I am no builder but to me that looks very bad :shock:. I would get a structural engineer around to have a look at that if i was you and stop you Plummer doing any more work in that area.

That is how i did mine, see photos as you can see by the photos i went for a liquid screed as i believe it offers the best thermal transfer due to 100% coverage of the pipes. It was all poured in around 15 minutes, it took them longer to clean out the pump ! The only thing with going with a...

I am after a bit of advice, I have a porch which Is built out of 9” brick wall with no cavity. I have studded the walls on the inside and filled with 90mm Celotex. There is a UPVC door that leads to the outside (will be changed) and a Timber door that will lead into the hallway. All the...

No problems Jc, we all make mistakes and get the wrong end of the stick. Peace be with you

I am not a trade professional person so this advice is just from my experience with my own work. Option 2 is ok if the walls are straight and plum as the whole sheet of cleotex will be in contact with it, also doing this way you don’t have to cut up the cleotex into sections to fit...

Richard, you have your way and others have their way maybe you need to allow room for other peoples “opinions” rather than shooting them down as i have seen you have a habit of doing in your replies. And just for you :roll: :lol:

Jesus Richard you are MR grumpy aren’t you! And don’t take to well to being questioned :roll: My point is you don’t advocate the use on ply wood for boxing as in your words is “not dimensionally stable when subjected to even ambient seasonal moisture changes” but making a frame out of...

Sorry to butt in Richard (not having a dig at what you say as i know you are much more experienced in this sort of thing :oops: ) but would like to raise a few questions if i may. I note you are not in favour of the use of plywood to tile onto as “is not dimensionally stable when subjected...

Thanks for the reply Mr Fox :D I understand that the tool is just used to apply the edging but the suppler says you must use an edging tool to apply the 2mm thick stuff. What i was getting at was when you have applied the edging and trimmed back and sanded it and applied a wax/oil can...
