It is a semi that is virtually a terrace, there is absolutely no side access. There is barely a front garden. The floor was rotten, outside the scope of works, and has got to be changed pronto as it's holding up the build. The ground floor bathroom needs to go in before Christmas.

What sort of info? Its a semi in london The floor is now mud, the old floor has completely been ripped out. Floor height is about 400mm above soil level. That might be wrong.

Hi, We've had to completely remove and throw out what was currently in place on the ground floor. Due to venting, we need to put in a suspended timber floor. Could anyone please advise how much I should expect to pay per m2 for a suspended timber floor, with chicken wire holding rockwool...

Thanks very much for the info Cheers R

Hi, Please could someone explain to me the differences between plastering on plasterboard on a ceiling, compared to plastering on metal lath on a ceiling. Thanks very much R

The view of everyone is that 9mm plasterboard is too think for whats up there. I would've thought that metal lath would work. Pinned to the joists. The metal lath is very thin, less than 1mm thick. I would not have thought you'd need to put +8mm of plaster up to cover the metal. I...

It's already quite ornate for not a big room, so i'd prefer not to add another section. I'm thinking a metal lath like this, pinned to the ceiling and then plastered on...

Hi, We have a cracked with small holes, plaster and lathe ceiling. We've been told to over-tack with plasterboard and skim. The issue is that the old Victorian cornice remains. To overtake with 9mm plasterboard and then plaster would not work as it would create a ceiling that...

Hi All, Just wondered what the pros and cons were of a System Boiler + Unvented Cylinder, when compared to a Glow Worm Ultra Power? Space for installation is a bit of a premium for us. We will have 2 bathrooms, both working simultaneously, and a separate cloakroom. It is a 4 bed house...

Anyone - please?

Even with piano hinges, would it not just sag off the frame?

Hi We are extremely tight on space and would like to know the minimum area for a SERVICEABLE space for a 210ltr Megaflow and a boiler (Valliant). They will be located in a cupboard. I don't know if it's possible to locate the boiler above the Megaflow? Its a completely new install...

Hi, Hoping you can offer some ideas. - A double door size gap - A 2 stair drop on one side - On the other side, one of the door cannot be left open as it blocks another door. So I think both doors need to go fold back onto one side of the door. Like a bi-fold door. My trouble...

I've just checked the plan and for the entire house there are 48 downlighters, in a 4 bed, 2 bath, 2 reception room terraced house. I'm not sure if you think that too much? There is a single storey extension kitchen which will have downlighters and pendants. The main reception rooms...

Thanks very much. Costs are included for "dimmable GU10 LEDs" at present. The MK logic range looks good, thank you. If i wnat the face plate fitted as flush to the wall as possible what should i ask for? As for the LED fittings, we don't want to go down the retrofit route. Thanks for the...

Correct. I have now edited to make clear. I just want to make sure I specify decent equipment for the electrician to fit. Thanks

[EDIT: I am not doing the work. A qualified electrician is] Hi, I'm doing a complete house refurb including re-wiring. We would like dimmable LEDs downlighters throughout the house. We've thought of getting - Mains LEDs in all rooms, except the bathrooms where they should be low...
