Tries these last night: http://www.screwfix.com/p/tile-glass-drill-bit-set-3pcs/53634 Didn't even make a scratch then the tile broke!! (This was some waste that I was practicing on!). Any other suggestions, these are the tiles...

Hi All, The Mrs has decided on same very fancy pants glass mosaic tiles from Fired Earth for our shower room. Whilst these may look the dogs danglies, I feel I am going to have a mare drilling into them to put the shower screen up. I've bought some glass drill bits from Screwfix and will...

Thanks - yep I've remembered the waste, luckily I think it just, just misses the joists or I would have had to build it up!!

Hi All, I'm half way through putting a new shower room downstairs, the room is bare at the moment as the walls have just been plastered, next is to ply over the floorboards. My question is, we have a 800 x 1200 shower tray to be fitted, do I bed this on cement on the floorboards, on the...

Hi, Still getting my head around the whole plasterboard/tanking vs backer boards in a shower area. Basically I have one wall that is already plasterboarded and skimmed, the other wall adjoining this is for me to build over some pipes to box them in. This is the corner where our shower is...

Lovely, thanks for your reply, so basically I don't need to replace the PB or cover it with aqua board, I can just paint this stuff on? Thanks again, I was getting worried!!

Hi All, What exactly is "tanking"? I want to tile straight onto plasterboard (not green back, just ordinary). Should I tank this or overboard with aquapanel - is it possible to attach aquapanel directly onto plasterboard? The room had already been overboarded so seems silly to rip it all...

Hi there, We've constantly had issues with our Drayton wireless receiver losing the signal from the stat. This time it's given up altogether, after googling this it appears to be a common fault with the Draytons. I've therefore decided to go for the Salus RT500 as it seems extremely...

Hi All, As above, I'm sick of our Drayton Digistat Thermostat and receiver, they've never been reliable and I'm always taking the batteries out to get them to connect. Last night, on the coldest night of the year so far they gave up altogether! I tried the override, no joy, tried...

Thanks, I don't play much at all, is this sufficient for a few games wort, I don't download from the internet or anything?

Hi, Not a "problem" as such but I've just seen the PS3 12GB for 135 quid at Tesco. My old 40GB PS3 gave up the ghost one day and according to the repair shop, it can't be fixed (it accepts games/DVD's but just has the loading symbol up constantly without doing anything). Should I get the...

Hi, We recently had an extension built including a new bathroom. The electricians wired a fused spur in for us but at the time the tiler had not completed tiling the bathroom floor etc. Now they have finished the build and the tiler has finished the bathroom I need the undefloor heating...

Hi, We're going to have our bathroom done but I want to buy all the fittings before the sales end. I want a valve beside the bath to fill the bath via the waste - no taps. I also want a valve for the shower on the wall to control a fixed head but also a loose head to do kids...

Hi, Thanks again for the replies, I think we will talk to next door about removing it altogether, it will be redundant. Regarding Party Wall agreement, should they have sought this from us before removing the chimney breast their side and installing a gallows bracket, as they didn't...

Cheers all - will let you know how we get on!

Right - spoke to the BI at the council and he has no problems at all with gallows brackets!! Further more he is not concerned if we wish to install one despite next door having already done so!!! So, we now have 2 choices, remove the stack altogether (if next door agree) or have a gallows...

Hi All, Thanks for the replies, it's only since looking on-line that I've learnt you can't have a gallows if your neighbours do - should they have asked us for permission before using one, as they've only done it very recently and they did not let us know beforehand? My only worry is...

Hi, Apologies, yes I have searched but could not fine the exact answer... We want to extend and remove the rear chimney breast in our semi detatched. However, our neighbours have already done so using a gallows bracket - does this mean we now do not have this option? I guess the...

Hi All, Just reading this with interest as we've just had a single storey extension built with a sloped tiled roof with sky light and down lighters. It was only completed in spring and I am now wondering if we will lose much heat through the ceiling. I was going to insulate around the down...

Excellent - torsion boxes is what I was trying to explain.....I think! i want to try and make these look as floating as possible so no brackets showing. I will use a hardwood for the front lip. Thanks again.
