Hi Folks, have a bathroom with nice charcoal ceramic floor tiles laid. It looks well apart from when I clean them (hot water and clean cloths) parts dry a whitish/greyish colour - it looks bad. any tips for cleaning to get that new look? I would buy a specialist BAL cleaner if I thought...

I am at a loss as to how to get the edges to meet up as they should. I am using trim around the window. Only three edges are effected and therefore I need to mitre 2 internal corners. I mitre wood, skirting etc at 45 degrees with no probs and heres me thinking it would be the same but it isnt...

Thanks guys :) not a bad arrangement of tiles....a little flair has been used there and the levels are not bad either! any serious help would be useful to :)

Hi folks, Appreciate anyone taking time to read and assist. I am tiling a bathroom roof to floor (including floor). The bathroom will have a mixer shower over the bath. I am wary re the products I use as I want to avoid any leakage. I know that the quality of the product has a part to play...

Thanks noseall, very helpful. any idea about price?.....i know it could vary widely depending on options.....even roughly or even per square metre. (its 6 foot by 6 foot). to mimick the house it would be a straight forward flat roof pitched at the back running down (if you know what i mean) so...

Hi Folks, This is an area of my property renovation that I have next to no knowledge on so answers to questions much appreciated. I have a small flat roof (approx 6' square) above an entrance porch at the front of the property that has a small leak. All the other houses around me (council...

Thanks Paul, Will do - heading to some tile shops this weekend. Hoping to use BAL range if I can find it......not always easy to find in parts of Northern Ireland. Will seal the ply as you suggested as that makes sense......sorry know this might be stupid question - but seal it with what...

Simple question (I think). To avoid raising levels of floors in bathroom and kitchen I will be replacing the floorboards with 18mm WBP and then tiling directly onto that. Do I need to seal the face and/or edges of the boards before tiling. If I do can you suggest a ready available...

interesting debate.......im sure i will stick with the old tissue paper........i get paranoid enough on working with water. by the way I am not doing the work....a plumber is....just i like to be sure before i start tiling etc thanks all

thanks, no I'm not mistaking water for flux....but i will try advice above to see if condensation thanks

Hi Folks, I need reassurance and/or guidance. Completing several plumbing jobs at the moment and I have exposed (not replaced floor boards etc) copper pipes and joints all over the house. Reluctant to cover over/complete second fixes until I'm sure that they are water tight as It will cost a...

Hi Folks, The inline fan suggested above seems to get very poor reviews by customers who have fitted them. Could anyone recommend one that they know does 'what it says on the tin' Thanks

Ok Thanks ever so much for helping me first of all understand the various options/complications and therefore for enabling me to actually having a plan now! Definitely possible to fit inline fan into space and will extract out to the soffit. Now I understand how that works. How about the...

Thanks, never heard of an inline fan. Looks like that is the only option, at least the easiest, given alternatives. Could you recommend one ta

Thanks, never heard of a 'inline fan'. Could you recommend one that wud do the job. I think I have no choice but to go through the soffit via roof space, thanks

Forget what I said about through wall......just had a closer look I have no space at all on the external wall, so if I'm to go ahead with this I would need to go through the roof space to the outside. This is going to be very difficult as there is probably not enough room in the roof space above...

[/url] Thanks to all for your comments, at least my options and whats involved becoming a little clearer. If I do purchase the above model, what else do I need to complete (apart from the isolation switch, able etc - the spark can get that) I dont think the model from screfix is complete. I...

Thanks, I am not against venting, just would choose a less laboured option if it was available and effective - I take it there is not? I get your point re the fan coming on when you only want light and having to use the light when u want a bath, even during the day when it is not required -...

thanks, lintel not an issue as small space to side of window.

Its a very small bathroom where my external wall is taken up mostly by the window. Would only have space for a standard size. What do you think of the model below then?. If i got this (electrician would be fitting when he here to do other work) what else do I need. I need some type of kit (dont...
