ah yes that does look like the ultimate leak free solution. With this one, having redone my measurements I essentially have a choice of 6mm hardie on 2 of the shower niche walls (I will put in loads of extra noggins so centres will be reduced, to make sure it is rigid) into which the tray will...

Right. I thought it was regarded best to have a tray up against the backer boards rather than leave a void, and then tiles which will obviously overhang the tray edge by around 10mm i.e. thickness of tile/adhesive?

Wifes request that we get one!

Erm...with the matching waste it was 720. Plus no postage to pay obviously so a saving there. I'd best not mention how much our smart toilet was that I'm putting in...

Thanks- I did install a stone resin tray in our other shower room so as you say hopefully the risk is minimal if installed as per manufacturers recommendations etc. That said I went for that steel tray in the end for this project, from a local bathroom shop rather than online which worked out a...

Hi all, I'm looking for a shower tray for our shower room renovation. I stumbled across the reassuringly expensive Bette steel shower trays as they happened to be the dimensions I was after (750 x 750) which would fit perfectly into our existing niche, once I've boarded etc. All other trays...

Thanks- it’s a suspended floor

Yes that makes sense. Thanks!

Hi all. I have a google outdoor camera on the outer wall, with the cable coming through the wall to the inside, and then dropping down where the plug socket is. This is replacing an old cctv camera where the cable ran through the mount otherwise I perhaps would have run the new cable externally...

Built into the quote as an added charge and no option to opt out. Here's the blurb from Heatgeek. As you say it is rather off-putting even if the overall charge they propose for all of the work (where it looks like these companies assume they might need to convert to sealed and add cylinder)...

Thanks! The angle lines around the window reveals I was quite pleased with. I think our plasterer quoted me £1600 to board the whole room and skim (me supplying boards) which on reflection was quite good value as this did take a long time- photo only shows half the room and there's another velux...

I guess taping and jointing isn't that commonly used over here so just thought I'd update as might be a useful reference for anyone considering similar. I proceeded as above and used the reinforced tape for all of the corners. This required embedding in the jointing compound, then skimming over...

Definitely agree with you there. Some of the indicative quotes I've received are outrageous. One (from Heatgeek) included a £2000 charge to guarantee their work and a promise that they would come back if the installed equipment was not operating as expected. Call me old school but I'd expect...

We had a similar set up (i.e. gravity fed) and swapped over to an unvented cylinder. Existing HW cylinder moved from airing cupboard to loft, and a few extra bits added such as magnetic filter. 200l tank has been fine for us. 2 adults and 2 kids. We have very good mains pressure and shower...

Thanks- I was thinking something like that but can't picture it looking quite right bearing in mind it is against quite a low height section of board

Hi all, I need to install some skirting in a loft room and as you can see from the photos I have a couple of sections where the edges of the wall already have raised wooden box sections. What are peoples thoughts in terms of how to best finish this? I was thinking of perhaps getting some...

You should definitely be noticing the difference with acoustic glass. We had it installed in one of our previous houses and found it effective. Looking back at old quotes the laminate layer was 6.8 with 4mm inside. I'm sure there was some science behind having the inner and outer panes different...

Not quite sure what you mean by control unit but we have the TP Link Kasa ones. The starter kit has the hub that you need which is just a small plug in device- then you can set up and control all of them individually and set schedules.

It's the google doorbell that we'd be installing. Can I not use the existing outdoor light supply, split this so it still supplies an outdoor light, with a second cable going into an appropriate transformer (which I presume I need to site so I can access it?) and then this supplies the doorbell?

Thanks. I have considered the battery powered ones but hardwired would definitely be our preferred option. The current floodlight is a smart floodlight camera. We'd now just rather have a doorbell camera. I was wondering if there was some way of using this wiring. We would still want some form...
