On reflection, the wall to the left is timber frame (dormer) and the wall underneath is thermalite - so yes, not timber framed - sorry my mistake :S I will get a picture of the outside tomorrow Thanks

Any ideas? Thanks

Hi, I would like to replace the window board on a timber frame wall. I can see a bit of lead flashing coming from outside, and wrapping up to the window frame - sealed with silicone on top, and plastered plasterboard underneath. I have included a picture below, and a closeup (can take more if...

Ok, thanks :)

Yeah, thats what i meant, just not good at explaining myself! I will be bonding the bottom half, then skim over the whole wall. On an aside, would it actually be worth me taking the skim coat off from the top half, back to the render coat underneath? Thanks again, most helpful :) I'll get a...

Ok, sorry, i thought i would only use binding to fill the deep holes... but your saing i would use bonding on the whole bottom half of the wall, which would bring it to the same level as the topcoat plaster on the top half of the wall-which would then give me one level on the whole wall just in...

Actually, if I think about it... i wouldnt use bonding to bring the level on the bottom half to the same level as the plaster on the top half would i? I would just fill in the larger holes, then skim mulitifinish on it, then skim the whole wall? If i do this, what would i do about the join in...

Ok, think my best bet is to get some bonding then, level the bottom out first (i can also use this to fill the chase in yes - after removing the cable for the shaver point?), then multi over the whole lot. Just to clarify, the order of jobs: 1) PVA bottom half of wall 2) Level off to the same...

Ok, thanks. Few more q's if i can?! Is there a difference between SBR and PVA? I am tempted to only tile halfwy up the walls - assuming i can get a decent finish on the top half (which would mean i couldnt just use tile adhesive...). Would the one coat literally be one coat, ie thick at the...

Sorry, its a brightplan shower pump (P1800RR) and i dont have a clue about the actual shower, though it is identical to this one: https://www.diynot.com/diy/threads/what-to-do-about-leaking-shower-mixer.185247/ just plumbed in with longer pipes. Thanks

We are redoing the bathroom walls, and have removed the tiles. Some came off really easy (think this bit of wall was painted underneath) others came off ok but pulled the plaster skim off, others were a nightmare and pulled the render off too: IMG_20170905_192452 by jmallows posted 5 Sep 2017 at...

We are currently updating the bathroom, (moving the sink and toilet, but leaving bath, and a retile). The shower we have works fine, but i'm not keen on the look of it, the controls are also a little high. Picture here: IMG_20170905_211953 by jmallows posted 5 Sep 2017 at 10:03 PM There is...
