Hi, I`m laying solid wood flooring right through our lounge and running through into the kitchen. Its on top of wooden floorboards and i`ve used a floating installation on self adheisive backing. I prepped the floor nailing all loose boards down.I`ve done the lounge and its all looking...

Hi, just one last question - is it best lay all the underlay for the room out first it do the room in sections? Cheers, mike

Thanks - I had a good look at the instructions tonight and they say I can use self adhesive underlay, glue directly to the floor or secret nail it down, so I think I'm going to go with the self adheisive underlay. My wood flooring is fairly level and I've been going round screwing loose and...

Hi, I`m going to be laying solid oak tongue and groove flooring in our living room and through to the kitchen. 90% is currently timber floorboards and we have a bit of concrete around the chimney breast and some edging area. I`m unsure of which underlay to use (or even if i have to use...

thanks - yes, the left side (as you look at it) has all the underfelt fitted, but the right is just bare slates (with a few chinks of light here and there!). Was like this when we moved in 5 years ago. I know what you `re saying about the concrete 'flashing' - and i can fully appreciate...

You know, I thought to all for some pics, but before I had chance, the work had been done. I'll see if I can get s pic of outside

Hi, I`m after some advice for our leaky chimney. When it rains heavily for prolonged periods (like the last few weeks!!), we appear to get water seeping through the mortar in the loft space and then running down the outside of the chimney breast and drippng down. The house is an end of...

Hi, We have decided to remove the fireplace in our lounge to fit a wood burner - I`ve managed to remove the fireplace and removed the rubble/plaster in the fireplace itself. What we wanted to do was expose some of the brickwork around the fireplace once the plaster was removed. Its not in...

thanks - sounds like i may be ok - i think i`d like more than 18mm/m drop though if possible! :) cheers, mike

i`ve had a quick look and looking at it, i can`t really come straight out of the toilet into the wall as it goes straight into the middle of a bedroom which isn`t practical at all. i could drop thepipe under the floorboards and across to the front soil pipe directly with no bends - that would...

i`ll have to have a look tonight and see what room i`ve got there. can i run a piep around the perimeter of a room (boxed in) - 90 degree bends in the corner too much i owuld`ve thought?

joy! looks like i may be up sh*t creek! someone on another topic raising the level of the floor that the toilet sits on. at the moment, i`m pulling the fuse so that it doens`t go off every few minutes and then putting it back in when the toilet needs to be used.

does the cutting wheel have some sort of sensor in there then to detect when it needs to run then? is that building regs to not have the only toilet on a saniflow. Stupid really, but i didn`t even think about it before we bought the house. its a terraced house with the bathroom right in...

hi, I`ve just bought a house which has a saniflow toilet - its the only toilet in the house and is positioned in the centre of the house. Is this right? The real reason i`ve coem on here is that we`ve just started having problems with it yesterday. We haven`t been chucking stuff down it...
