I've stopped getting notifications for some reason! Doh! Just saw your last few posts. You can still get the 25mm celotex to insulate with so that will help as you said. If it says centre fixings, it might be worth doing an extra one. Perhaps making it 2 fixings if you can. Remember you are...

You can do Shaker in high gloss. We bought our kitchen from a Solid oak company in Gloucester. In their show room they have the doors in traditional style, and shaker. Shaker left natural, painted in farrow and ball paints, and also they have them in ultra high gloss colours at the back for a...

I can vouch for the Aquaseal ones on amazon. I used 2kits. Was great stuff, takes a few days to do though. Put the primer on, then the joints, then first coat, wait 8 hours, then next coat then wait antoher 8 hours, did this over a couple of days leaving over night. then tiled a few weeks later...

But they inevitably will over time. or deform or move. Seen it in tons of hosues. Eventually they will show and need attending too. Using big boards = fewer joins, less cracking possible also. Works out considerably cheaper to use large boards also. Yea it would be hard to use them by...

Cheers for the reply! Very much appreciated. Any brands/specific recommendations you would consider? Something like this? - http://www.screwfix.com/p/no-nonsense-quick-dry-interior-varnish-satin-750ml/30824 Or -...

May not :) Besides as pointed out would hope then use correctly. Not many read forum rules I bet. Besides single 1st time ones don't bother me so much as they usually find out after i.e. your post lol. It's the ones that do it constantly after with 5+ posts that's annoying. I didn't...

Indeed lol ^ But got to give new poster the benefit of the doubt :) Might not have ever used a forum before. Or might be on a tiny computer screen or mobile and not seen all the sections below and only the top 7 topics before the separate categories etc.

Hi all, We've stripped back the old 1970's banister from this fire reddish yellow hints in a very high gloss varnish. And after a bit more work and sanding I think we will keep this rather than replace the hand rail top. However we quite like how it looks now after having much paint...

Hi there, Something similar happened to us a few months ago (837) unfortunately the boiler was a little cold and the expansion pushed it over. Get a bowl, go to a radiator, And open the bleed valve on the side and drain off 1-2 mugs of water out of the system. This would do the central...

With that large a patch and that high up... I'm wondering if there is a shower enclosure/backed on to the area, tiled and there's a failure either with the tiles or a built in shower mixer etc. Makes me wonder this because (6feet up an internal wall.)it seems too high for a sink? but likely from...

What about a mini booster and Combimate combo? I'm in a 290(on the scale) rating for some of the hardest water going... We've not descaled out kettle since May last year..... Combimate gets my rating on that alone! Without it it's fully scaled up and needs de-scaling within about a week...

No idea if this would help but I saw this a while ago when I was looking in to the low power solutions. http://www.showerpowerbooster.co.uk/

How big is the kitchen you are going to be building? Not being funny but the cost for the full thing will cost you a fair fortune in materials/fixings and not to mention the time and getting it to be perfect without anything being slightly wonky for the doors/hinges/runners etc. Most cabinets...

I think it was another chap that said no to the dot and dab weight reasons/possible failure. My thoughts are is I thought plaster can at times react with cement to form a salting (hence why you prime/seal plaster walls when using cement adhesive..... So if you dot and dab I wouldn't like the...

Any general bathroom photos, close ups where the issue is etc. Pics behind the sink also, of the reddish colour also.

For sure. Look for the ones that don't. They will be ones that are used in new houses for the internal walls. Not sure how it would flex if you have fitted the top and bottom frames, then you have C/U shaped vertical braces at regular intervals. It shouldn't flex at all. I believe you use a...

No problem at all :) Apparently the system is very low cost in relation to a Timber stud wall. Hence why its being used on new builds to get costs down. keep us update don progress :)

I wouldn't have thought so if done right, Strip and top bottom and sides then filled in with 400mm intervals for more vertical pieces of the steel. This is how a lot of new build houses are made, Narrower walls, then plasterboard/drywalled on both sides of the frame. See there. The...
