Many thanks for the advice That makes perfect sense Cheers

Thanks for the replys guys. So just to make sure.... something like this: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1m-m-xNByFJPf1GWBhbxjJTnkGxpDwjFI/view?usp=drivesdk Junction box to PIR: live + neutral + earth PIR to lamp: SL Junction box to lamp: Neutral + earth If there is any advantage to 3 core...

Thanks for the replys fellas. Apologies, you've lost me. I've only ever used 3 core & earth for 2 way wiring so am not familiar with it in this application. I don't want a hard switch. I want the PIR to have full control of the circuitry. Can I not just deliver Live and Neutral to the PIR...

Hey guys. I would be grateful if somebody could check my understanding. I know how to fit a normal light and switch from a rose. Am I right in thinking that the process is exactly the same with sensor lights except the switch is replaced with something like this...

Thanks for all the insightful comments guys. The Mapei renovation screed seems the best option. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1HGhvzfIa8xtPFn7WXEfpfP7l_8Ja_yX0/view?usp=drivesdk I'll batten the white area with MDF and pipe/screed/tile in between. No point having any of that underneath the...

Thanks for the reply friend. Yes, I've considered the highs and lows, so its 28-30mm of screed that I'll need. I've heard that screeds can go down to 25mm on a normal slab provided its bonded properly, so was wondering if in a UFH application a little bit of SBR + the extra 3-5mm would be...

Thanks for clearing that up for me. I'll ditch the idea of fibres. Are there any additives, plasticisers, or hydraulic binders that can allow me to lay a thinner sand + cement screed? Or do you suggest any alternative recipes? Would drilling holes into the concrete slab provide reinforcement...

Hey guys How thin can you go with an underfloor heating screed bonded to a concrete slab? I've got 28-30mm of flooring to raise. I know that a normal sand cement screed will curl but I've read that screeds reinforced with polypropylene fibres can go as thin as 25mm. Does anybody have any...

Hey guys I'm making some kitchen cabinets out of MDF that I'll be HVLP spraying with a grey matt emulsion. I want a satin finish. I was thinking some type of polyurethane or lacquer but am open to suggestions. Which product do you guys recommend? Many thanks CF

Thanks chief. I was keen on 15 or 16mm anyway so as to provide less resistance to flow seeing as I'm relying on the boiler pump. Do you recommend any particular brand or type of pipe? As far as overlay boards go, my plumber did suggest making custom ones for this reason. He said in the past...

Thanks for the reply buddy. 4 sq m (~21m pipe) kitchen Insulated concrete slab with overlay boards on top for pipes. Tiles directly on top of overlay boards. 6.7 sq m (~34m pipe) bathroom Lino on top of chipboard floor - laid on standard joists. 2 sq m (~10m pipe) passage Carpet, laminate...

Here you go buddy: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1cMjfqKsrKEkRXvUzTU05LCag07sS6Fxx I'd be grateful for any feedback

Hey guys. Does anybody have any experience with these: https://underfloorparts.co.uk/product/underfloor-heating-injection-valve-return-limiting-rtl/ Are they any good? Any recommendation as to what pipe to use with it? The supplier tells me I can replace any number of radiators in the...

Thanks mate already exhausted that option. Neighbour has had 100% success with a tanking slurry so I want to try that option but am faced with the above challenges Thanks again CF

Hey guys. Need some advice on a basement tanking project. 1) I'm trying to clean the wall down to the brick so the tanking slurry adheres correctly, however I'm struggling with a black layer stuck on certain parts of the wall. I have gone through 2 Wire Twist Knot Cup Brush's trying to take it...

Hey guys What's the best way to remove emulsion paint and render off brick walls? I've got small bits and pieces stuck all over. Need to prepare the walls ready to accept tanking slurry. I was thinking something like this...
