Thanks for all the replies (y) That's what I am trying to decide. But if I leave it then surely it will eventually just wear a hole in the felt anyway so as the loft is pretty much empty now I thought it would be better to fix it now? Plus if I leave it in then it may work it's way down and...

Thanks for all of your answers (y) I've now discovered that all of my cable is actually shielded. Some of it has one overall shield covering all 8 wires whilst some has individual twisted pair shielding. So is it worth going down the shielded route for all components? I think it may be as some...

Thanks for the reply. Unfortunately it's a while since it was done. He did the bulk of the work, took partial payment and then did not come back and finish the job. I did try to contact him but he just simply ignored my calls so I gave up and I ended up having to do the ridge tiles myself. TBH...

Hi all, I have had a new roof fitted on my house and they roofers have left quite a bit of tile offcuts between the felt and the tiles. I have attached a photo. What should / can I do? Any help much appreciated. Kind regards, Mark.

Hi all, Hoping for a little bit help. I am installing a wired home network in my house and I have used some cat5e and some cat6 cable I got for free. Some of it is shielded and some not purely because that it was I had. I am a the point where I am about to start fitting the RJ45 connectors and...

Hi all, I'm currently 1st fixing my security alarm cable in my own self build and I am trying to minimise any visible cable / trunking on / around the window frame. It's all hard wired as I am not a great fan of wireless. The frames are UPVC. I have already fitted 2 concealed Elmdene flush...

A big thank you to everyone for their help with this (y) Hopefully I now have a better understanding and my conclusion is that there are so many current options and potential future options is that the only way to be 100% sure is to have ducting everywhere that allows for additional cable to...

Thanks to everyone for their replies. (y) From the above it is clear that not everyone has the same opinion but based on above I think I will... Put ducting / access points in wherever possible in an attempt to future proof. Have an accessible central point where I will locate my network...

@flameport - Thanks for the reply. (y) My first post may have been inaccurate as I stated that the cables would be running to an inverter which may not be true as I may be installing some form of battery set up so I believe that the cable would run to a controller before the batteries and...

Hi all, I could really do with some help please as my mind is going to explode due to an overload of cabling options :eek: I'm still building my house (10 years in! :rolleyes:) and have recently put the first fix cable in for my security cams, my network and my security alarm and I now need...

Hi all, Can any one tell me if 32mm ducting is large enough to take the cable from 3 banks of solar PV each around 4kw to the invertor? I am fairly sure it is but just wanted to check. Thanks.

@tell80 Photo's.....

I've never heard of anyone using a VB internally around a shower but I have used under my insulation in my non ventilated flat roof. Just to confirm if the VB is attached to the stud wall and then the fixing background is applied over the VB then the VB is preventing any water ingress from...

Yep, gonna either have a sliding door or folding door or possibly just mount the door higher than the lip although I'm not 100% sure this last option will work.

These are the ones I've got, upstand on all 4 sides so hopefully no leaks around the tray. Mine are all Mira and I think they are resin as they are very heavy.

@Ruggers Thanks for that and you're right that I have already bought the tiles as I got them for a good deal a while ago. Can I ask if the panels should be fitted into a background of cement board, moisture resistant plasterboard or plasterboard? And does this require tanking?

OK, so I am still working on this crack, I'm self building a house during the day so have little enthusiasm for this sort of work when I get in on a night! and I have used the Toupret which seems to be a very good filler so thanks for that. However being the numpty o_O that I am I totally forgot...

Hi all, I am ex-tiler and I am currently building my own house which includes 2 ensuites and 1 bathroom. I have already bought the tiles but now I am considering using the panelling instead due to it's alleged ease of fitting and low maintenance. I have put this onto the tilers forum as I want...

It's possible that you won't get any replies as this is the tilers section and I would think these panels are potentially taking work from them as they can be fitted without the need for a tiler. I'm an ex-tiler who is currently building a house and even though I've already bought the tiles I am...

@tell80 - Thanks, studwork all done, it's part of a house build and hopefully I've done it correctly.
