (i.e. bedroom), would the boards have to be taken...

Do we need any planning permission or building regulations regarding the attic loft conversion to a livable or storage space? If we have it boarded so that we can walk on it and store things. Later, would the boards be taken apart if we decided to made it a legal forth bedroom?

Bought 10mm TRV and lockshield set, 2 x 10mm copper pipes (1m in length) and came in straight form, not coiled Bought the EF fittings as well. Just sold the IKEA bed so now I have enough room to dismantle the old radiator. The only thing I need to buy is the radiator itself....

cjard, the 2 upper pipes are just the waste pipes not rainwater. All 3 are going down the same gully hole.

EF = END FEED FITTINGS - MICROBORE - after doing the google search Unfortunately, I don't have the gas torch

I now realise that these 10mm copper pipes dont come in a straight form - only in coil :( so it is harder to straighten them. The room is actually 2.5m x 2.8m and I am planning to remove it for decorating then put it back together after 3 coats of anti-mould magnolia paint. I have read that...

Thanks John.
