I've similar problem to 1APM but would like to know if it can be remedied using epoxy resin instead. The patio was laid last september on a wet mix. However the weather turned against me and I didn't get time to point the joints before the onset of winter. Now I've noticed some of the...

Hello, ok this is a really stupid question but I have to ask :) I'm looking to buy a one of these towel rails. However before I can decide on a size I need to know how the pipework will fit. Do the pipes connect vertically at the bottom as opposed to my current radiators which all have...

Had to think about that setup timbo, but I see what you're saying now. Doesn't sound like that's the method suggested to me though? I was under the impression I could screw them directly to the wall, but I guess the back panel isn't built to take the weight.

Hello, can anyone shed some light on how to hang a pine wall unit in my kitchen? I was expecting to use the same adjustable clips that come with a standard fitted kitchen, but I'm being told to hang them using two battens instead. I can understand one batten being used underneath the wall...

Now there's a good idea :)

Hello, before I go ahead and order, can anyone shed some light on which size vibrating plate I should rent from HSS? http://www.hss.com/index.php?g=47428 I need to compact about 150mm of MOT1. Would the 'Hauc Light Vibrating Plate' or 'Hauc Medium Vibrating Plate' be the best candidate for...

I'm pretty sure the wall is only a single skin (100mm thick). Otherwise the builder next door wouldn't have looked so puzzled when the RSJ he was installing came through into my kitchen :) Luckily I had just finished gutting the place so the damage was easily fixed. He said he had expected...

Thank you, a lot of fine suggestions here :) I'm going to be working with red brick and it's pretty tough stuff. Looks to have been skimmed to about 10mm. I'm in a terraced house and the wall I'm working with is shared with my neighbour. It's only 100mm thick so naturally I was a little...

:lol: ok thx!

Does it matter if my 1.5mm cable crosses the 2.5mm ring at right angels? The magnetic fields around the cables won't interact and open up a doorway to another dimension will they? I've had enough of that Dr parking his police box on my lawn :)

Now that sounds like the right tool for the job :)

Aha, thanks to the fischer website I have my answer to the first part, case A is correct. Now just need to find out if I can get away with an 80mm fixing as opposed to a 100mm.

I'm trying to order some fixings to hold 42mm batterns to a wall. I know this might seem like stupid question but, does the fixing go completely into the wall or partly into the wall and partly into the batten? I've drawn a diagram to explain... Which case is correct, A or B...

Hello, I have a thin strip of wall in which I hope I can fit a vent for the cooker extractor hood. The idea is to bring the ducting along the top of the cupboards and out through the wall. Here's a picture of the setup: The pipes will be moved to the white side of the wall and...

18mm it is. Thanks noseall!

:lol: Ok mabe I'm being a little too cautious, how about 15mm, would that be ok? Need to pin down a range in case I have trouble finding a particular thickness.

Hello, I'm going to use a combination of batterns, plywood and plasterboard to level my kitchen wall in preparation for new units. It currently steps out in the middle by approximately 57mm (remnents of an old cooker chimney). I plan to use: 37(ish)mm batterns + 20mm plywood + 12.5mm...

380mm can stretch to 450mm? Impressive, could barely get 10mm extra stretching my existing overflow pipe. Thanks wms :) On a slightly different note, anyone know if these pop up designs (using rotating the wire) have trouble if the water level is anymore than ankle deep?
