I have used the mapei anti mound grout, on tumbled marble. it's 5kg to 1 litre of water. But it seems to thick, there was no way I could get it all on the tiles and wipe it down before it starts going off in the bucket should it be a bit thinner? And I gather I could make up smaller Batches but...

Thanks for the advice I do have some of those drill all bits, and I have a set of the arrow heads.

Had a quote today for four bays and a bathroom window £10k!!!!

we have hardwood windows, but a number of the double glazed units are fogged and a couple of the casements need replacing as the previous owner had let ivy grow up. I can get replacement casements made, and can get new glass units made. But are we better of replacing with UPVC? Thanks

It's so boring now I don't bother it's little more than a procession. The drivers are boring as well. Not saying we should go back to the old days of deaths. The halo is just awful. MotoGP is mikes better to watch or touring car.

we have a conservatory that is on its way out, can I convert this to. More solid affair under permitted development? I was thinking of removing the glass walls. And stud walling with insulation, tyvex etc... and fitting a proper roof with either roof lights or a lantern. Can I do this?

Thanks for the help, we are thinking what to do as it's a large chunk of money. And I need to see if it's worth it.

Hi thanks for the info I had a company round today to quote, they suggested a rear dormer with a new gable end that would allow installation of a bathroom as well. Appreciate what you say about all the building regs etc.

I'm asking what the building regs are, I have just read that fself closing fire doors are no longer required as people used to prop them open.

To?

I would like to put a staircase in that leads to a loft room. The room was built before we bought the house, but does not have proper access. To allow me to put in a staircase from the first floor landing I will need a side dormer to give enough head height. I gather I can do this under...

i am about to tile our bathroom floor with travertine tumbled tiles they are about 12mm thick. I have fitted the floor with hardie backer boards and am going to install underfloor heating mat. But this will only cover a section of the floor as you can't run it under the toilet and we are having...

Hi thanks for the help I got hardie backer at £10 a sheet.

Hi sorry I think it's 18mm green board from wickes , the tiles are tumbled travatine.

I want to tile the bathroom floor with travertine, it is a Newley laid 12mm green chipboard I understand I need to over board, do I use ply or tile backer board? If I use ply would 9mm be ok? I understand the backer board is 6mm. Is it worth the extra for tile backer or is it over kill in this...

Thanks for the help

Hi thanks for the advice when you say a bed of silicon, does that mean a tube of it piped over the base? My drain has screw fixings, I was going to fit this via a flexabile fitting with a solvent fit on one end. Thanks for your help.
