Never heard of needing regs to insulate an existing property.. A new build yes, but not an existing.. To be sure, because all councils seem to differ these days, just ring your local council, ask for building regs, they will tell you..

You can buy a DPM underlay from any floor store or B&Q

Hi Harry, Maybe a bit late but,,, a Bosch multi tool is the same as a Fein just their own version. I use it all the time, great for what you need doing but blades are expensive. It will take time for the floor to sit back flat, if you have a timber sub-floor you can put a couple of screws in...

Nice one, thanks John

You can lay a liquid DPM over the concrete once the hole you have dug is patched in with more concrete. I don't buy anything from wickes and can't imagine their dpm to be up to standard but i have never bought from wickes so i don't know. A dpm that will work is available from from...

Looks to me like your flooring is already made of LINO , so called as it is made from the oil of a lineum tree (xtra info !! )

4.5" screed + 3" insulation + .5" tiles = 8 inches. What about the other 3 ? Increase your insulation (ring manufacturer for advice) or lay a sand blinding before insulation.

4mm per metre, pretty average . I'd just try it as it is. You could use packers underneath if not totally happy but then you'd probably notice them at the low end. And to level the floor properly is quite a big undertaking,, i'd just put up with the 15mm.. and hang a picture at 92.3 degrees :D

Does anyone know where i can get adhesive safety strips (tape), the kind you see on stair edgeings etc. I need 25 metres x 100mm wide. ASAP Thanks

I've seen a new concrete driveway that has very fine straight lines in the finish for grip, does anyone know what's used to get this finish please ? Thanks

Just call Celotex, give them your dimensions and they will tell you the exact insulation to use in both walls and floor in 2 mins over the phone ..

pkoo213 Either listen to the advice you have asked for from experienced floor layers, which i read as 100% correct or... Conduct your own experiment

Agree with ladylola,, which if you don''t know the chords are::: C, D Emajor.. Well thats the intro anyway,,, If the subfloor is concrete then a plastic sheet may be fitted as a short term solution. If it's timber then you shouldn't use a plastic sheet at all. As ladylola says, best...

Firstly and most important,,, Was it a concrete screed or a anhydrite screed ?? Concrete is usually supplied ready mixed or mixed on site with 20mm stone in the mix. Anhydrite is applied by pump and has no stone in the mix. Either way, Laitance almost always occurs with either screed...

Yes, maybe elatilon is better than when i first used it 10 years ago. Can't find anything on their site that says it incorporates a dpm though i only had a quick look, that would save a lot of time and money. To me, a solid wood floor should be solid fixed, if so it can last hundreds of years...

Yes it's Sub-floor DPM Adhesive Flooring In that order, just check the adhesive is suitable to fit on a DPM F.ball have one, just can't rmember what it's called. Here the link www.f-ball.co.uk/

OK Remove the beading that covers the last plank, there's a slither you need to remove first (3 plamks in all). I'ts only about 20mm wide and it doesn't look like theres much room to remove it as there should be a gap of 10mm/15mm between the last plank and the wall. You have about 5mm. The...

Sounds good to me

Before you proceed the screed should be completely dry which will take approx 3 months. Or,,, use an epoxy resin DPM . These are quite expensive but mean you can continue work immediately. You will have to check wether your tile adhesive is suitable and will adhere to the dpm though, ring...

1, are you sure it was sharp sand and not soft sand ? 2, What sub-floor was it applied to ? soil, existing concrete etc ? Generally a 80mm screed woud have stone in it to make it concrete, just sand/cement at this thickness is too weak. Also, all screeds once dried have a dusty layer on...
