thank you all for your replies. I am going to read the document linked by wessex 101 and come back... i think i will be telling the client that if he wants a dormer - we need a planning application - will this be £172 as for extension to C3 or £385 for a full planning app? if he doesn't want a...

I am trying to find out whether an application would be needed to convert a loft space of a 3 bed small HMO (classC4), into a new bedroom and re-arrange internally to create a further new bedroom - thus becoming a 5 bed small HMO (class C4). if this were a dwellinghouse i beleive the works would...

i think i might try the filler on the areas that i am not happy with, and if it still doesn't look great, call a professional thanks Eddy

do you mean a plastic trowel to skim and a sponge float for the final run over? Eddy

my other thought was to get a professional in - how much would i be looking at? 3.5x4.5m ceiling Eddy

hahaha! like your avatar - i will wear goggles :) Eddy

Thanks again Joe-90. I have some B&Q ready mixed joint filler for some plasterboard areas - i will use that after a light sanding of the hight spots, then sand after it has dried... Eddy

thanks Joe-90 - i struggled so much the first time...i want to avoid doing it again! Eddy

Hi, i have skimmed my ceiling - it was old plaster that had partially collapsed. I did a bonding layer in the repair patch to level woith the original lath & plaster ceiling. Then i PVA'd the whole ceiling and applied the 2 coats of skim (multi-finish). near the end i dolloped a big load into my...

Can i use bonding to fill the joints? there is foil backed insulation behind the plasterboard - will this make any difference? Will i be ok just using bonding straight onto brick party wall up to the level of the current plaster and then skim the whole lot? or should i dot and dab some...

trim it back - do you mean sand down? Eddy

do i need to fill all joints as well as tape or just tape the 'good' joints? Eddy

so panel pin it, skim dab it, skim coat over it? great, thanks Joe-90 Eddy

I have some areas where i need to infill with bonding - shall i be using this to attach my thin coat angle beading to the window reveals on the new plasterboarded areas? i have heard that a dab of skim every 300mm will keep the beads in place but that sounds iffy to me? I also have some large...

Hi guys, found the leak today!!! went under the house and firstly listened for a drip, i heard one, found it, tightened the push fit type connection and hey presto - pressure remains constantly betwen 1 and 1.5bar :) Happy Man Thanks for all your help - quite liked the idea of pouring perfume...

As i (suppose) i expected, the pressure stayed at 1.5bar with the flow & return valves closed. I cannot return the flow valve to open now! it seems properly stuck in the closed position!!!! I need this open tomorrow to fill the system so that the leak will be dripping, don't i? Eddy - We will...

closed the far left black valve and the far right black valve. i guess the middle (slightly to the right) black valve is the water feed? I have left this open... Eddy

thanks Stormer - i will try that...

my job for tomorrow is to find this pblasted leak and try to fix it!!! today i am trying to narrow my search. i swithed the far left (original post photo) black valve to 'off' - i am assuming this is where the hot water leaves the boiler on its way to the radiators. i did this and then topped up...

Gigz - where would i add that? Eddy
