Thanks for the reply guys I am hoping to treat it more as a 'radiator' then as an actual typical UFH in screed setup. Idea is to run it for an hour or two in the evening to warm the floor whilst you dry yourself & an hour in the morning prior to brushing teeth etc. We have our en suite...

We are looking to have wet UFH installed under our main bathroom floor. It is a new build house with joists 600mm apart. I was intending on asking the plumber/builder to noggin heavily the floor, pack it out with Kingspan/celotex and then run UFH pipes through the notched noggins. What...

We had a terrible creak from where a floor disappeared under a stud/follow new build wall, our carpet guy drilled in 3-4 big screws at an angle to clamp the wall and floor together and it worked a treat! We got a hairline crack between skirting board and plasterboard wall, but some caulk quickly...

Just search for 'Water Butt Pump'. Failing that, I bought a big Water Butt and use a Hozelock 3.5bar pump to give me better-then-mains water pressure for washing the car etc! it is fantastic for washing the cars & the garden during the summer, especially as rain water leaves very few water...

Thanks for the reply. Useful to know that's how the screed would be delivered, that'd work refine for us. I was figuring the plywood, underlay and carpet would help defuse the heat, and the insulation in the bose helps push the heat you and not into the void underneath they floorboards. The...

Thanks for the advise guys, I am now leaning fully towards doing it properly and ripping everything out. With getting the screed pumped in, the lorries obviously have a boom on them to get the pipe in the right direction, how much can the pipe be extended to get into doorways and down hall ways...

Thanks very much dilaio, why is the need for such thick screed? Due to where the house is and distance from the ''lane'' that runs through the village we'd never get a mixing truck/large appliances on site to pump large amounts of screed in. Could we get away with a thinner build up of screed...

Sorry, for not being clearer. The lounge is a simple suspended floorn(floor boards on joists) which we can mostly access above and below. Not too worried about this, as we have all options open. Just worried about the weight of screed on the joists, but trusting the builder on this. Dining...

We are renovating an old property up north, that has a cellar and solid brick/concrete floors onto floorboards/joists in part. These are uninsulated, but in good and level condition. We can't dig down due to the cellar and solid concrete/brick floor built on top of it, but we desperately need...

Thanks mate, welcome other recommendations. This adhesive is as much to take up that extra mm or two between the brace & the wetroom tray as it is to stick them together.

I have a Wetroom tray that was incorrectly fitted, causing it to flex ever so slightly - repeatedly cracking the grout. (It should be on 400mm joists, they installed it on 600mm joists) To rectify it I am taking out the ceiling below it, and bracing it up from beneath. In short, I am...

Does anyone know of one? With hot water, heating, then 2 zones of UFH (kitchen & upstairs bathrooms) I am looking to consolidate all our current 'stats. Hoping to find one that can be accessed via mobile phone/Wifi, is wireless around the house and can controlled all 4 zones separately/timed...

The house is only 5 years old, so wiring is all well up to standard! Would welcome any explanations on how it should be wired in place - as I said plumber is taking it on himself to do it, I just want to make sure Im not staring at it blankly as he does it. Thanks :)

In short the plumber is back tonight to do the work as he cant find a sparky for the next 2 weeks as he originally thought. Due to the quality of his work so far I am inclined to let him undertake this. I just want to make sure I have a rough idea of what he needs to be doing/make some...

Plumber doesn't really do wiring, which has left me without a working UFH system. No electrician available for the next week+ so plumber is now looking at doing it himself. I want to make sure I have an idea of what goes to where/some ideas to discuss with him to make sure he knows what he is...

It is a Megaflow pressurised system, and this was just an adapter to bodge the great big 300mm shower head onto our current handheld shower handle so we can check the pressure/flow before the 'cooling off'/returns period expires for the big shower head. The shower head itself has a 1/2"...

We are going for a new bathroom, and I like the idea of a 300mm shower head (along with a hand held one) but my wife isn't convinced about 300mm have enough guts to wash shampoo out etc. As a result I was going to try and hook it up to our current shower to trial it whilst we are still...

Thanks for the quick reply guys, unfortunately I work with cars not plumbing so a lot of this terminology is lost on me. Could you please elaborate? In short, I currently have a 2 Zone setup i think, 1 zone for heating 1 zone for hot water. This is all controlled via a wireless thermostat...

I am looking at getting a plumber to fix in a 2 zone wet underfloor heating into my pressured system. Not fussed about individually controlling the zones, I can disable the second via the manifold which is all I need at this stage. The kit comes with the below, but I don't see a zone valve in...

Thanks guys, pure vertical joists are a good point. That was my next question actually, what the 'done' thing is for joining two plasterboard sheets together, If anyone could advise I would be grateful. Cheers
