    Ply or backer board for bathroom floor?

    Currently reaching the flooring stage in my bathroom and I know that I can't tile directly onto the floorboards. But if i want to tile the floor what would i best be putting down before i tile? The floorboards are relatively level with maybe 1mm variance here n there. Just wondering what...

    13a or 16a required for this oven?

    Exactly, normally ive read that double ovens are 16a and hardwired. But im just worried that if i buy it, then something goes wrong. The fact that I havent followed the manufacturers instructions means that warranty will be void. Even though like you said the manufacturers official instructions...

    Changing wireless recievers wiring advice

    I currently have a boiler (Worcester Greenstar 30i combi) which already has a wireless receiver connected to it (British Gas WR1). I am changing over to the tado system and just wanted to check I am wiring up the reciever correctly. I have just opened the faceplate of the existing reciever...

    Glass panel measurments for stairs (rake)

    In line with my previous posts about my newel posts I just want to double check my measurements for the glass panels which I am looking to order. So I've gone the surefire way about the pitch of my stairs by using the digital angle measurer which shows 47⁰. Which I'm also quite surprised as I...

    Having a return VS having an extra Newel Post?

    Ahhhhh gotcha, Yeah the problem they said was that they can't produce a glass panel 50mm wide, it's too small apparently. With a 90mm gap you need 20mm off each side for the wedges to hold the glass panel inside. So leaves me with 50mm left if I was to put a glass piece in there but then they...

    Having a return VS having an extra Newel Post?

    Yeah basically what has happened is that they've done something with the stairs where they extended the width of the landing but then the handrail was like literally 600mm height which was under regs so it all had to be torn down anyways. The existing posts are still there (but chopped down) so...

    Having a return VS having an extra Newel Post?

    So the alternative was that he said they can even produce a 280mm wide newel which would essentially be a triple newel but straight only. So it'd basically be a newel the width of a typical 30cm ruler lol I think that would just look too chunky for my liking. We are going with a modern clean...

    Which aggregate to add to self levelling compound?

    Ahhhhh yes we will be using the bag & bottle latex stuff. In regards to the limestone aggregate, because it's for internal use will it leave lumps/bumps? Because I need to lay LVT flooring over the finished Screed/SLC Or is it a case that I would put down a bed of the aggregate first and then...

    Having a return VS having an extra Newel Post?

    Currently pricing up stairs refurbishment and i have been given the option of either having a return or putting 2 posts. Because it is going to be all glass, There is a gap at the top of the stairs (on the landing) where i can have either a return with a piece of glass, so it'd pretty much...

    25mm depth backbox not deep enough for faceplate

    Ahhhhhh yes that looks like exactly something that I was thinking of. But the only thing is that it looks like where the faceplate actually goes in only brings it out like a few mm, as it seems its on 2 different levels. But yes exactly something like this. Does it make any difference if its for...

    25mm depth backbox not deep enough for faceplate

    Currently have 25mm backboxes in the wall But the faceplate that I have is one of those ones with the USB connector on so its abit deeper. With the cables inside the backbox the faceplate won't fit on because when you push the faceplate on, it pushes the cables in (as per usual) but it just...

    What type of Screed / Self-leveller to use? 30mm depth req

    yeah thats the problem we have with our floor atm, the fact that its weirdly bumpy and not just like sloping in 1 corner, its like got raises and hills etc so the minimum mm would have to be very flexible if it were to be sand/cement, and hence why we ruled that option out. ah, so is Top Cem...

    What type of Screed / Self-leveller to use? 30mm depth req

    Ahhhh yeah we have primed the floor with SBR as we read that is a good type of primer to use and i think moreso that it will adhere to the bitumen. Yeah we arent actually in a rush as the house isnt even ready overall and taking shape slowly, so would there be a big advantage to doing it in...

    What type of Screed / Self-leveller to use? 30mm depth req

    Our current renovation stage has moved onto the flooring part and we have lifted up all the old flooring which was old parquet stuck down with bitumen. There is still abit of bitumen on the floor which we are not sure if it contains asbestos so we are not going to tackle or touch it and instead...
