I've watched a few - most seem to be brand new dead square bathrooms where pipes and wonky walls don't complicate it! Can you recommended any? I've been pricing up NoMorePly 22mm and came across Cembloc DryBloc 22mm. Seems to be a similar product but about 20% cheaper - do you know it? Thanks.

That's interesting, is that a common thing or slack cleaning? I've only had experience of one wetroom and never had any issues, save for spraying the tiles from time to time to get rid of iron oxide stains. But then I had to do the same in the bathroom. It was an old airing cupboard and...

Thanks ChrisNason, I'll have a look. jamiesun - thank you for the comprehensive answer, that's really helped. For the floors I think my ideal will be to use NMP with a decoupling membrane then waterproofer. (I recall Ditramat in a previous property and never had a problem). For the...

That's great. Funnily enough I bought an element today to see if it screwed in and it seemed to - not fitted it yet but you've given me confidence that I don't have to shell out the big bucks. Thank you!

Apologies for asking what is asked over and over but when I do a search here, the returned posts are so old that I suspect new products will have overtaken them. I've read a lot of them but there seems to be different approaches and I'm getting a bit confused by what's needed for a bathroom...

Hello I've got one of these radiators below (Milano Elizabeth) and I've looked into converting it to dual fuel so I can put it on in the summer without turning on the CH. Best Heating (where the rad is from) do an 800w heating element (£80) but it means I have to turn it on an off at the...

Thanks again, will check them out (y)

So their 28mm wetroom trays aren't intended to go with the 22mm TG4, they're for use where you're overboarding a 22mm existing floor with their 6mm backerboard.

Thanks yorksbuilder. I've looked on their website and maybe I'm being a bit thick but their trays are 28mm depth so I can't figure out how it would work with their 22mm board. (The trays need underboarding too so my problem with the pipes still exist.) Price wise it looks to be on par with...

Hello Just reading up on wetroom formers, one for the main bathroom and one for an en suite shower room. My plan was to replace the room with 25mm marine ply butting up to the former which would have an underboard as support. But having taken the floorboards up to have a look there are water...

Thanks for the replies Won't be able to do it til Monday, will a sketch do?! The two rigid edges of the ducting make it too big for the space, hence why I wondered if I could reduce the concertina bit and tape it up. I've done a search but can't see what would help, would you mind...

Hello, can anyone help me here. My roofer installed a tile vent with ducting pipe as below and told me just to cut a hole in the plasterboard ceiling when I was read to attach the extractor fan. It turns out that its position is so tight into the eaves that the ducting is squashed and...

Ah okay. Thanks (y)

Hello. I'm doing some renovation on the first floor which will include getting all of the flooring up in the bathroom and some of the floorboards up in other bedrooms. The void is between heated rooms. The water pipes are currently lagged with an old felt wrap and I've read that's not very...

Ah yes. And then there's the local rodents that are going to chew through it anyway. Maybe I should be asking them what tastes better, Anyone using Hep keyless?

Hello Anyone got any recent thoughts on plastic pipes? It seems the professionals prefer copper but I've discounted that due to its lack of flexibility. I've looked back through other threads but they're all quite old and given that manufacturers are always looking to cut their costs I...

Thanks. Any reason why you battened and didn't dot and dab?

Thanks mrrusty, I'm definitely steering clear of cavity wall insulation! Kingspan Technical Desk said 57.5mm would achieve the 0.3 target. Will double check it before I place any order. Thinking ahead - when I come to do the bathroom does it make a sense to have standalone PIR board+12.5mm...

Thanks for the replies. I've watched Charlie's videos, he's obviously relaxed about dot and dab even though he's got a solid wall. Mine is a cavity brick wall which is externally rendered. It has airbricks and judging by the draught coming through the exposed window reveals, it's well...

Hello Was planning to install insulated plasterboard on a couple of external walls, and I had thought dot and dab and some mechanical fixings as back up was the way to go. However I've recently read that unless it's a new build (which it isn't) dot and dab should be avoided as it creates the...
