Thanks. That's also the first one I found on Google, but it isn't underhung ie. Attached under the table top. As far as I understand, it has to be attached to the sides, like in a cabinet as pictured. It is plenty cheap enough though.

I have a white computer table (ikea) ~60cm x ~125cm by ~2.5cm deep I'd like to cheaply fit a drawer underneath - perhaps a wire frame drawer? Just for notepads, /CDs cables etc Does anyone know of a product to make this? I've had a google about but not really found anything. Thanks.

I guess OP is liable for any damage with or without the PWA... so how important is it , really?

^yep I screwed up a freshly papered and painted wall this way...

Well, it might save you several thousand quid....

don't do it. the outside of my (sandstone/stone) period house is covered in several sets of chemical dpc holes - looks awful and didn't solve the problem.

At least first check how much depth of plaster you have on that wall - my period house has at least 2cm, so wouldn't need any grinding of bricks.

I just can't understand why the builder didn't mention it til now - especially if you're having 'major works' done. Why compound the original builder's mistakes?!

Thanks for the reply, vinn. That sounds fairly simple and less work than I had feared. I will put that suggestion to my builder. Yes, I'm actually pretty happy with the rest of the plasterwork, hence wanting to get this sorted.

Looks fantastic. Keep the updates coming :)

Thanks. I'll post a pic up later. My instructions were quite general. The chimney breast is in a room that has been extended , and I asked for the whole lot to be skimmed - old & new. My guess is that he didn't want to waste time dealing with the transition between the existing render and...

that looks pretty good compared to my valley of tarmac... everyone who comes to do work at the house mentions how crap it is :)

We have had our dining room reskimmed as part of an extension/renovation. Several years ago the existing fireplace had been opened up and skimmed on the chimney breast and rendered internally (preparation for a burner). Where the render meets the outside skim, there were corner beads on the 2...

My advice would be get a bigger radiator and use it more often. This solved the problem in our single skin brick bathroom in our old place.

Thanks for posting. Any good places to find info on installation & running costs?

From a quick chat with the builder, I think this is what he suspects. In which case, would the best solution be some filler/foam in the conduit?
