In general, they suggest stagger-laying to avoid having all the ends resting on the same joist. The Norbord technical helpline could probably give you a definitive answer for your particular situation. no idea about the total weight side of things!

I'm starting to plan the refurb of our (dated and slightly neglected) 1930s house, and will be using contractors for a lot of the work. I am looking for a Scope Of Work template that I can use to capture all the tasks / elements / timings / costs to make the Quote process and the Project...

hiya unless it has been damaged or degraded, asbestos cement is one of the less brittle / friable types of asbestos. It's not necessary to be licensed to work with asbestos cement (but if you go 'diy' you would still need appropriate PPE, and disposal still has to be arranged through a...

thanks so much guys all walls are rendered (why...??) apart from the front of the house, so not able to see the brickwork there. Also, no windows at all in one of the flank walls. Still, the front elevation looks like Flemish bond. I will measure the reveals and let you know. would I...

Thanks. I will have a look for some distinguishing marks on the fitting. It's about 2 years old, and probably an el-cheapo job (rented flat). It's a bath/shower mixer tap, horizontal bar style, that has a tap on the left end that regulates flow, and a tap (edit: cartridge) on the right...

Other taps stay about the same temperature. For the hot taps, the flow level starts off "as set" by the turn of the tap, but goes progressively weaker after 20 - 30 seconds as the water heats up. Then the hot tap has to be opened further to get back to the flow required. This has always...
