We now have a noticeable gap between our bottom stair riser and newly installed floor which we're not sure how to fill, as it's uneven and doesn't look good. The gap in question is shown in the attached photo. The risers will be painted white. How would you suggest we fill this gap, so that...

That's a good tip, thanks ericmark.

That's good to know Tigercubrider, we'll have a think about the silicone option.

Thanks for responding Tigercubrider. The gap was supposed to be 1mm, but is nearer to 5-10mm.

Our hearth is sat on a plinth which was supposed to be only 1mm taller than the height of the wood floor which has just been laid, to allow the floor to have an expansion gap beneath the lip of the hearth sat above it. As the photo shows, clearly something went wrong somewhere as the gap between...

Thanks Paul205, it did help.

Paul205, thank you. We'll run the conduit in the groove and leave the end of the probe poking out of it into the the end of the groove furthest from the wall. Is that correct? Do you know why we would not want the end of the probe lying above the groove with the engineered floor directly on top...

I haven't been able to find the answer to this question anywhere, including from a previous post, but time's running out as our flooring is being laid next week! We will have a floor probe running in a conduit, held in place by tile adhesive, in the channel cut into the screed. The channel and...

Madrab, thank you, I’m bloomin’ glad I asked! This one’s out of the running now following your advice, back to the drawing board.

Screw removed and the plate lifted like magic, thanks again denso13! I've attached a picture of the hole beneath the tap through which the hot and cold inlets run, along with a copy of the instruction manual for a new tap we like. I want to ask, do those of you who know about plumbing whether...

denso13 thank you. No, we hadn’t removed that screw as we hadn’t seen it! Hopefully that helps!

We have a free standing tap in our bathroom which we need to replace. To see what replacement taps will work we have to remove the base which is shown in the photo covering the tiles. We've unscrewed it from the floor, however we have no idea how to do this and the manual that came with tap is...

As you can see in the photo below, we have a channel cut in the screed for the conduit containing the UFH floor temperature probe to run in. The probe is there to measure the subfloor temperature and prevent it from rising above 27C, which could damage the engineered wood floor which is to be...

Thanks for the explanation 23vc. I think our channel is of this type, but here’s a pic just to be sure! Silicone has been removed despite every bathroom fitter telling us it should be there, hence we’re doing this on our own now!

Thanks too 23vc. Do you mean that we can adjust the enclosure so that we can move it within the channel it sits in? I just want to make sure we do it right!

Thanks Woody.

Thanks 23vc, we'll check with a level. The problem is that I suspect we can't do anything about the floor and walls if they're not level and plumb, I'm happy to be informed otherwise though. Any idea if we can adjust the hinges for example? The instruction manual wasn't helpful in the regard...

We've installed a frameless shower enclosure and for some unknown reason the bottom of the door doesn't close properly, whilst the rest of it does. I've searched here and on YouTube for advice and haven't found anything which has helped and the manual was less than useful. So, once more I'm...

Lol!

noseall, that's amazing, thank you. Can we use these to close up the currently open weep holes we have in the mortar shown in the attached picture? I was just about to buy something to do this, so are these what we should use here?
