Floor is concrete - it's a ground floor

Any recommendations/advice regarding tiling onto a ply floor? Bathroom area to be tiled is 3 square metres and at the moment is approx 25mm below the floor outside the entrance of the door. I'm thinking of laying 12mm sheath ply and then tile onto to that to bring the floor to nearly level with...

Not controlled by budget really Currently have Durafix, drill and impact drivers with Li-on batteries

Can anyone recommend a decent cordless Jig Saw? Just had my mains powered one lifted and need something that's good with making curves and taking corners off 12mm sheath, marine ply etc

Sorted, 15mm foil-backed plasterboard. No problems with the tiles have fixed to 15mm moisture resistant, then tanked, in a shower cubicle.

No, there are no rubber washers provided other than a filter with a rubber sorround. I've spoken to Bristan Technical and they say no further seals are required, not even PTFE on the threads! Tried a couple of combinations on PTFE across the the fixing bridge into the valve but still leaks. I...

From the wall the 15mm push fit is going into the valve via wall mount onto which a shroud is screwed, the valve has 22mm nut which screws onto the shroud and this doesn't appear to be a compression type joint. The only other item between the end of the pipe and then into the valve is filter...

Currently in the process of fitting a Bristan Quadrato Exposed Fixed Head Bar Shower with Diverter and having a little trouble with one of the inlet's to the valve leaking. I'm using 15mm Speedfit with inserts, have PTFE'd the threads of the mount fitting. The fitting instructions are not...

Looking for options and ideas regarding the internal board that will take the tiling of travertine 600x400. Wall is external and is Single timber frame wall clad with Cedar planks on the outside. Have had a couple of suggestions using Celotex PL4000 which is an insulation board bonded to 12.5mm...

What is the best recommended plasterboard for a bathroom wall which is facing external, in terms of moisture resistance and sound proofing?

Speedfit is come through a brass mounting fix on the wall going into a chrome plated brass threaded valve inlet with nut going onto the wall outlet - suspect that PTFE over the threads of the wall mount will do the job and not use the Olive

About to connect up a shower in to 15mm speedfit pipes. Do I need to use the 15mm copper olives that came with the shower fixing kit or will the 15mm pipe inserts suffice?

Anyone had experience of fitting Duravit baths? Currently looking at their Happy D range. Would also like to know of any recommended suppliers, (not Bathstore or Victoria Plumb)

Just spoken with Bristan Technical again, aaaaaaaaaarrrrrrgggghhhh. Having been asked to check the water pressure by running the cold water in the sink and then giving the loo a flush theyh now tell me this has nothing to do with the problem and that it's likely that by removing the cartridge...

Forget to mention that the HW inlet into the Shower mixer is hot and having further increased the water temperature at source on the combi. Have also ran a pressure test by turn basin cold water tap on for a minute which had no effect on temperature and then flushed WC which had a minor impact...

Re. Non return valve - where should I be looking? Is it going to be along either the HW or CW feeds from the Combi? (excuse me for being a bit thick on this)
