I've had a chimney breast and hearth removed, resulting in what you can see on my uploaded pic. I'd like Quick-step laminate fitted on top of floorboards, but need to sort this bit of floor out and not really sure what to do, appreciate your opinions :) Obviously I can fit 2 small pieces of...

Thanks Richard, I have overboarded with WBP ply already. The tray is not heavy so I guess unlikely to be stone resin. I just figured some brands of Silicone were better than others, no worries. I'll watch out for stress points :wink:

Hi Richard, can I hijack my own thread to ask another question? I'm going to fit a new low-profile shower tray soon and the instructions say to use silicone based adhesive for fixing. Can you recommend the best product for this? Many thanks

Will do! :wink:

Brilliant thanks so much Richard :D Can I pick your brain further and ask another question: I'm going to plasterboard my kitchen extension soon and am worried about adequate support for the cupboards whilst avoiding cracks in plaster. The blockwork is Thermalite - which is soft and...

It's a conventional bath/shower room. To be honest I'm planning just a small tiled area above the sink, and all over the sides of the bath. I'll have to make a wooden frame for the bath, but not sure what to cover it with - is aquapanel the best stuff? For the shower cubicle itself I'll be using...

Thanks for the excellent advice Richard - but presumably I will have to tile on the plaster skim if I'm having both paint and splashback tiles on the same wall? If I read your post right, would you recommend: MB --> BAL WP1 (wet areas) and Thistlebond (other areas) --> Plaster skim -->...

Hi, I'm due to start my bathroom rennovation soon. I plan on using Moisture Boards for the walls, plaster skim, paint the majority and tile splashback areas. I have three Questions: 1. Do I prime the plasterboard before skimming? If so, do I use BAL WPL coating, PVA or something else...

Thansk for the advice chaps! :)

Wondering if anyone has ever used ready made up doorsets where the doors come pre-fitted in their linings? I'm thinking of installing these doorsets last - after plasterboard/skim has gone on. I've found two possibles: Premdor SpeedSet Plus Jen-Weld ReadyFit Looks easy enough, though I...

Thanks to all for replying in this thread. I think Spongey's idea for renovating plaster is the best one for the inner cavity walls, then dot and dab for any other interior walls. Spongey, what product do you use? My concern with sand/cement is that it's not breatheable.

Thanks for the very informative post Richard, a few furthers Qs if I may. Just out of interest, why do you prefer float & set rather than dot & dab? I'd like to reduce heat loss but in terms of insulated plasterboards, there are quite a few products out there, with prices varying...

Hi all, Just bought our first house - a 1930's semi - in need of renovation. A lot of the (original) plaster is crumbling off in quite a few places - see pic below of gable end wall. There doesn't appear to be any damp issues in the house (touch wood), the plaster seems dry enough - just...

Woops - sorry posted in wrong forum.

What's the name of the lighting control system, is it Hamilton Digital Mercury by any chance? Also you should check out this thread: http://www.avforums.com/forums/home-automation-lighting-security-heating-cooling/1026016-remote-controlled-dimmable-led-downlighters-wise-foolish.html
