I'm installing a bar shower, so far I have put in the hot and cold feeds using JG push fit and then put copper tails on. I have tested for leaks, and have wrapped the copper in insulation tape as I read they can get pitted if just plastered over. I was going to plaster over, tank and then fit...

i have a low level stone resin tray to install. It is on a wooden floor first floor. The floor is green chipboard, screwed down every few inches. The drain is fitted below and routed through a reinforced joist. My question is does the tray need to go on a mortar mix? Or can it go straight on the...

Hi have a 1930 semi, is it worth insulating between the joists as I have the bathroom floor up? It's on the first floor, or would I just be wasting my money doing it? It's going to have green board, then ply and then floor on top, Ta

I am plumbing in a roll top bath that sits on feet. It's a first floor bathroom. I have a chrome waste that loops to go through the floor. The wastes under the floor are solvent fit. The chrome waste comes with a compression fitting to join to the floor waste. How do I join this all up and...

im running bathroom wastes as I'm redoing the bathroom. It's an up stairs bathroom and the sink and bath wastes run into a hopper. The toilet into the soil stack. The old setup had separate sink and bath wastes running out of the wall, I have taken theses out as we are completely re modelling...

please move if in wrong section. I have bought a akw dura form wetroom former. Having looked at the instructions I thought it was a case of underboarding and then placing on top. I assumed the base was flat and the dip for the water to drain was mounded in. But it appear that the be is not...

i am currently refitting our bathroom. I have taken the floor boards up and replaced with 18mm tongue and groove chipboard (green) and have a wet room former to fit. As we are tileing Do I also need to overply? Or can I just use ditra 25 straight over the chipboard? Thanks

Thanks for the info

Thanks for the reply. I'm going to use hammer in fixings, seems to be used by a few.

I have dot and dabbed plasterboard to level the walls in our bathroom to refit it. I have read that if I want to tile I should mechanically fix. But what do I use? I have come across helical nails for insulated plasterboard fixes into brick. Would these do? Or is there anything else? Thanks

Admin please move if in wrong section, thanks I'm refitting our bathroom, and want to install a shower, due to the layout of the window I only have a 74cm at bare brick width allowing a 70cm tray at a push, it's very tight. I have seem shower formers that are used in wet rooms, that would allow...

Hi thanks for the info. On the wet wall (shower) I was going to use the shower sheet stuff that is ply with a waterproof plastic coating. It's only 12mm and allows me to keep the 700mm I need. It would be OK if the window wasn't in the way.

I am redoing our bathroom and need to square the walls up. in the past it has had chipboard put on walls about two thirds up to to level the walls off where tiles were fitted on the bottom third of the wall. I have knocked a wall down to make a larger room and now need to level the walls for...

Thanks for the replies. We have a new fuse box with RCD on all circuits. So I'm proposing that I will run plastic for the Sink, Bath and shower water feeds, I could do copper but the feed in looks like it is plastic so I would have to hunt back for meters and meters to make copper sense, none...

I am in the middle if refitting our bathroom, it's just an empty room now and I need to rerun the pipes. When I took the bath and sink out they were fitted with copper pipe that was earth bonded, but having looked this copper was actually connected to plastic pipe, so did it need bonding? I...

Thanks for the replies. The issue is the deeds say it is not our land but the solicitor could not find any evidence of who does own it. My issue is not so much the attached neighbour using it. But the fact that it is not theirs. And they do not seem to have a right of access over it. They may...

We have bought a semi detached house. Along the side of ours is a path with a gate this goes down the side of house and along rear of our garden. It would appear to allow access to our attached neighbours garden. However when we bought the property the solicitor could not find ownership of the...
