Yes but just wanted to know feasibility before I begin the process.

Definitely not a hot tub Dazb but I can imagine pots with bamboo, a charcoal bbq and perhaps 8 people when we have a party etc. So U Beams would be overkill then? I might sister the joists just for peace of mind.

Hi Dazb, thanks for your input. So do you think it would be ok to double up with 2 x 6 s. The missus will probably want a couple of planters on there so just want to make certain it's strong enough. I did think about buying a couple of 152 x 89 mm U Beams as belt and braces. What do you think...

I'm in the process of re-roofing my flat roof and was thinking about the possibility of using it as a roof terrace in the future. I've stripped the roof and the current joists are 2 X 6 inches and are 2.45 m in length. The spacing of each joist is 20 inches. Would sistering with the same...

Our original plan was to create a decked area above the flat roof so that we can have a terrace accessed from our kitchen. However, I have been looking at the feasibility of reinforcing the original joists with sister joists. Has anyone got recommendations on grp kits that can withstand...

The walls were plastered and I have taken most of it back to masonry apart from small bit by door. The ground level outside comes up to just below the window as the bathroom is just off the basement. The wall outside is rendered and painted.The mould treatment has cleared up most of the black...

Something like this? https://www.twistfix.co.uk/warm-roof-deck-insulation-fixings-2?uilang&povList=3044&gclid=Cj0KCQjw45_bBRD_ARIsAJ6wUXTCbygqA_KTrWHOeRa0RqIFozipPZdSHwZs_d3QIYyv_pH7_ijrXtEaAt_1EALw_wcB

The video I watched on Youtube states that you do need to insulated between the rafters otherwise you can get thermal bridging at the fascia:

Thanks for the advice on using 11mm OSB3 on the Celotex. How do I fix the Celotex in position? Can I use a grab adhesive? Also, how is the 11mm OSB3 fixed in position on top of the Celotex. Is it OK to use Knauf loft insulation between the rafters because I've got LED downlights in the bathroom...

Would I use 18mm OSB3 tongue and groove above the rafters and above the celotex insulation? Also, as I have downlights in the bathroom, can I use 200mm knauf mineral wall insulation between the rafters instead of celotex and just use the 120mm celotex above the vapour barrier?

I don't think the downlights fitted are supposed to be used in a bathroom. I'd like to fit IP65 downlights but wanted to know what would be easiest to change over based on what is already there.

I've just measured with my laser tool and it's 2.15 m from tiles to ceiling.

Roughly 7 feet high.

I'm looking to tile a concrete bathroom floor - what's the best way to insulate it prior to tiling?

I am replacing downlights in a bathroom with proper bathroom downlights. Can anyone tell me what downlights would be a suitable replacement for the following please? Also, are there any restrictions on having a bathroom spotlight above the shower end of an L-Shaped bath?

Not sure if this should be in the tiling forum. I've removed all the tiles and plasterboard from the walls in a downstairs single storey bathroom and have found that the walls have what looks like mould: The walls are dry to touch though but there have been problems with the felt roof in...

Thanks for the responses. What thickness of OSB3 board would you suggest? I was going to use 18mm OSB3 tongue and groove directly above the rafters.

Looking for advice please. I've got a flat roof single storey bathroom that needs a new roof and I've looked at GRP Fibreglass as the route to go down. I also wanted to insulate the flat roof and have read all the advice stating that a warm roof is superior to a cold roof. If the Celotex for the...

Hi, Sorry for the delay but just wanted to thank you for your advice. I ordered the feet for the radiator and all now installed with no worries of it coming off the wall now. Thanks for the advice. Cheers JT
