It was already tiled and couldn’t face it. Couldn't resin fit a threaded bar either as didn't have enough room for the nut. Ended up using 6 x 8 inch concrete screws and managed to get a good fixing.

Hi all I am at the final stages of a bathroom refurb and I have to fit a floating vanity unit…. However the walls are hollow thermalite bricks, covered in dot and dab, then10mm backer board and 10mm tiles. I would say approx 35mm before i get to the thermalite block, but fixing to them because...

Just had a look and it seems fine. I used a little silicone grease to get the pan connector on, so washed that with soap and water to see if that is the problem. Slightly better but still a weep. Can you get anything that slides inside the flexi connector i have from the toilet with a better...

Hi all I have read previous articles but still having an issue. New bathroom and fitted a flexible macalpine pan connector due to it being close coupled and the depth of the wall. When fitted, (i used silicone spray) i’m getting the slightest of weeps. The connector doesnt look damaged, so...

I think for the cost, i’ll get the timber cheaper and I think it will be sturdier.

The insulation is already there and to save cost I just want to reuse, but it sits about 100-150mm above the existing joists, so I’m just looking at raising it. I made the mistake of boarding my main loft on top of existing joists and removing insulation….. i think we lose a lot of heat...

Hi all After having a little time out, i’m just about finished the bathroom….. and in the new year i’m moving on to the next little job… I hope this makes sense….. but I plan to board out the small loft over my extension for storage and I need to raise the height of the joists to allow for...

Cheers for the help. Lights up and down going onto RCD

Yes fuse spur. The lighting (and fan) isnt on the rcd though, but the sockets are.

Fan is on the lighting circuit. It always has been

Cheers for that. It may just be easier to run a FS to the blanking plate above the door then a cable to behind the door

Can you run a led mirror and demister from a lighting circuit without any issues or should they be on a fuse (best practice?. It may be easier just running from a spur

Hi all I’m currently doing my bathroom and I want to fit an LED mirror (with de mister??) to the wall opposite the bath. There was a shaver socket on that wall wired directly into the bathroom lights (1.5 T&E) Can I just reuse that wiring as im getting conflicting info or do I need to run a...

Cheers for the advice, Loctite turned up today and worked a treat 6 hours in and no drips

Yes, sorry the tee into the rad. It has a rubber seal, but just doesn't nip, even with lots of ptfe. Used flomasta liquid ptfe but still seeping

Hi all I need some help!!! I’m currently in the middle of a bathroom refurb and fitting a towel rail with a heater element so I can use it over the summer. I just bought a flomasta 1200 x 500 with a flomasta element from screwfix for ease. The issue….. when I have fitted, i cant get the...

Cheers John

Thanks for that! I didn't know the boards were thermally better than Rockwool! It won't give me the flexibility if I want to make it into a playroom. May have to rethink strategy!

Hi all I'm just after a little advice. I have a 1960s Semi detached house, which had an extension built over the garage 10 years ago. As it's separate from the main loft and an unused space, I would like to convert it into either a storage area or play room for kids. There's not loads of head...
