Reasonably straight forward, although this is me first large scale effort. :roll: My previous experience consists of removing half a dozen tiles from the downstairs toilet in order to replace a single cracked tile in the en-suite and then tiling up the downstairs toilet again! The tiles...

I have had a good read and usual it instills me with fear :roll: Looking at the Bal products there doesn't seem to be a huge difference between Bal Blue Star, Bal Grip and Bal Green Star...or am I missing something? I would prefer to go with the ready mixed stuff to keep things simple...

Hi there, I am just about to start my bathroom project in the next week and was wondering what opinion there are on tile adhesive / grout? Are there all a much a muchness or some better then others? What about compounds that do both jobs?

Door just lifts off! :lol: Not easy putting it back though :roll:

Apologies, but this is probably a really dumb question. I want to paint the front door and change the draught excluder. How does the lift off hinge work? What do I need to do to take the door off? Do I need to hammer the hinge pin somewhere with a screwdriver or does the door just lift...

Interesting. I only put it up in about a third of the loft in the storage area because the books were going mouldy because of condensation. Since it has been up we havent had a problem with the mouldy books. :?

thiking about this some more..do yuo mean that by placing the skirting boards back on the wall that little bit of downward pressure it will have on teh floor will keep it in place?

Im my loft I have some mineral wool between the rafters held in with a couple of batons. Is this a no no then???

Thanks. Have done the skirting boards off and under cutting of the door frame, although the skirting boards aren't back on yet as i wanted to give the floor a month or so to settle....plus I need to get round to sanding and repainting the skirting. :roll: I currently have say a 10mm gap...

Thanks for that. Any thoughts on the best way to reduce a floor from moving around on the underlay? I have a small area previously laid in teh hall way which seems to move around alot under normal foot traffic. i.e. say you put your foot on the floor and twist it around...teh floor...

Apologies for repeating a question that is asked alot. It is normally asked in the context of wood engineered / wood flooring. For laminate flooring rather then wood engineerned / wood flooring an expansion gap of 10mm is still required...yes? Thanks.

Hi! I have just installed my first laminate floor in the hall way. Approx 10ft x 4ft. Now completed the floor seems to be moving a little under traffic. Basically every now and then I notice that the edge under the door moudlings has slid out. Any solutions before I put the skirtings...

any thoughts at all? :?:

I am at the preparation stage of laying a new laminate floor. Thanks to the advice on here I went all in and took off the skirting boards. :D In a couple of areas I need to fit new carpet trim / flooring trim (because obvioulsy I am going from carpet / carpet to carpet / wood flooring. -...

I must admit I had lots of trouble with the one I hired. I got the impression that it was primaryly because the ground was so hard. If you are going to hire one suggest you water the lawn well for a good few days before hand It always looked easy in this video though...

Sorry, but what do you mean by "sweat the 4mm conductors on"?

The one in B&Q looks like this, but it doesn't have the nozzle. http://earthcrimpconnectors.co.uk/

No I believe not....unfortunately by the sound of it :cry: In B&Q t'other day I saw some Earth Clips which where effectively a ring of copper that fits snugly around the pipe and a screw through a protruding part at the top. Is this effectively the same thing as teh more traditional...

Yes, it is a central heating pipe. I have recently had a couple of towel radiators fitted so I can't use a radiator clamp anymore. I am trying to make it look as tidy as possible, but it is not easy! What are the normal solutions to towel radiators because you don't generally see wires...
