Would that not cause damp issues?

Thanks for the advice. I will post a pic up of the roof if that's ok so you could identify it?

Good to hear!!

Hi, I have a soil stack which is being lowered to the floor inside, the top of the stack (vent pipe) exits straight out through my EDPM (I believe it's this as it isn't felt) flat roof. Once the pipe has been lowered I'm going to end up with a hole in the roof which needs to be repaired...

It's a cavity wall

That's what I was thinking, reduce cracking chances

I had a new kitchen window installed recently and I have been left with working out how to get a flat wall. The kitchen is being replaced soon and the soil stack will be lowered pretty much to the ground. The blockwork sits about 12.5mm in from the depth of the lintel. However the wall either...

How about if we use lvt. Then it's floating above

Looking at it again it isn't too bad if we are going over the tiles anyway the floor level across the whole area shouldn't increase too much to the highest point I made. One of the issues I have now come across is the original screed is cracked along where an extension to the rear of the house...

What type of grinder?

The problem is, it's not just a high spot, it;s a high area, so think an area of about 1000mm x 1000mm

I had a chap round, he said that the time I would spend doing that and the dust they may aswell level to the highest point. He said it would raise the overall floor level by about 7mm. What do you think

Existing tiles in kitchen. Dining room floor had parquet. Took that up then screeded. Then self levelled too high.

Maybe 5-7mm in some areas. Dining room is about 3.5m x 3.5m

After being let down by 3 tilers/builders and needing to move on with our kitchen project I decided to try to raise the floor level of our dining room floor to match the kitchen. I didn't go well! The compound was mixed at the correct ratio of water/compound but was thick compared to others I...

So I have had a plumber round to look at this as to be honest I have had so much other work to do in the house I need help. He said that it's hard to see without looking at the whole system but he is saying that the solution of the autobypass would not work, he said the rad has been incorrectly...

That's what I thought, I had been told to use SBR slurry wait til tacky then use the adhesive as normal.

Ended up draining the cold water tank, doesn't take too long but bit of a waste of water.

Crap ones obviously! one's my builder gave me, but they dont fit in the outlets from the cold tank. Yes would get a full bore lever valve but didn't have time to mess around and access is restrictive.

Your right, title worded incorrectly. Didn't mean drain the cylinder, just the cold water tank.
