@Madrab so inessence your filling in and waterproofing with say AquaSeal and Silicone, any voids or gaps around the bath edge, so to create the fall for water to go into the tub, if it should find itself behind the strips at all ?? As I will be raising the bath up to meet both the Cladseal...

@Madrab you posted just before posted mine, thanks, yes your suggestion makes sense.

Do you mean - where additional sealing strips from behind the finishes (ie panels in my case) are not used behind trims ?? I definately think the Part E Sound Matt has exasperated the problem, combined without anything to stop movement, such as T Legs or batons, as you suggest. Next time I...

Fair comment, still feel though they should not dress it up as something its not, tap is in my workshop still waiting for Angle Grinder treatment, will report back the contents of said tap as and when ...

Hi, I have fitted a number of bathrooms using PVC Shower Panels, and suspect the Silicon seal between the panels bottom trim and the bath lip has failed. Where the panel meets the bath lip I have used Cladseal Shower Trim:~ https://claddingplus.co.uk/cladseal-shower-trim/ I am proposing to...

I'm hoping to find out a little about whats happened here, so I can avoid making the same mistake next time, caveat emptor, buyer beware ! I would hope someone like Screwfix to supply a trust worthy product ... but I guess they are simply pedling others wares ...

Thanks for your comments, I need to hack open the old tap, see what it is, one should see if its brass or not, also do the magnet test, I will post up some pics of the hacked tap. Could the arm be made of something different to the body, it feels like it is quite a thin 'light' metal component...

I recently discovered my Screwfix tap is not what I thought it would be, so I wrote a review, which was then rejected ... what is in that review that makes it unprintable ?? Dear, Our staff has read your review and values your contribution even though it did not meet all...

A peak consumption possibly. Good thought ... Zigbee looks a good communications solution for IOTs - and hopefully secure.

I have some Sonoff SNZB-06P Human Presence Sensors I wish to install, I wish to 'spur' out from a mains wall socket, and provide power from a power supply module fixed inside a surface box. This requires an Input Voltage of 5V 1A. I note the input voltage for this is rated at 1A, this seems...

Think it was July 2000 So assume that would be a change to Building Regs AD B, presume amendments and dates of - are kept in file somewhere, being from 2000 wonder if ithat is online ?? I have read in a 2008 book that as long as you have a protected fire escape route, egress/escape windows are...

Thanks, interesting points - my supplier 7 Day suggested the Tilt and Turn, but as they thought about it the chap had less conviction - don't blame him, its an ask I know. I've fitted a number of windows muyself, so feel confident to make the adaptions - if it were possible. I should have said...

Hi, I have a number of fixed glazed units in uPVC frames. I would like to convert part of the fixed area to be openable, to facilitate egress/escape - is that possible ? The removable beading is on the inside. Someone vaguely suggested a tilt and turn window unit might be able to be fitted...

My Bosch is over 20 years old ... a solid lump,it just keeps going, think they were still made in Germany back then - so doubt warranty would entertain a call from me :) If the water is not being heated - presume that will upset its cycle. Sure the Brushes are good, put a new set in last year...

No, no error codes or flashing lights, drain pump appears all in order - impeller moving as it should. I am not sure if the spin cycle is actually running, I will test it, it does appear as if it is not spinning, you can though still manually select the spin program and it will then spin and...

I have an old Bosch Exxcel 1000 (washing machine); Model Nr: WF02064GB/01 Solid machine. Recently noticed clothes wet at end of cycle, and that the Cycle is ending early., a 90deg that should be 130 minutes ends in 30 minutes with clothes wet. Sometimes though the clothes are dryer, so it...

Sorry I can't answer your question, not sure about BC 'Permits', I know BC Certificates of Completion only. The answer though to my original question here, was answered shortly after posting, and here is the reason. But first, agree they are inspectors, not a walking talking AD compendium. I...

Does a kitchen need to have a window, with natural light. Presume it need have no specific outllook, could a roof window suffice ? Could a 'light tunnel' help in this regard ? And any requirement would need to satisfy both Planning and Building Control. This defines a habitable room under...

It was all striped back to just rafters, and part of that pitched Roof incuded a small gable was retained, but the rest of the pitched roof was rebuilt, I recently completed another loft and the whole of the pitched roof was replaced, with new treated (and straight) C24 timbers, bit more money...
