Perfect thank you C39. Also, that explanation is a match to what the builder was trying to say. :) The screws @600mm in the middle, they are not the concrete screws? Small self tappers maybe?

the door was custom ordered using the solidor configurater, i included an add on within the 970mm gap because nI was told to by the builder, he said once the inside was platered it would look better from the inside and open better. I could have ordered it without the strip. So glue strip to door?

Hi, The hinge wall is the outside side wall of the house1.5 m away from the front wall. The lock side is a new wall built as part of a porch. Its only 1 metre high as there is a "Flag" window od sorts to the right of the lock side. I would say there isnt a frame in the traditional sense as its...

Hi, We got a Solidor with an add on strip (15mm) the builder recomended an add on strip because of the door location. Question is do we glue the strip to the door before we fit it, or, fit the strip to the wall then the door? My instinct saye we should glue the strip to the door with super...

I am looking to reduce the 3/4 female pipe fitting on the inbox to 15mm pipe Hansgrohe have a part number for their reducer but no specs so I don’t know if it’s BSPT or BSPP. They are £10 each!! but was hoping I could use a pegler 3/4 BSPT to 1/2 BSPP coupler. only £4 from SF. Question is...

So I understand compression fittings are not recommended for voids but I don’t see what else I can use for connecting to the water outlets on the toilet and basin frames. See pic any suggestions welcome

Hi I am fitting a Geberit basin frame. do I fit a 32mm waste and leave a length sticking out of the wall or is there a push fitting I can fix flush to the wall tiles to accept the basin waste trap? Geberit manual is a bit light

Does anyone have any experience with Orion shower tray former? The tray and kit looks similar to the Abacus one but its half the price

Thank you for replying that is good news. I have infilled the joists and plan to prime the plywood before using adhesive to stick down the tray, hopefully I can show in a picture....

Title meant to say Shower Tray Former

Is it possible to stand on a shower tray former, Marmox or Abacus, to continue work on the surrounding walls or should this be avoided? Can I lay a protective plywood over the top maybe?

Catnic original advised over the phone It was their email response that discussed the headroom. I am going to change the window next summer so I can lower the headroom and install a shorter window

Unfortunately the Lintel Catnic recommended is 215mm high and I only have 190mm of headroom. I looked at replacing like for like but new pre-stressed lintels for 3000mm length come in at 215mm high also. Can anyone suggest what I should do? I am thinking worse case scenario is to use a extra...

I called Catnic technical. I found them to be very helpful. They asked a few questions and specified a heavy duty box lintel.

Thank you. Getting someone is the hard part

I have noticed there are some sort of rectangular inserts in the concrete lintel, maybe to fix the curtain tracks? One of the inserts is in the crack line. As a result I am not keen on ignoring the crack now and I am going to replace it. There’s no masonry above the lintel just the wooden...

It’s a time issue. Especially finding a builder at short notice to stick a steel in. Any recommendations in the Walsall area?

Thanks, It doesn't extend to the brick exterior it just holds the wall plate up. I don't see much bowing, the plaster on the front wasn't cracked (so maybe from day one as you said) and the roof tiles that were replaced last year are a third lighter than the old ones so I think I will leave it...

Removing plaster from wall and reveals in bedroom and noticed crack in lintel. The bungalow is a1960s build the lintel is concrete. will it be ok to leave?

I got 25mm plywood for the new bathroom floor to use with a former tray however I think the ply might be too thick??? The level access shower former is 30mm leaving 5mm for the backer board I can only see 6mm backer board available. Is there a size of backer board somewhere that works with...
