After some advice please before l proceed. My conservatory has been dot and dabbed straight onto the exterior wall, and skimmed. There are areas which feel damp and the plasterboard has gone quite soft. Should l take it all off back to the brick and seal the brickwork with something, then re...

Boards are 145mm wide by 28mm thick. 7 grooves and wondered the right place to screw. Into the 1st or 2nd groove for best stability? Thanks

Sorry for the constant questions, but would you use the crosshead or the hex bolt heads?

Brilliant thank you

What length would you suggest? Through 4x2, dot and dabbed plasterboard and into brickwork. I've never used concrete screws.

Thanks. Is the cross where l should screw? And the 38mm minimum for a flat piece to the wall?

It's actually a lowered ceiling underneath my existing conservatory ceiling as l didn't want to put any weight on the frame work. It will then be plasterboarded, so l need a finish to the wall. I may have to frame a small flat section if l birdmouth it on top of the ledger board?

Like this?

I want to attach rafters/joists to a wall plate but at a sloped angle. The drawing is looking from the side on. Can l just screw through into the wall plate or do l need to use strapping of some sort? Hope that makes sense. Thanks

Solid panel

I want to attach a length of 4x2 along an inside brick wall which has been dot and dabbed plasterboarded too. Which length and size fixing would be best to use. The 4x2 will be having joists attached to it for a small ceiling. Thanks

Yeah l guess that would work. Thanks

I have a double glazed window in my conservatory which l would like to blank out. What insulated product is used to replace the glass panel? Thanks.

It's a bedroom, so can't think of any sources of moisture. Normally have to open the windows to ventilate.

I've just wiped around the reveal which was covered in black mould spores and wet dripping from the top of the reveal. What could be the possible causes??? It's only this window. The bedroom next door which has the window at the front of the house we have no problems with. I've previously...

Can anyone help me? The wall at base of my shower screen frame has obviously been getting wet over time due to water getting behind. I've raked out the old silicone around the area, but once l've repaired the area, should l re-silicone around the base just on the outside of the frame and the...

I'm probably going to build a timber frame underneath, independent of the bars so l don't put any extra stress on the existing structure. I'll still batten and superquilt first, then celotex between my new joists so l have the best of both then.

The bars flex a bit (more than l thought) l noticed when cleaning, which worried me adding the extra weight of plasterboard, being glazed too, would it collapse. Plus the natural movement may crack the plaster. But yes, the idea was to superquilt first, plasterboard and skim. Was going to leave...

It was already there when we moved in. It's around 10 years old.

Yes. There will be new lighting and our kitchen will be opened into the space.
