Someone at work suggested using flexible tile adhesive. Sounds like a good idea to me... what you think ?

Hi All Hopefully an easy one for you. I need to lift a bedroom floor slightly so that it is approx level with the bathroom tiles when carpeted. I've got a few sheets of 5mm ply which i'm going to lay over the existing 22mm chipboard T+G floor. Should bring it up enough. Not sure if the...

Oh right I get it now. This is the calculation for the gap round the edge. I thought you were meaning 4.5mm of gap per m of boards laid i.e boards are 18cm so approx 5 per m. 4.5/5 = 0.9mm gap between boards. How wrong did I get that...... So I'll leave 18mm round the edge with no...

Hi - room is 4m wide and 8m long. Boards are running down the length of the room. Are the gaps you've given for width only ie not along the length of the boards ?

Don't have an installer yet as haven't contacted anyone. Purpose of this question is to ask what to use to form a conduit through a concrete wall before the concrete is poured next week. I suppose you could simply ignore that it's a gas supply, simply a 32mm pipe. Gas supply is coming from...

Hi - Have you got any sort of contract with the plumber ? or even an exchange of letters ? I don't think he can claim not to be paid for the work he has completed. From the sound of it he's certainly received fair payment for the works. It's a sorry fact that most contractors will not have...
