Oh apologies chaps I meant to say I had bought the WBP, I was thinking about OSB at the time lol. So WBP ok?

They are to be tiled

Hi KB, just wanted to be clear on what screws to use. Can you post a link to the correct ones if possible? All units are 15mm thick chipboard. I've never seen double headed screws before and a little confused. If I can't locate a stud along the cavity wall what then? EDIT : Great idea...

Went with the cheaper OSB external grade, didn't buy the marine because that's v v expensive. Hope I'm right

Ok fair enough, just wondered if there was some magical little tool for these sorts of thing. I've hired a second pair of hands for the day

I don't fancy my chances, they are notoriously useless, don't even want to get out of the van most of the times I found. And no doubt would pawn me off say they need to get to the next job ASAP

Any ideas for transporting and moving 8x4 sheets of plasterboard from A to B without needing to go upstairs. I'm soon going to be taking a delivery of 28 sheets of soundshield board 15mm. I took a delivery of 12.5mm standard board once on my own (28 sheets) and it ****ed up my wrists for two...

Ok there are so many different types of ply and many are very expensive. This is for a shower enclosure for an ensuite bathroom which has been formed from 2x4 stud with standard 12.5mm around the outside perimeter. I've been told to use ply for the walls and floor of the enclosure, but...

Ok I've today finished assembling the base units. The units are 850 (including adjustable legs which I've fully retracted when I fitted). The worktop is 40mm thick to go on top. So I'm going to allow 160mm for the plinth (as 6mm underlay and 12mm laminate to go down) Do I need to fit...

I'm putting together a kitchen which is from Wickes http://www.wickes.co.uk/invt/193241/?source=123_75 It consists of wall and base units. I've been told to start assembling and then fitting the wall units first but I don't know what height to fit the temporary battens. What...

Someone over heard me in screwfix and told me to use the push fit, so went ahead with that. I won't bury any of that exposed pipe in concrete for the purposes of refitting in case there is a leak. it's only 40mm or so wide so can't see it being a problem once the underlay and then floor goes...

Yeah it's not asbestos, asbestos cement board is not very likely to be found in residential because of the cost when it was manufactured, or so I'm told. Even if it was it would most likely contain crysotile which is the most non-lethal type, they still manufacture board with it in places...

Not so bad after all, the compound stopped flowing about 1.5m down the pipe, thankfully I didn't apply it to thin otherwise I've no doubt it would have run most of the 9m length. Anyway, I've removed the pipe and ready to rejoin with a new piece and refit the elbow at the end. I just...

+1 for skill very impressive

Hi all, Just wanted to know how much of an opening width should I allow for from floor to header? Average door height is 1981mm So from the FFL + 6mm underlay + 12mm laminate timber + door lining 32mm + 3mm gap top and bottom = 2037mm? Or is it better to undersize the opening and...

Yeah both pipes are coming from a megaflow and will feed a sink. Is it the correct type of pipe? In screwfix book it says its for hot water and cold water systems so I thought it would be ?? Hammer drill it is

Quite possibly, I might leave it for a decent floor fitter to do, I can't see myself making a good enough job of it especially since I've limited experience of fitting floors. I just didn't think it through as usual and it's cost me

When pouring the compound a load of it ****ed down one of the supply pipes. It would be funny it is wasn't so tragic. One pipe is unaffected. Both pipes are fitted into a concrete floor and have been sleeved but I fitted the pipe so that it snakes through one door way and around and through...
