Has anybody any experience of these plank tiles? I was a bit sceptical but when placed on a floor it takes a bit of pressure to move them. I looked at them in a store and the principal looks good in theory. The ones I've looked at are made by Amtico. Not sure if that is a decent make though...

I didn't get any alerts for this thread and thought I'd had no replies. Thanks to everybody who did reply. Sircerebus666: I was talking about overboarding the existing floorboards that currently form the roof. Not taking them off and replacing with 6mm ply which as you say I'd likely fall...

Hi all. I'm looking to overboard my flat garage roof before laying a new covering. I'm doing this because the roof currently has floorboards and if I use EPDM then they won't be much use. I want to keep the boards as thin as possible because of where a cooker hood exit grill is located just...

My late 60s house is built from imperial LBC Tudors and I recently had the attached garage roof raised by three bricks. Used metric LBC bricks and it looks ok for a match. We got the mortar a good match so like you said that helped a lot. I'm raising dwarf walls up a few courses, the bricks in...

Hi all? I'm looking to buy a few hundred LBC Tudor bricks to match in with existing brickwork I want to add to. I've noticed that Ibstock do Tudors and looking at website pictures they look the same, kind of. Does anybody know if Ibstock Tudors are a good match for LBC Tudors? The bricks I buy...

Hi all. I'm grouting wall tiles that are a matt finish, they are grey 600 x 300 and I'm using grey grout. In the past when I've grouted I used a squeegee type thing but I bought a grout float that wasn't expensive. I'm finding that unless I apply extreme pressure the float doesn't take the grout...

Thanks for all the replies but I've fixed the problem. I couldn't be bothered to take it back because I'd already taken one back and it was a clart on. It had a chunk missing from around one of the fixing holes, yet the broken piece was in the pan. So it had been put there, somebody knew the...

The wife has found the receipt I bought it it in July. They have a 5 day returns policy for damage or missing parts so they might twist at six months. Ah well.

Thanks John but I've decided not to pack it. I can get my little finger into the gap which is all around the front and then tapers back to the rear. It's either cut it or bin it. I want a neat and narrow silicone bead around the base it will be a 10mm fillet if I pack it. The wife is going to...

Paid extra to upgrade the toilet to a pan with no nooks and crannies. Overall though it was cheap and I've already looked at getting a replacement. I might try cutting it I've nothing to lose in reality.

I bought it last year end of summer and then put the work back. I'm not sure I can even find the receipt to take it back. 10mm seems a big tolerance. 2mm fair enough but 10 is a bit mad. I could pack it and put a massive fillet of silicone around the bottom but I don't like that idea. Anybody...

Hi all. I bought a new back to the wall toilet from a local merchant which came as part of a furniture and basin package. Standing it on a level flat surface it rocks from front to back by quite a bit. Pressing it down at the back makes the top of the pan level but there is about a 8mm gap at...

Hi all. I haven't been able to find this out on the web so can somebody help me please. Are the rubber fins on the end of a toilet pan connector designed to go into 110mm pipe. Or do they have to go into a 110mm socket. Thanks.

I work for a company that makes stainless steel flues and lead flashings are commonly used with them. The galvanic effect from different metals being in contact with each other is very small with lead and SS. They are not far apart on the nobility table so corrosion risk is minimal. The reducer...

Aye! thats a point about it not being under pressure. I'll do as you said about counting the turns so that I don't go past and have to back it off. The loctite 55 says you can back it off up to 1/4 turn but I'd rather stop at the right place and not risk any backing off. I've got an overhead arm...

Hi all. I'm tarting up a shower room and fixing an ideal standard shower hose elbow, but I'm a but concerned about fitting it. It has a brass threaded tube sticking out the back and I'm going to set a wall plate elbow into the wall to screw it into. I wont be able to screw it fully into the wall...

I think I'll just buy the plate you linked to and keep my existing valve. From what I've read they are more reliable than air operated. Thanks for all your input it was appreciated.

Do all pneumatic valves have the same connections to the flush button? I've been looking at dual flush air operated valves and they just appear to have 2 tubes. I'm guessing these tubes just push onto the flush plate or button and so any valve can be used with any plate. The tubes are a standard...

I noticed that plate on the link I posted but couldn't find it on its own. I'd really prefer to have a plate with two completely separate buttons but I now know that isn't possible with a cable. The two buttons are always overlapped with a cable operation while two separate buttons are air...

Sorry about the late response to the replies. I completely forgot I'd posted this before going on holiday. The cistern I have is identical to the one in the link. It's unbranded and is for sale on eBay, Amazon and all over the internet at many varying prices. It came as part of a package from...
