Hi, I am looking at knocking through my kitchen/Dinning room. The wall that will be comming down is 3.4M span. The wall goes all the way up through the second floor and finishes at the floor in the attic. The joist for the second floor are supported by the wall. Can any one tell me which...

Not familiar with this shower unit but you could try looking for a small grub screw on the underside of the lever, at the thermostat side of the shower unit. Once the lever is removed you should have access to the thermostat adjustment

Cheers Guys, I have now plumbed it all in and there are no leaks. I bought the shower from Bath Store. The problem I have now is setting the thermostat. I have set it at the hottest point but when you switch between max (hot) and max (cold) the temp hardly moves. The only way around this...

Thanks for the responses. So swidders, are you saying that I have the right adaptor but need to use more Tape to seal the thread? I want to plumb it in tomorrow. cheers

I have bought some 3/4inch to 15mm compression adaptors but the 3/4 inch male threaded end seems to be a little loose when i connect it to the shower valve. I have put plenty of ptfe tape on but I am sure it is not the correct fitting. What does BSP stand for. The adaptors I have bought do...

many thnaks I will take the shower valve down to plumbcentre in the morning. cheers

Hi all, I have just bought a new shower and found that the connection to the shower valve is 3/4 inch bsp. I am running the shower off a combi boiler on 15mm pipe. I cannot find a 15mm to 1/3 inch bsp adaptor anywhere. I have searched on the net but can only find 1/2 inch to 15mm or 3/4 inch...

I keep getting an error message F04 on my Bosch washing machine. When running any wash programme the cycle stops after about 30 mins and beeps with an error code of F04. Ant ideas anyone??

Hi, I have to plaster out my drylined porch this weekend. I have never used Board Finish before as I have always used the pink Multi Finish. What are the pros and cons of using the Board Finish. I have read some posts on here and when plaster board is being skimmed over, everyone...

Thanks guys great advice. Anyone know where to get the granite chippings?

Shytalk, I don't know of any other way to get the level of the floor, upto the same level of the room I have knocked through too. That was a mouthful!!! I will be tiling over afterwards with 12mm natural stone..

Sorry being a bit thick there. Know what you mean now. I always use 2 coats any way cheers for the great advice

Thanks again Nose all, I will keep the dust and use both as suggested. :D Sorry to be a pain!! Any idea where I can get hold of the chippings. I have searched on Google but can only get bulk bags (1 tonne or 1/2 tonne). I only need enough for 0.14m3 (6 bags).

Oh dear! Best I take the dust back. Any idea where I can get hold of the chippings???? Keyline sold me the dust but they don't do chippings

Thanks again Noseall, I have read the link. One question.. How do you stagger the layers. I was going to use a stop bead, reverse it and plaster up to this. However I was not thinking of staggering the layers.

Thanks guys, Noseall, You mentioned grano chippings. I have bought Grano dust is it one and the same thing? The reason I ask is that the dust I have bought is more like a black sand. It does not seem to have any chippings as such.

I am going to plaster a large ceiling in my kitchen dinner. I want to do it in two stages. I don't want to use a stop bead! Can anyone advice me on the best way to get over the join in the 2 stages showing when finished. Will I be able to trowel the join enough so that it does not show...

Hi all, I have had a bit of advice from someone I do not know that well so I thought I would run it passed some experts.. I am about to screed a floor to a depth of 20-25mm. I know this is not deep enough for a standard screed mix so I have been asking around for some advice. I do not want...

After looking through a few other threads I have found someone doing something similar. So I am looking to screed using a mixture of sand cement and 6mm Granno chippings. Can anyone tell me how much I need and what the mix should be for an area of 0.144mSq, (20mm deep)?
