I was following this guy. He used some sort of sealant which he doesnt mention, regular scrim tape plus tile adhesive on the joins.

Look similar to marmox https://nassboards.co.uk/product/tile-backer-boards-2/ Ideal for two main purposes; as an excellent waterproofing surface to fix either wall or floor tiles and as a excellent heat insulation for underfloor heating systems. Its for a showerbath. When you mean taped -...

To plasterboard a ceiling is it better to use smaller 1800 x 900 sheets or bigger 2400 x 1200 sheets. It will be skimmed over so I should be ok with square edge and using scrim tape on every edge? The previous ceiling was removed so the ceiling joists are exposed.

I was going to use these type boards with mechanical fixings and dot and dab onto brick and then glue the edges with a high strength PU Adhesive.

Need to seal tile backing board on the edges where they join. Need an adhesive that fills the gap, joins and is waterproof - I cam across STS megastrength adhesive but never heard of the brand.

So when I have the bath fitted my options will be - one of the following. I take it all are acceptable or is one type of trap better than another? Or should I avoid the combined bottle trap and waste overflow? 1 2 3

What does pulled mean in this context? The waste will discharge into a hopper. I could to add a few cm secure the bath feet onto battons - then use an mdf side panel which is height adjustable with its plinth. The bath will be a reinforced straight bath as it will also be used for showering.

There is about 10-11cm clearance under the bath to the floor. So as long as the bath trap can fit in that space then I can get it out through the wall. The pipe will discharge into a hopper.

Sorry this is the loft in my house. The tiles are above. This is from inside looking at the roof felt.

I had a 4.5m iron gutter replaced with a nice quality black plastic ogee one for £200 which included cleanup. To supply and replace 3 chimney cowels with chimney caps and repair flashing around chimney - £150 - all to a terraced house. Not sure if that is expensive or cheap - just needed it doing.

The roof felt is torn in one place and sometimes when its heavy driving rain there is a leak. I tried flash banding but it didn't seem to stick to the felt. Can I use some sort of roof sealant or adhesive with the flash banding or just tape up with gaffer tape?

So I will drill an extra hole. I have kept the power and ethernet cables apart but in one instance they have crossed. Will that be problematic?

How much clearance do I need for a bath waste and trap? I really can't have the bath waste and trap lower than the floor as I will have issues with getting the pipe to the outside as there is a first floor roof that I cannot cut into. One possibility is to raise the bath on an inch of wood to...

I am having an outdoor floodlight fitted and I was wondering whether I could use the same hole in the wall to push through my cat 6 cable which I will use to connect a POE camera. Or are you not supposed to run cat 6 cables next to power cables? So I need a new hole drilling?

Any brand of loft ladder I should buy? Keylite Fakro?

The space between the ceiling joists is 30cm so I assume the widest loft ladder I can add is 60cm. My next question is when is the best time to do add loft legs? Now before the ceiling is boarded up ? would having the loft legs up make it hard to lay the insulation? Whats the order? 1) Board...

Can I do the following. I am just worried I may weaken the ceiling joists as I want to put up floor legs and use the attic for light storage. Move the loft hatch to the new opening where joist 2 will be cut. Before joist 2 is cut I need to close the current loft hatch. How many braces should I...

The ceiling joists are 30cm apart, the current hatch is 40cm x 60cm. I would like to fit a Keylite loft ladder but the smallest size they do is 60x 1200. So would it be wise to move the hatch?

12.5 x 3 = 37.5 plus 12.5 for the plasterboard so 50mm?

Well the ceilings have been dropped so they won't be overboarded - what size drywall screws should be sufficient just to attach the plasterboard into the floor joists. Would 40,50, 60mm ? I think 60mm would be overkill?
