Okay so I've measured it. Pics attached for reference. As you can see, a tiny area, in fact smaller than a VHS on one side!

I'm at work now, and out tonight but I'll pop a tape measure by it tomorrow morning to see if my guess measurements are on or not!

Under those tiles is a possibility it would be lose, but if it is that's the height of one tile, so 100mm and the width there is about 12-1300. The rest of it is sound, tapping it's all good and feels rock solid. Yeah, It does suck having to get all that for such a small area! To put it in...

Must be a funny angle then. The bit that's missing I'd need two bits of plasterboard about the size of a VHS I reckon, actually, smaller tbh. Nice, so for some rough bits left from pulling skirting this should work fine to take those in a bit before skirting is applied - not like it needs to...

Oh and thanks for bearing with me Terry, your advice is much appreciated, tons of other 'life' stuff going on around me at the moment, I'm not usually as useless! Just quite distracted.

Okay cool, I reckon I'll get the Knauff stuff from Wickes, 25kg, lol, I'll not need much. So if it's a 12mm depth I need I'm thinking 9mm plasterboard then the adhesive will add a couple of mm to get me to the correct depth to be level ready to tile. Golf ball sized blobs (I get the 5 blobs on a...

But what do I do about the fact that some of the render is still stuck to the wall, very well. Just cut the plasterboard into as close a shape as I can, then stick it to the wall? Regarding this dot and dab side of things, this is such a small area, we're talking probably 2x plasterboard which...

Ah I see that now I re-read it. Bugger!..... If I can't go down the plaster board route, is there any form of plaster/liquid filler that I can use which I can tile over? I've read on other forums about PVA on top of undercoat but also seems this is not recommended. Such a pain just for 2-3 tiles!

Thanks, Terry, that's a shame. I've looked and yes, you're right. I was actually tossing up between Bonding, Bonding 60 and Undercoat from Thistle. I can see that Bonding and Bonding 60 they say no, don't put tiles on. Undercoat (available from Tool station, yay!), it seems is okay in some...

Dry as a bone. It wouldn't surprise me if it wasn't put on right in the first place. We've learnt a lot of the newer additions in this house had been done on the cheap and don't seem to be super high quality! As taking some other boards off has left some small damage, to be expected, I'm going...

Right so it's amounted to nothing right now. Yawn, no beeping at all today, no neighbour coming round. Wonder if it'll beep up again in another month or something :p Better stop procrastinating and get on figuring how I'm gonna fix up my kitchen wall!

Lol, I'll be sure to tell you lot. Strangely, it's not beeped all day that I can tell (sometimes tricky with a toddler around). Oh and the neighbour is coming round to listen (to nothing!) to see if it's louder here or in her gaf.

Checked all them... I think! I guess for me the puzzle is something which does it for ages, 10 days, stops for ages, like 3 weeks or whatever, then starts up again!! You think if it's something batteries it would just beep then die... This is like some kind of phoenix device!! I contemplated...

Good suggestion Ken! Alas we just have oldskool meters under the stairs :/

This may be a bit of a long story, bear with me...! So about three weeks ago we started to hear a beep in the house, three beeps, with quite long pauses between, which then happened quite regularly, like every 15 mins (but *not * exactly the same time apart). We went on holiday, have some back...

Okay. I guess it's just because you're suggesting to use some random old filler, like ready mixed gap filler or something, which I've often found doesn't set if too deep. Have I understood you correctly?! Thanks!

The floor will go. This is prep for someone to come in and lay an engineered floor, and new skirting. So despite the depth from brick to existing plaster being 12mm you reckon just to almost pack it out with mixed stuff?! That makes me a tad nervous the tiles would fall off no?! Or that the...

Thanks, so just something like this: https://www.wickes.co.uk/British-Gypsum-Thistle-Bonding-Coat-Plaster---25kg/p/220055 I guess the surface might not be as flat to tile if I'm a bit crap at it though! Terry, thanks again, just looking at the powder plasterboard adhesive, guess people don't...
