i've tried all the kits on the market, and the best i've found much to my supprise is the Plasplugs drillbit available from Tilegiant. The suction pads don't last long but I hold the guides steady and drill slowly. Saw it at the tile and stone show years ago before they went bust

Just to add, not sure what bath panel you are using but if its a fixed size acrylic I tend to tile the floor first, going under the bath edge, then set the bath to the correct height allowing for the acrylic panel. When you say units do you mean vanity units? I tile all the way to the back...

It might not be "hidden" as such as were going for a vaulted roof, so thats what I was worried about, kicking the plasterboard out at the top. I'll look at chopping them in if its an issue when I come to drylining. Thanks Paul

Hi all, Currently our gas metre sits on the side of our detached house and on our land, and is accessible to whoever does the readings as it is not fenced off and is currently part of our "front garden" but sits next to a fence dividing our front from our rear garden. We want to extend...

Hi all, What level would you run cables in a newly vaulted ceiling? The timbers are 200x50, celotex will be going upto 140 with 20mm below the rafters. Would you run the cables above insulation, in the middle or below the rafters between the 20mm insulation and bottom of the rafters...

Hi all, fitting some twisted straps to the wall and rafters on my roof, and where the strap twists and meets the wallplate it pushes away the strap from the blockwork by approx 10-20mm. Is this normal? Do I need to rebate some of the wall plate to get the bend closer to the wall or will I...

Sorry Woody I don't know what its called its the timber that attaches to the wall at the top of a mono pitched roof. The Architects drawings called it a wall plate but you said on another post its not a wall plate. Thanks for giving me all the advice though Woody on the other posts I do...

Hi all, I've got to attach a ridgeboard to an existing wall, and the centre of the timber falls on a mortar joint. Is it ok to use through bolts on the mortar joint, or should I move the holes on the timber? The height of the ridgeboard can't be moved otherwise the pitch of the roof...

Woody, In this case the original plan was to have an open vaulted ceiling with velux's, without a ceiling tie, which the Architect has done the calcs for and has been approved. However, we can't get a 15degree angle on the roof without building round the windows. Why the Architect didnt...
