Our local skip company does plasterboard bags. Since the charges came in at the dumps, so much of this must be going into general waste bins!

Diamond grinding cup with dust extraction ideally would do it, but not a very nice job. Can you lay a thinner floor like LVT?

I had a cheap wet and dry vac from lidl that I got fed up with cleaning the filter on. Could only get paper bags which were rubbish and split. Recently got a Nilfisk Multi II 30T which is so much better. Fabric bags that hold a huge amount and don't lose much suction as they fill. I've had it...

I think the only tile you could use that would be in spec is Forticrete Centurion.

Why do you need Hengst out of interest? I always use Mann filters from eurocarparts.

Do you think that was already present, or has been added? I wasn't able to do too much poking around at the time and don't live near.

I've circled the detail that I can't see how it can be weathered properly with what has currently been done. I can't see what stops water going behind that tile and in to the eaves. The wall below is sopping wet and going green. The silicone perhaps even making this all worse by blocking the...

My parents have had a porch built with a flat roof cut into the existing pitched roof. The walls are damp externally so I took a quick look at the roof and thought it looked rough. The dampest part is to the left of the front door. The builder has come back and squeezed a tube of silicone in...

I did this myself with a small shot glass, certainly made me jump, a bit more than a pop! Took a flush with cleaner and new inhibitor to stop the hydrogen. It was a brand new system which was meant to have been flushed clean already!

Proper finish would be to skim it with plaster. If you add beading on the edge, a small patch like that isn't too hard to have a go at.

Did you see all the examples though? Listening to Laura Kuenssberg, I'm more convinced than ever of her preference to the conservatives.

FYI, I would call them ceiling joists. They aren't there really to act as a floor.

Our structural engineer offered twist straps as an option in this scenario. I preferred to cut some pockets in the ceiling and use joist hangers. But the ceilings getting replaced anyway. If all you want to do is stiffen it up and take the bounce out, then i guess anything will do.

He said he can't disturb the ceiling so how would he get hangers in under the ceiling joists?

I'd go with a strip of plasterboard and foam adhesive.

I generally get my networking gear from https://www.comms-express.com/categories/cat6-cable/

You could do either either. The second option requires a punch down tool which are pretty cheap. Also a cheap cable tester is very handy.

Yes, it was for that reason that I put in 2 x 20mm conduit for each socket when we rewired as agreed with the electrician.

Because the OP is only running conduit for the drops so he can do the chases and make good beforehand. Through the floor/ceiling space it's not going to be in conduit I don't imagine.

True, not as easy, but still goes with space to spare. I put in 2 x 20mm conduit to each socket in my house, overkill really, but made cabling simple.
