Yes, in my first post I also showed a picture of where I want it positioned. Elevated, on the wall.

ah right, its a full aluminium unit with i think the electrics (LED unit and shaver port) in the back end, so hence unable to modify.

As in cutting the actual unit back to a shallower depth?

Ahhhhh as in to the room next to it? Should I maybe have a thin layer of insulation behind the box? Otherwise it would be butting up directly against the back of the plasterboard on the other side

The recess of the unit itself is around 60-70mm as that's the depth of the studs. So that only around 25-30% of the unit sticks out past the finished wall (after boarding and tiling) The unit I have is quite deep in a sense so if I was to have it directly above my sink it would stick out more...

Yes it's plaster boarded on the other side, the room on the other side is getting skimmed next week so I thought that I'd best do this install for thr vanity unit now so that if the board breaks at least then we can re-board before the skimming takes places. Ah ok nice so two horizontals at the...

This is what I originally thought. The yellow bit would be 2 joist hangers for the top piece and then another 3 pieces of timber all together in what would essentially be a square frame going around the unit. Just basically to ensure that the vanity unit wouldn't be bearing any load. Thank you...

Hi there, currently working on our bathroom renovation and I want to recess a vanity unit into a timber stud wall. The unit itself is 60cm wide so cannot fit in between the 32cm centers. Basically it requires to cut out an entire section of one in order to fit it in. I have all the tools...

The backboxes I actually got was 25mm's metals This is also the faces that I got too which say 25mm metal or 35mm dry lining box (guessing for plasterboard)...

Thanks guys, went and got an SDS hammer drill and went through with it and got it flush pretty quickly tbh. Obviously mine was timesaving thinking at first but if to do it properly required it then definitely doing it. I got it to fit a 25mm box in but I'm guessing I need to go with 35 if I'm...

So I'm just chasing the sections for my new backboxes. They are 25mm deep and I've basically managed to chase the plaster depth pretty OK (hitting upto the brick). When I put in the backbox now it sticks proud about 9mm. The entire wall is getting reskimmed anyways so that will bring it out...

Sorry for the late reply, yeah i used to have loftzone in my previous house but in that house the roof was abit higher so i could still roughly stand up inside, but in this house i am already on knees when going into the loft so i didnt want to raise the height of the floor any further. and...

Not looking to do a loft conversion or to turn the loft into a habitable room. Just want to put xmas decorations and boxes of clothes up into the loft. There is currently old wool insulation between the Joists and i would like to put something rigid and solid down so that i can use the loft as...

Ah ok I was going to ask this, so I took up all the wooden blocks yesterday and what's left is the residue/glue (bitumen) on the bare flooring. Do I even need to bother scraping this stuff off if I'm going to be putting a layer of dpm (sheet I assume) over this anyway? Thanks

Ah yes so that doorway in my picture is the dining room to livingroom, inside the dining room there is also a doorway into the hallway, these levels will also probably be just off so will probably ended up brining up the hallway slightly too......which then leads to a downstairs toilet, which I...

There is currently a 25mm difference between the dining room and living room floor (seperated between a double door). The livingroom is the part which is higher than the livingroom. Checked with a surveyor and he said it is due to settlement and shouldnt move any further. I am bringing up the...

No we dont, if it was the herringbone type we probably would and reclaim it but its the inlaid parquet (squre block style) which my wife isnt a fan of so we wouldnt look to keep it tbh.

Just looked further and i wasnt aware that certain types of screed can go upto 40mm in thickness. i always assumed it was just to form a top layer of about 10mm or less. and that they can also go straight over Parquet flooring (according to this product)...

Afternoon, currently in a house renovation project and in certain areas the downstairs floor has a 30mm gap in some areas of where the skirting board is to the floor level. At first we knew it could be a multitude of things but we just had a pretty nice guy come over who specialises in...

Just thought I'd provide a quick update. Spoke to a friend of a friend who is a plasterer and he said that there's a product called Thistle Bond-it, which essentially turns a slippery (smooth) surface into one that can be plastered onto, which I'm hoping will save us the time in further...
