Are all sing plug dimensions the same? It’s only the pipe that the new trap connects to that may be different?

Would i even need any pipes to set it off wall? Would it not just screw straight to the wall with some washers underneath the screws? Or is it best to set off the wall a bit for water drainage etc?

would PEX pipe work?

probably not ideal as i may need to replace the sign in a year or two, was thinking some method of screwing but not sure whether it's best to stand it off a wall or whether it's not strong enough to stand off wall and would need a flush fit and screw type fixing

I have just ordered a Foamex sign to go onto the brickwork of my house - it's essentially like compressed PVC foam .... similar to correx I was going to use standoff fixings however these are probably more suitable for an acrylic sign What would be best to secure a foamex sign to a brick wall?

Thanks for your reply If I put a corner bead on how will it effect the currnt plaster on the wall? Can I just feather it in to the existing plaster on the wall? What thickness insulated PB is best? Would I cut away the existing corner bead with tin snips? Or just board over it?

I’ve created a larger loft hatch opening in my ceiling, and I need to fix plasterboard so it’s flush with the edge of the joists/timbers 1. Every time I try to cut the lathe and plaster, the ceiling sags - how do I achieve a neat join between the board and lathe plaster? It’s as if I need...

What tool is best to cut the joist considering I want to keep that part of the ceiling intact Multi tool?

I was going to cut the opening in the ceiling first to the ‘opening cut size’ and then cut the joist 50mm either side of the opening cutout (so I install trimmer so it’s flush with edge of opening)

just checking my support timber is positioned correctly? what is the best way to ensure my new hatch is square? Best to mark out on ceiling or from above? My new hatch is narrower than my existing opening, so I’ll have to do some patch up work after

I actually messaged the electrician and he said the ones he put in are fire rated LED so safe to insulate straight over

i've read conflicting advice: should i do the ceiling cutout before cutting the joists and installing support timbers from in the loft or should i install the support timbers before cutting the opening in the ceiling?

Just a quick question before I do this new hatch opening this week Would you use the existing joist as an edge of the new cutout or is it best practice to use all new timbers (ie - laminate with a new timber of same size to use as edge of hatch? Cheers

I’ve been walking on them for the last few weeks as I’ve been clearing the loft out Maybe I’ll just insulate and put new insulated hatch in!
