Mmm. I thought I put this in the tiling section. Mods, please feel free to move to the relevant section.

Any tips? Does the wbp ply need any prep first?

All sorted. I just added some more studs in the end and boarded around it. Thanks for all your help.

There is already a fault showing on the panel, I assume that happened when the owner removed the head.

No it is not commercial. The premises is a georgian building that was converted into flats many years ago. The head had already been removed prior to my arrival and the wires are exposed. I can mark each wire easily enough and I have taken a couple of photos so I am 100% confident that...

I need to remove/replace a fire alarm sensor so I can plasterboard a ceiling. I'll need to poke the red cables through the new board and reconnect the sensor. Can i just go ahead and remove it? It's the red cable red sensor type. The sensors have resistors inside. Thanks. Dan.[/list]

Thanks for your replies. Now I've had some advice from a handy man I know. He suggests mixing: Five parts Holmsand Half part hydrated lime Half part cement After 24 hours wire brush pointing to roughen surface I'm not sure about the wire brush bit though. Is that right!! I...

Thanks all..

The mortar joints are still quite solid though, they do not crumble easily. Would you still suggest that it could be just a pointing issue?

No it hasn't. Good point. The pointing below the sill does look to be darker ie wetter than the rest doesn't it..

Picture amended. What do you need, a picture of the whole building?

I've got a damp issue. Behind these walls are two patches of damp. One behind the gate post and one behind the wall nearest the the bay window. Does the pointing look okay? Any clues please?

Not an option for this as the cable is bigger than the grout line. Shame.

Bugg*r! Thank you...

The thermostat box has a code that says the sensor is gone so I ordered a new one. When I tested the new one by wiring the new sensor in the heating worked fine again. I just did that to check, I have switched the system off again now. So I'm sure it's the sensor that has broken. Problem...

Hello everyone Any help/suggestions would be greatly appreciated! This underfloor heating system is an electronic system and the temperature sensor under the floor is faulty. Is there any way to repair without lifting the tiles? Can a temperature sensor be mounted outside of the tiles...

Ace answers, thanks chaps..

Thanks Woody. :wink: It is indeed the 'fireback' I am trying to describe. Do they come in different sizes? Also I may need to change the lintel and a few bricks for cosmetic purposes. Bricks have to be fire-bricks? And the lintel? I've been searching the net and I've seen and steel...

As above please. What is the concrete back piece called in a traditional fireplace? I need to replace mine as it is cracked. Thanks. :?:

I've been searching everywhere for these and cannot find them. Been looking for weeks now. :shock: The catch is made from plastic and fit to a timber window frame. The grooves in the catch are to accept a Cockspur type window handle. Can anyone help please?
