Wap - Yes, they are the only thing he could see (on-line) and the prices scared him off! Cheers anyway.

Thanks for the replies. I'll pass on the prismatics website. Looks to me like there maybe something there. Many thanks

Hello all Just a quick question on behalf of a friend. He is looking for some bright eg Pink, Aqua-Marine wall tiles for his bathroom. Not for the full wall, just for effect. Anyway, he can't find any anywhere. He can see these sort of colours in small splashback type tiles around...

[/url] Thanks for pointing out that option. I've never heard of that before. Out of interest. I presume it costs more that white PVC, any idea how much more typically?

Hello I have recently moved into a new house and have found that the vertical tiles on the outside of the house (see pic) are (a) in need of repair (b) have only about 1cm of paper board between them and the plasterboard in the upstairs bedroom. ie no insulation at all. Therefore, I'm...

Thanks for the advice mattysupra. Much appreciated.

I'm about to install a new bamboo floor in my living room (floating over concrete and suitable underlay). However, I want to put down a DPM and whilst I don't mind paying more for the correct thing, I wondered what the difference between these products are. I'm guessing they are different...

Thanks for the advice David1805. Much appreciated.

David1805, thanks for the reply. The wall is internal and it does look like the ground level internal and external are almost level! There is paving on the other side of this wall, so would you suggest removing and laying 15cm lower?

Hello All I have just removed the fireplace in my living room in order to replace it and when I pulled it out the hearth I thought it all smelt a bit damp. Then I removed the skirting to the side of it and that was rotting and that too smelt damp. I can see what looks like the DPM...

Thanks for the advice Softus. I think maybe a pro plumber could run a pipe up into the loft and down the other side but for a DIY'er like me it's a bit too much work. So unless anyone else has any ideas it sounds like the copper pipe solution is best. Cheers

Hello I've searched through the forums before posting and have seen the details regarding water regs and double check valves etc however, I can't find an exact answer to my question.... My kitchen and rising main is on one side of the house and I want to put an outside tap on the other side...

Thanks ^woody^. Much appreciated

So you don't think I should bother repointing that course? Isn't it likely to get worse?

Just got home and too dark to take a decent photo now but I can say that the pointing and damp proof membrane is 2cm recessed from the front of the brick face. I thought that filling with cement could cause a damp problem by bridging the DPC so thats when I had the mastic idea. What do you...

I'll try to sort out a photo tonight when I get home. Is that so you can see how bad it is?

Hello The pointing on my house needs re-doing in places and I've noticed it is partically bad around the DPC. The house is about 40 years old and the black damp proof membrance has rotted back with the worn pointing. My question is... Can I just cement into the gap as I would any other...
