    How to cope with no toilet whilst decorating bathroom?

    Is it that bad, Oh No. that's what I was planning on using. May have to rethink. I suppose if you hire a portable toilet they will come and empty it on a regular basis, saving oneself getting into a mess.

    How to cope with no toilet whilst decorating bathroom?

    Porta potty, from a caravan shop, amazon/ebay and the like. Still there is the problem of emptying it, perhaps an understanding neighbour? Going to be doing the same as the OP shortly and my plan was to use a porta potty. Got some work going on at the moment in the bathroom, managed to get a...

    Levelling a Workshop Floor

    Hi, Have used products similar to the one you specify, it was an “IFS” product, the company doesn’t exist anymore, actually think Watco could have bought it out as their products look to be very similar. Think it was called “Floorsaver” Also used Kingfisher product, but this was more...

    liquid dpm coverage? advice please

    Hi, have not used the product you specify but:- The liquid dpm coverage could be a lot less depending upon surface texture, and they are not kidding, if it’s rough it will take a lot more to cover. Usually, products need at least two coats. On setting, it resembles a thick paint, almost a...

    Steel drills question

    Some of the cheaper ones aren't worth a monkeys. Wouldn't drill thru butter. Dormer, as highlighted in a previous post is one of the better makes.

    New computer

    Failure to agree then :) But that doesn't help the OP who was asking for options. Will need to wait and see what their thoughts are, ie if they are going new computer route or cleaning of original one.

    New computer

    A fresh install is a LOT better (in terms of returning performance to original) than trying any/all those (and other) "cleaning" products.

    New computer

    I think chapeau has hit it right on the money. Unless your looking for an excuse for a change of machine. Would be tempted to reformat and reinstall OS and applications if they were available. As was said there should be a recovery partition on the hard drive with the OS (and...

    Sentinel X400

    Have to disagree with that. Read the fact sheet again. It can be left in - yes, time unlimited. "There is no limit to the time for which the product can safely be left in the system" a the fact sheet states. BUT if using other products, it has to be flushed out. "Flush the system...

    Sentinel X400

    I didn't say it couldn't be left in. It needs the enquiry to see if its compatible with other products in the series

    Sentinel X400

    X400 probably reduces the effectiveness of X100/X200 etc which is why it is recommended to ensure the product is flushed out of the system prior to the addition of other products. X400 on its own won't provide corrosion protection etc. as the other products will. As the fact sheet says, it can...

    dot and dab or insta-stik???

    Yes, insta stik is good. As is other similar products. Can't compare to dot n dab, never done it. Always used the insta stick, or similar products for those types of jobs. I felt the PU foam is very easy so never had to try dot n dab. Got the gun grade and gun, bit expensive, one of...

    Insulating solid walls

    Could it be wallrock thermal liner? Its thinner than the stated 10mm though. Have also seen a polysterene lining paper, don't know its trade/brand name. But a local B&Q had some a while back. Don't know if it's regularly stocked in other stores. Wickes do it, or something similar.

    linking existing CH to new UFH system

    Ensure your electrician/plumber has conected the wires as per the diagram and that the "call for heat" is actually connected to 10 (for example). Some peeps disregard the standard wiring arrangement. Ensure you have identified the purpose of the wires.

    Working with rockwool in confined space

    As has been pointed out the vapour barrier would provide a means for condensation so not good. Measure your width between joists (don't assume they will be all the same, for some reason they can differ). Measure the total length you will need for each run. Cut your insulation to width, plus...

    Underfloor Heating

    On the subjuect of installation and cable damage :- There is a gadget you can get now which is connected to the wiring during the installation and will alarm if the cable gets damaged. Could be used in addition to the multimeter testing. Believe it's called a "screamer", should be able to...
