Hello all, I had my kitchen sink taken out by the plumber a year ago and now is the time to attach my new one. At the moment the pipes are cut off like this and capped. I was thinking of using flexible pipes to the fawcet though what sort of valve would be needed to attach to these cut-off...

Cheers all. Yeah I think the mitred joint is best as went to b&q and saw same worktop with the hockey stick joint and it looks good. Also the slight bevel on the edge will leave a slight groove as you said. No metal strip for me as they look awful imo lol

Hey all, I'm getting a kitchen worktop fitted. The carpenter recommends a straight cut with circular saw as the edges are square not rounded, though they seem to have a slight edge bevel so not 100% flush. I always thought a routed miter cut using a jig looks better though is this only needed...

No not the screw holes. Large chunks were chiselled out the floor board planks as they had glued on asbestos that needed removing. So these chunks were filled with the white caulk to prevent any sort of dip in the plywood floor I will be installing over. I think the caulk has dried now. It's...

Not the joists but the floorboards. The Caulk is dry but if I press down on it it is soft and leaves a thumb indentation. I might have to give it a few more days before putting the plywood over it. Here is a picture that shows better of the filled in floorboards. The subfloor/plywood 5mm are two...

Thanks oops. The wood planks are on joists as I'm on first floor flat. The caulk appears to be dry but still a bit soft as I can push my finger through it. Do you think it is dry enough to lay the plywood over?

Hi all, I had huge chunks chiselled out of my floorboards for asbestos removal. I am laying a subfloor on top of the floorboards though need to fill in the large depressed chissled out areas to avoid any possible stability issues in those areas. I used about eight tubes of standard flexible...

Ah ok I didn't know that. I tried cleaning the brush in white spirit though didn't do much good. I just let the rollers and tin foil (placed over roller tray) dry out and binned them.

Quick update. BIN sorted this in two coats! Miracle stuff :)

cheers Robbie, I put an oil heater in there, seems to do the trick.

cheers Robbie. I've been reading up and apparently the bullseye isn't as good as the BIN (oil Based) version, so might need to take it back and get the BIN. Does oil based make a big difference with this sort of thing?

Hello all, In my kitchen there was an area in the corner where the wall meets the ceiling (an old chimney flu) that suffered some damp due to either a leaky roof or heavy rainfall getting inside the open chimney stacks at the top. At the time I had my walls and ceiling skimmed and as a result...

ok good point thanks. I will paint it as normal and just paint over when plaster is dry.

Hello all, I had a bit of s damp plaster issue due to rain water from the roof. They fixed a broken tile and the plaster dried, though it is still not 100% dry. I need this area painted as it is holding up my kitchen renovation and management company might take a while to fix whatever the issue...

cheers footprints. I use this stuff for small filling its great but a pain to mix and really smelly. I think need something a bit more flexible like flexible calk but in a tub :)

Hi all, I had some asbestos paper removed from my kitchen floorboards. It was welded on so they had to chisell out chunks from some of the floorboards. All under 10mm deep (possibly 5mm deep). I'm going to be adding a 5mm plywood sub-floor for laying down Click Flooring planks. Though should I...

ok sounds good. I got some Gripper glue, will just streak it along and hold down.

ok cheers. I might try adding a screw at each corner as a re-enforcement.

Hi dazlight, they are just these matt red tiles where the 1920's cooker was placed. Can I just glue straight on to these or do they need to breath? In this pic they had subfloor on top of them before which I took off.

Hi all, I need to put a plywood sub floor down on my wooden plank kitchen floor ready for vinyl click in planks. There is one area that has red tiles. Can I just glue the plywood over the tiles as opposed to drilling lots of holes for screws? This area will mainly be covered with washing...
