hi, thanks for comments Just to update, i have spoken to the techincal department at aquatechnic about there aquaproof product for tanking wetrooms. They have advised me that this is fine to us on chipboard and suggest covering the whole room anyway. Hence i have ordered enough to cover the...

Thanks masona. Is that really the only way. Is there nothing i can paint the floor with to make them stick? Mind you i have to take some of the floor up anyway to make the wet room.

Hi I have jsut put in the joists and laid the 18mm chipboard deck for my bathroom in my new extension. Next job was to tile the floor. I have 300x300mm porcelain tiles to go down but the tile shop have told me not to tile onto chipboard especially the green stuff, and instead i should lay 15mm...

Thanks for that masona. I found that site myself but it isnt as simple as that as i am not flashing th whole chimney. THere is a parapet wall runs up between the two houses (party wall), so effectively the chimney in that picture is split in 2. Any ideas? thanks again

Does any one have an illustration for flashing the hingh side of a chimney. I live in a semi detached with two chimneys on the party wall with a parapet wall running doen the middle so its not like flashing a normal chimney. I have replaced the whole roof and done all the rest of the flashing...

Thanks for that guys I have been working with the BCO throughout the project and he is happy with what i have done so far. He seems go by the rule that there are always alternative ways of doing things than those detailed in building regs, so long as they are fit for purpose. Back to my...

Thanks for that Lee-King Bascially looking from outside the house, the bath will exit on the left, the toilet about 1500mm to the right of this (above a window and the shower about 1500mm to the right of this I shall have to take the toilet out the wall and run it to a stack on the right...

thanks for that. I know there is the whole traditional plumber wont accept plastic debate (just stirring) hence i didnt want to drag ths up again. Just wanted to check what i was planning to do was ok, and it seems it is along the right lines. thanks

the odd bit of plumbing but never a whole system. Got to start somewhere. Managed to build the whole house so far from digging the foundations, to bricking the walls, building a roof, installing the windows etc etc etc and i,ve never done that before either. Taken me 18 months so far but hey, i...

thanks but not sure what those anwers mean. Is thisw ok but you just arent pro plastic full stop?

I am installing a whole new heating system and hot water system including new indirect boiler, pipes, radiators and pressurised unvented cylinder (i know this needs testing) Should the water exiting the boiler go to the hot water cylinder prior to being pumped around the radiators or should...

I dont want to get into the whole plastic verses copper debate as i have decided to go mainly down the plastic route with plumbing my whole house. Question is, presumably i cant connect the plastic straight into the boiler so i was going to run the last metre of so of pipe in copper. Is this...

Thanks for all your help. THink i know what i am doing now but will just check. The toilet will come out the wall with 110mm soil pipe. I shall then connect this to an elbow to take the waste a few feet to the right (as there is a window bleow the toilet) where is shall connect into 92.5 deg...

no there is no other stack. The ground floor bathroom had a toilet before being ripped out and the kitchen now goes into this and runs under the concrete floor. all other plumping is new as we currently have no bathrooms! (hence joined the gym to use theres) thanks for your help. Do i use...

thanks 40mm shower waste it is then. No there is no existing stack. It is a new bathroom running down the outside of a new extension.

I need to plumb my first floor toilet through the outside wall to a stack. Question is do i just use standard 110mm soil pipe throught the wall from pan connector to a 90 deg elbow or does it need to go into a branch to have vent above? Also the shower wast needs to connect into it at some...

Yes another wet room query but none seemed to match my circumstances exactly. I am building a new bathroom in my extension on the first floor. I have just put the floor in and the 18mm chipboard floor. It is a fairly large bathroom withonly the walk in shower that will get wet. I was planning...

Thanks Could that be the quickest bit of advise ever. I left a good 12 inch extra DPM when casting the slab so that should surfice. thanks again
