Hi guys, We are working our way through the house and next is the current bathroom. It is only 3.5 sq metres and we want to rip it out and turn it into a wet room. Are they relatively easy to install. Would you tank the full room given it's size or just the shower area. I don't want to put a...

I have had an rsj put in the bedroom as it's supporting the chimney above and as a result it's going to be slightly lower than the ceiling. I am going to have it boxed in and wondered is it possible to have spot lights put in the boxing. Do you have to make the boxing deeper to make a void to...

Thanks mate appreciate the advice

So that's a yes then.

I assume that the spotlights are rubbish lighting then?

Hi, i have stripped a room back to brick and ceiling is stripped. At present it has a single light in middle of ceiling and single switch. Can a sparky change this to spotlights and double switch so some lights on some off. Just wondered if this was an easy job for them to do with what...

The steel is 4.3m and its 130kg so we can either go all hands on deck to get it in place or use the genie. The Genie model i have seen has a 6m lift and max weight of 363kg so is ample for what i need. I am wondering how heavy these genie lifts are for getting upstairs are they able to be...

Hi Guys, I asked about moving an a steel rsj which will be about 130kg, the options were to man handle it some how upto the 1st floor window which would hard but maybe possible. However you guys mentioned the genie lifts, are these lifts moveable when extended with the loads on, thinking one of...

Sorry was vague and in a rush at the time of posting, its to get onto 1st floor of the house and just wondered how many of the hairy arsed rugby team it may take

Hi the builder has ordered a steel UC 152x152x30 which on the internet says 30kg per m and mine is 4.4m. So roughly around 130kg. I am getting a few mates round to get it in the house as this cuts down on money i have tp pay the builder for him to hite stuff etc. This weight sounds like...

Hi, We want to put a walkin wardrobe in one of the master bedrooms and wondered if anyone had done this before. It's not goin to be huge but big enough for the room. It would be around 5.5ft wide and 7ft length and just wondered is 3" x 2" best timber sizes for the stud wall. Thanks Lee

How much light does it put in the room, is the light spread out via mirrors in the tunnel. Would be good if you could get a photo on

I assume a builder could make the roof to take the velux and then strengthen so that i do not need the horizontal timbers in the photo.

it could be yes, but think the velux would look nice.

The room is very dark and just thought even a bit of light is better than nothing and is it a difficult job for a builder.

Thanks for the reply, I assume on the photo's you can see the the wood timbers which run horizontal from the front timber into the steel joist at the back. Can they be removed and just have the angled timbers going up into the brick work as the structure allowing from the inside just having a...

Hi guys, I have attached some photos i hope. The photos are ones i got from the builder he did the house prior to us buying it. From the garden photo you can see the extended section to the back of the house with the patio doors. The inside is all plastered and the steel also plastered etc...
