A few other queries. A. Our joists are at 400mm centres (or thereabouts as having laid the rockwool between them they ain't bloody parallel with each other!!). Each joist is 65mm wide. We need 22mm thick T&G flooring to get same height as existing. Is there any specific sized sheets of T&G...

Have decided to have a bit of a rethink on this, as we're not keen on getting the joist hangers/noggins all correct down the full strip of flooring at the side to give us enough piece of mind. So, we've thought of a potential other workaround, and would appreciate guidance on feasibility...

Its going to be almost impossible to get the edge of the boards on the right hand side of the room to sit on an existing joist as the joist at that side is directly under the internal partition to the next room. I therefore need noggins, firstly at right angles to the joists (i.e. between...

Thanks. Used the 10% Wasteage add on, and tiles now ordered.

The noggins on the right hand side will be taking load though - as the existing floor has been cut in the middle of the joists. Do I need the timber to be graded to any particular strength (e.g. C16)? Yeah I think I'll take the skirtings off before reboarding. In terms of the joist...

Ordering tiles online and want to make sure we get all we need from same batch. What is rule of thumb for measuring up, to allow for tiles that need to be cut at edges of walls, and the odd couple that might break? Area of wall + 10%? +5%? Something else? We're doing 4 walls - one...

Thanks for the help. Panel now removed. Water leak due to badly sealed grout somewhere on the wall with the shower head. Not sure if we're now going to hand to replace the entire wall + chipboard backing b

I'm tempted to get rid of both the "in" and the "out". Thoughts?

The transformer on the light fitting has now been swapped for an Aurora transformer. However, on our dimmer switch (the B&Q one), we're getting a buzzing sound from the back of the dimmer switch. It happened twice last week and it sounded like the buzzing was running up and down the...

Anyone able to help with this?

Parents wanting new radiator for their bathroom. The B&Q brochure they have is listing each radiator by BTU. Their room is 3.04 length x 1.6 width x 2.65 height (all measurements in metres). They have one external wall, with a standard sized double glazed window. House is 1930's bungalow...

Ok will give this a go. Feel like the naughty boy in class! :(

Ok this is interesting (and worrying). I've been pulling/yanking/pushing these white polypipes to allow me to lay insulation around them. That was yesterday. Last night, after we'd had a shower, we noticed that the carpet directly above part of the white polypipe run was quite wet, and...

Yeah we'll just need to air our house better once sealed. Yep - isolator down and toilet light on, and fan still doesn't work.

The isolator button (if this does indeed control the square one) doesn't actually work!

There seems to be a draught coming into the void which is resulting in our living room being freezing and taking ages to heat up in the winter.

External pic - seems to be same type of grill for each. Have also had a look and doesn't appear to be any inline fan - although what should that isolator button be controlling?

Yes - quite possibly one could be air in and one air out, as the downstairs toilet has no external window. How would we be able to determine whether one was air in and one an extra for fan - the grills on the outside of the house? Reason for asking is where we want to lay insulation...

Need to remove bottom panel of shower enclosure, as we have a leak which having done some tests is almost certainly coming from the drain underneath the shower. I've removed the screws and tried to prise the panel out using a chisel and hammer but the thing ain't budging. Any ideas? The...
