It's only base units I'm fitting. Not sure what a packing baton is, I'm assuming it's similar to a shim?

While trying to fit kitchen units I noticed that the wall is not completely vertical. It's leaning back and losing about 2.5mm for every 100mm up, which is fairly slight but means across the height of a cabinet I'm not flush at the top by about 2cm, which is really annoying. I've seen people get...

Ah, over keen with my reply :D There's a pipe which goes out from my house under the sink and then down to the metal grate of the drain itself. If my wm drain came out at a different point it would just need to travel about a metre to the right and about 50cm down to meet up with where the other...

With pipes...

Thanks Denso. So can it go horizontally straight out through the wall and then down to the drain once outside?

My washing machine is about a metre away from the sink drain and I would have to route pipes around the back of (and also cut through) cabinets in order for it to reach the sink trap. It feels like it would make more sense if I just cut a hole in the external wall behind the WM and have it drain...

Thanks for your reply. However, my question was more aimed at knowing if and when I should choose one of the other options instead of a filler.

Whenever I've been faced with a deep gap or a hole, or exposed brickwork from crumbled plaster I've generally used either expanding foam/mortar/bonding coat to fill up to about the level of the wall and then used a light filler to level with the rest of the wall. I'd previously been under the...

Thanks Wayners. Sorry I'm a bit confused as you're saying about putting CT1/polymer underneath but then also saying I could put the tiles all the way under and then mentioning concrete so I'm not really sure what it is that you're suggesting

I have removed nearly all of the old tiles from my kitchen but there are a few shards clinging to the bottom of the external door (uPVC). As far as I can tell the tiles go all the way under the threshold to where the outer uPVC frame meets the threshold. If I cut all the grouting off from where...

Thanks Grinch! But even once I've removed the laths how will I fix two sides of plasterboard onto the one stud in that corner?

The plaster was coming away on this wall so I've stripped it all away. I now want to attach plasterboard but at the corner where the two walls meet the stud is behind the level of the right hand wall. When I come to try to secure the plasterboard, I don't know how I'm going to secure the edges...

Awesome, thank you :)

But what is regular? Searching online most products either seem to be described as an SBR Bond or SBR Admixture

Sorry, is this SBR Bond or Admixture?

Thanks for the advice, much appreciated

I'm doing up a place where there has clearly been some crumbling plaster on brick and it looks like the previous owner has tried to patch it up with a combination of a cut of plasterboard and some of that wall repair gauze, however it's still crumbling and the patch clearly was not up to the...

Did the trick, thanks

But that's still an open hole?

Thanks @oldbuffer ! Seems strange that it's not available in any of the more mainstream DIY stores
