+ 1 to the above advice! (Oh, just one thing....... :shock: :shock: :shock:

my thoughts revolve around the fact that you say its an extension are you sure the slab was dry? were moisture tests done?

well I am sticking to my original response! done correctly a "full" screed will fix all, up here in the "north" you should pay a pro 15-25 per square metre. Be aware that if the room is small there may/will be a minimum charge. If the floor is really bad a second visit may be required. You...

OK - not the answer you want, but...... council installed wet rooms are notoriously done on a shoestring. their contractors get so little money that loads of corners get cut ....result - they quickly start leaking if they think you have done anything in there that allows them to blame...

Nope - don't do it!!!!!!!!! the proper solution is to have the whole floor screeded if you are not prepared to do this/pay for this then you may (MAY) have some success with filling in with self levelling. be aware that ANY imperfections WILL stick out like a sore thumb under vinyl as...

sorry but photos do not tell all the story...... I suspect that it needs screeding..... but if money is tight AND that is the only damage to the floor then you may get away with a small repair with an "ardurapid" type repair (basically a "mix with water" type of screed, self levelling may...

why? how old is the property? is the concrete smooth? do you think its damp? if so why? what type of flooring would you like? sorry but your initial post was a bit vague and light on info :wink:

you can have any type of flooring But... (if carpets and underlay) I would strongly advise you have any gripper stuck down, ideally the day before - there may be a small extra charge for this

...so true, it was when you were gaming :wink:

[/url] Matty - I am totally aware of your qualifications and experience also thanks for that link (now bookmarked this time :oops: ) But! - my comments were made from experience! - where I trade the local housing trust kicked off at us and its tenants big style over this very subject...

proper method is to use a nosing.... as it is at the top of the stairs ideally a nosing with a non slip insert! you will be shocked at the price and wont like the fact that they are aluminium...(you also need to do a template for a pucker exact fitting size and include the profile) the...

asbestos is nasty stuff..... ...........however a whole new industry of expensive experts has grown around this fact :? blue is the real bad one - white is not! I have yet to see real proof that "marley" tiles are dangerous - after all 60`s-80`s built houses all have them and I don't...

think you will find 4mm ply now comes as 3.5mm.... cannot see 0.5mm making a difference

Ok some questions for you... is this an older house? and were they the hard vinyl tiles? are they elsewhere in your house? the reason I ask is that you have possibly just compromised your floors damp proofing! houses at one time had no DPM under the concrete, your floor was designed...

no fitter will use hardboard anymore.... Why?..... because its terrible quality and plywood is virtually the same price! Ply can be cut with a sharp Stanley knife and if you screw it down then it can be lifted if required for access under the floor

difficult to describe but yes I suppose so, I have been tying off the ball cock and checking levels in FandE tank - no noticeable loss as yet if you are correct what should be done? doitall PostPosted: Sun Apr 21, 2013 9:26 pm Post Subject...

thanks for the reply.... as I said I really do not want to spend any money on the house.... do you mean that there may be a leak inside the boiler??? don`t like the sound of that! what symptoms should I be looking for? there is no steam coming out of the flue

I have a BAXI SOLO 2 60 RS Boiler. It is about 10-12 years old separate heating and hot water and open F and E tank No leaks and all radiators heat evenly and quickly as does hot water Early last winter it became noisy, even the odd banging type noise. I added some X400 and all...

she is currently wetting herself... she was a staunch upholder of democracy including the right of free speech ..........this actually legalises your right to "hate her" something that always "horrified" labour she would welcome a "face to face" argument/discussion with you all...

.......couple of sticks of carpet gripper work wonders I am still looking to return someone's skin but no one has yet tried to claim it ....more importantly no one has complained or climbed my fence since
