Just to say the frame is 70mm thick (hollow obviously)

Thanks chaps, I actually decided to fit the frame on the very outside of the wall, I've fixed it with foam and now I'm going to frame fix it to the stonework. To save a bit of time lukily some holes have already been drilled for it as it was second hand. just wondering if there was any...

Hi everyone, been a while but finally gotten round to trying to sort this. I have teased off some of the render but the frame is 20mm or so to big at worst. I don't know what to do as I bought this door second hand. Before I take a grinder to the stone work which I don't really want...

Just wanted to know if this is right? I have over thought it and run the risk of getting it wrong Any help? No units yet fitted

I was told approximately £300 supply and fit per door. This was to include fitting new fire door, firelinings and fit all door furniture, handles, locks etc and hang I'd say £45 is pretty reasonable to fit per door

There are many ways to do the job, I think hardwall is a reasonable suggestion, if he has mentioned doing it that way it's probably safe to say he thinks the wall is dry enough, which is good. I'm not familiar with using metal channels. In my situation the walls were in a basement and cement...

Are they basement walls or above ground level?

The frame width external is 880mm x 2030mm The opening from wall to wall is 820mm x 2000mm The wall is cob stone ( with about 40mm cement render both sides), so if I take off render I will be able to fit the frame but am I doing the right thing or making to much work for myself? The door...

Just for the record this hasn't worked out very well. The storm down here is mental and I started by placing the board onto the fireplace wall, so the board was being blown off the wall which worried me. It also gave me a sense of how limited the contact is with the adhesive, I'm just not...

Can I throw some on the wall with my fingers?

I've bought some plasterboard with polystryene attached and was going to bond it to a basement stone wall using a bonding foam http://www.screwfix.com/p/soudal-expanding-sticky-foam-750ml/50519 Was just wondering if this will work and whether I'll need to clean the wall before applying the board?

Just wanted some recommendations. I have used the wickes self leveling http://www.wickes.co.uk/invt/154134 and the no-nonsense from screwfix http://www.screwfix.com/p/no-nonsense-pro-50-floor-levelling-compound-15kg/30074 Both produced reasonable results - well reasonable...

How to tank with the OSB? I was going to fit and then tile straight on top. Any further recommendations welcome

Shame I can't find any walk in stores, they only seem to be sold on the internet and I've got the board coming tomorrow! Damm it there's always something!

Before I just go out and buy a stud finder which could be hit and miss just wondering if there is an ingenious method of finding the centers of joists for screwing without making exploratory holes? A bradel springs to mind but still punctures through the existing board. I'm keen not to make...
