I have no nail gun unfortunately but looks like the nails have done a good job on the old stud work. I was thinking of using these https://www.toolstation.com/dewalt-aerated-concrete-anchors/p64931 and then some good quality coach screws all along the horizontal section of the stud work. It‘S...

I’m boxing in a toilet and basin and using 38x63 timber from Wickes. Problem I have is I’m attaching about 2metres worth along the rear wall and working out how to securely attach it to the thermalite brickwork. I was thinking of using some solid rawl plugs with coach screws ? There is already...

Ok thanks I have made a support under one of the T&G that’s a little weak so do you mean put glue on the support i have made and then stick the floor down onto it with caberfix. Ok thanks won’t bother with the joist glueing the screws look pretty heavy duty anyway.

I watched a video on the caberfix glue on caberfix flooring and it looked exactly the same as my flooring I.e tongue and groove. I have tried some caberfix on some old T&G board and was impressed how solid it was. Is it best to apply on the joist and then on the tongue as well as inside the...

Thanks for reply now just the issue of it aligning with the attachment on the frame itself. I have drawn a faint black line on the chipboard flooring adjacent to the pipe I still have and that is the centreline of the attachment on the frame itself. It’s a couple off mm out so may have to bend...

i am in the process of fitting a wall hung basin frame by abacus or grohe. These frames have the 1 1/4 inch waste connectors on the frame which I can just hopefully connect to my waste pipe shown in the pictures. Is it just a case of solvent cement another piece of 32mm pipe to extend the pipe...

I’m using P5 22mm T&G flooring but not caber flooring brand.

Thanks I did there was nothing the tiles were holding up the pipe to create the fall

It looks like the nut has crossed on the plastic 1/2 inch connection...

Our basin waste pipe is 36mm outer diameter (32mm inner) and runs about 2 metres into the soil box. The floor is up at the moment and was surprised there is literally no fall on this pipe going between the holes in the joists. I am planning on elevating this with some rubber clips but do not...

I was about to get some everbuild D4 PVA but got the caberfix d4 glue instead at a good price. I tried some in the garage on some wood and it dries very strong but was surprised how much it expanded - is this what you mean with the PU glue? I purchased it at a good price but I am now wary of...

I’ll try and get a photo tomorrow but I think you have answered it anyway so thanks. I will need to get some really strong clamps and put them on a mini noggin.

I have my bathroom floor up and have some nice access to a lot of the polypipe setup for the house. I have upgraded the clips to screw in clamp style clips to give them more support but the hot feed when turning off the tap is moving around in the ceiling and knocking against the other pipes ...

No it isnt - I have looked further into it and the price I saw was for 6x1 litre bottles! Is D4 ok though ? thanks

I'm replacing a panel of flooring and looking into what glue I should use. I have some PVA glue but seen there is D4 spec at a higher price and thinking if it is worth it? Its only one piece of flooring and studwork is going over the top of it. Will double bead the joists and noggins and then...

thanks the gap is about 1.5 mm max and it’s actually going under some studwork most of the floor that needs replacing (120cmx60cm section of chipboard). what’s best for packing a joist up ?

Taken one of my panels up to replace and surprised to see it wasn’t 22mm it’s around 24mm. Going to be a problem as I will have a 2-3mm difference in height where the original floor is. I either get 25mm ply (maybe marine/WBP) which seems quite a common size or I put 3mm ply on top of the 22mm...

In the picture below I have to replace some rotten flooring and trying to make it easier when I re-lay the new flooring and avoiding cutting holes into the board. The 15mm copper pipe comes up from a polypipe (whole house has it!) 90 degree elbow. The other two pipes on the right are the hot and...

I managed to find out the exact I-Joists I have and the flange is 47mm wide and 45mm high. Ideally trying to find some clips to attach onto the side of the flange to make fitting the noggins on easier and more securely. There are z clips available but the top of the Z is going to be tricky to...

I will be able to get to both sides of the joist on one section so can just screw straight through as you say but the other two joists where the boards will finish I won’t so I will either have to skew nail or drill a pilot hole through at 45 degrees as you say then screw them on. Alternatively...
