Thanks, Guys, for your suggestions:- 1. Silicone mastic - surely this is compressible so will only cushion the wobbling, rather than preventing it ? 2. If screws hold it sufficiently to prevent it wobbling, the china at the screw-holes will be under a lot of stress, and the pan will crack or...

So I had to get a new loo, and I've installed it, and everything's just fine - except... the floorboards aren't flat, so the loo wobbles a bit. I've put wegdes underneath, but they tend to work loose. (This is all temporary, as I shall have to lift the floorboards later when I change the...

I bought the shower tray a couple of years ago, and am now (at last!) getting round to fitting it. It's a 1200 x 900 x 45 quadrant, and "plastic - the underside is flat, & textured black. But I've lost "the Rules", and there are no labels on it at all. It's to go in a corner, on...

Thanks for the update. The first person to respond (pred) suggested raking out 1" - is that what they did? Obviously, the reason I found this thread is that I have a similar job to do myself. :-( The bottom plinth (stone in lime mortar) of the wall was covered in bitumen, which had...

Thank you ! I didn't know how to get that...

Here http://www.diynot.com/network/user_album_update.php?album_id=17150 are pix of my porch. The side walls comprise brickwork up to waist height, topped by a square timber frame with mortice / tennon / dowelled joints. Alas! The bottom horizontals have rotted, so I have cut them out...
