Thanks for the input, appreciate it. Just to be clear. I am having the room outside the bathroom plastered, not the bathroom. I thought i had done everything necessary in the room outside until this latest issue of the cabinet came up. That is why i simply wish to know whether I need a fused...

a) Because this is implied by other posts that i have read where it has been said that the fused aspect of the circuit is not always necessary; b) Because my electrician advised me that with a new 17th edition board I would not need isolation in another situation I recently encountered; c)...

Hi All, In the bathroom is a fan which is on a fan switch located outside the bathroom up top near the top of the door. Also on the fan switch is a wire to the shaver socket - so that this can also be isolated from outside the room. So far so good. I have now bought a cabinet with a light...

hi Boilerman, Thanks for the post. Yes i would be interested. How much would you charge to come to bury and purge the system. Or should i contact you through the website that you linked to? Thanks, Don

Thanks for the reply - i appreciate your time and advice. I will certainly investigate the protective fleece (something i was not aware of) - any tips on supplier - and i will also look at the paving supports. Thanks again.

Hi, The question is in the title really. I have used an EDPM membrane on an extension flat roof with a view to making it into a terrace (actually the door is in - so it is a bit more than that now). I'm sure that when i bought the rubber a year or more ago, that the supplier advertised it...

Hi Gents, Sorry for the delay - i have been out of town for a while. Thanks for the replies I appreciate your help. Tony, I have checked the paperwork and you are patially right about the operating pressure. It is recommended at 1.8 to 2.3 bar according to the conrtroller manual and...

Hi, I installed a DIY solar system and new cylinder last winter. My friend, who is a plumber came around and installed much of the system and the central heating at the same time. The solar system is good quality one and comes with a high spec mains pressure cylinder and sophisticated...

Thanks for your help again - really appreciate it.

Yes that could certainly help, thanks. What is it called! Would prefer to use the flexible if anybody knows whether it is acceptable as this would mean a lot less joints and components. Thanks again,

Hi, I am facing a number of small, but mounting, problems planning the installation of a WC in new extension. Firstly the positioning of the joists is an issue, I then realise that i have bareley the fall to get to the stack and I now realise that the incorporation of two bends from the pan...

Hi Richrd, Thanks again for the thorough answers about the plasterboard situation, appreciate it. I assume you mean taped and sealed membrane under foil back board. I may well go for this option to double up as you suggest - that was my original intention admittedly. I don't know much...

Hi Richard, Thanks, but will it matter if i do use use the foil on the ceilings? I have got celotex insulation up to spec. (and over spec in some areas) I was going to put a membrane, but the BC guy said not to bother and that i should use foil back board as it is considered a better...

Hi all, Bit confused about the way forward with my timber frame extension. I am just ready to plasterbord and i need to clarify whether i need to use the foil backed board for the ceilings between the internal floors or not. I know i need the foil for all the boards on the external walls...

Dear All, I know this has been covered before, but I have got some additional information that has added confusion to the topic for me. We have a concrete floor and would love to use some old fashioned worn floorboards on top as we prefer the effect to new laminate or engineered flooring...

Thanks guys that is great. Fortunately the board are already stained so that alleviates one potential problem. I will look for some nails with a smaller head and start again. Thanks again!

Hi, I have just started cladding my timber frame building with weatherboarding. I have only done a few boards and i had a conversation with somebody at the weekend that has thrown a bit of a spanner in the works. Just looking for clarification from somebody who has done this before (better...

Hi Col, Think i am in the right place!?! - it has all gone a bit facebook by the look of things. Anyhow, just let me know your email and i will sort out the manual. I have just checked and it seems it is still on my disc here as a zip file, so no problem getting it accross to you asap...

Marvellous. Thank you :) I don't think i would have guessed that one in a hurry. Thanks,

Evening all, I'm roofing an extension and need to match the existing house. The existing tiles are supported beyond the gable in a normal way with the thin asbestolux type material which was in use for so long. I have been driving myself crazy trying to find the generic term for this...
