gripper gap should be 2/3rds the thickness of the carpet.

Ummm. Sounds like trouble. Do you have proof that the screed was mixed 4/1? or was that what the builder said? unless doing yourself or you can check material used i would never trust. As a example i was out on site and there was the correct quantity of sand + cement for mixing 4/1...

you need a product called 'feather finish' or 'skim coat' Fball (stopgap) make one called F500 Ardex make one called i think 'feather finish'

always going to be a issues when the space doesn't have the ability to breath . Normally speaking the flooring above a ceiling has heating so a matched environment . In your case you have a very cold area above so moisture will get trapped on the colder surface (dew point) To get around this...

Sorry if my comment sounds harsh, but you are having issues for a reason. This is a DIY forum so we will help you. If your unsure on something then ask the question. Also, there are courses out there to teach this sort of thing if you would like to learn, however if this is a one of job...

if you mix with water the compound will fail. You are using a compound that needs to be mixed with latex. If you want a compound that requires water then you need a water based compound. The compounds are developed to work with certain additives. You are not using sand and cement...

No. The additive (latex i presume) is the correct ratio for the compound. Adding or removing any will change the compounds strength and how it flows. It has nothing to do with the thickness. If you was to only do a half mix you need to weigh the compound and latex so you end with the...

Different brands etc dont matter. You as the installer has to test and decide if what ever the subfloor is or has on it is suitable to have a smoothing compound laid. So dont worry about mixing compounds. What you should worry about is that the , what ever compound you use over the top has...

Thanks RF, a simple straight to the point answer. Its hard to get one of them around here of late :D Thanks again.

Hi, just about to purchase some thermostat controlled plugs. The heaters i will use will be 3000w as a temporary thing while proper heating is installed. However i will use these thermostatic controlled plugs else where when they are finished powering the 3000w heaters. (will be used on low...

Thankyou, so i guess i can round it off to 50p a hour. Does the gas price sound correct at 48p per litre? (tank hire on top)

Hi all, I have a quote for a new heating system in a industrial unit. Can someone help work out costs as i dont under stand. It will run on LPG. Im told the LPG gas costs 48p per litre. The heater spec says it uses 0.51Kg/h (22kw heater) Does the above sound correct? Can...

No, but warehouse space needs to be maintained at a different temperature to other areas. I need it to always be above 12c but below 18c as a average 7 days a week. The heat loss was done by myself using online calc's i could find. I have asked everyone who has been to quote so far if they...

Really ? i have been advised away from oil? Been told on here that oil can be a issue if a spill as i will be liable. Also it gets stolen and also costs more than LPG? To be fair i was originally looking at oil. Also i cant find any plumbers local that will do a oil install. I have...

I have a tank thanks. Cost was for pipe etc to connect boiler to it (5 meters away and i think £500 i allowed was o.k ? ) We have not decided yet tho if going oil or LPG. The LPG tank i understand will be supplied and installed buy calor. The fitting of what ever tank used is not...

No offense taken, you have pointed out a few things that need to be considered. Thanks Im working off the quote i have and what was discussed. The 20k quote i had is very wrong by the sounds. Hence im glad i asked on here rather that going a head with it with out other quotes. Thanks...

do me a favour, dont bother posting in this thread please. Its a DIY forum and im asking for help. I have offered out my number in this post and a old one asking for people to quote. I dont want to fit the system. but while im stuck getting people to quote and i need this sorting (plumbers...

no, they are simply rads that turn a fan on that is mounted to the rear when they get warm. I presume they are more designed to heat one are to a certain temp, i want to separate 3 areas and have 3 different temps in the 3 areas (this is what most plumbers cant work out how to do. Hence i sat...
