Hi all, I wonder if i could have some guidance on the following please I had the walls in one of our bedrooms skimmed back in August so obviously, its completely dry now and ready for painting Just running my hand over the walls, its 99% smooth to the touch but not what i would call...

Thanks for all the advice @opps

sorry @opps ....are you saying there is no need to PVA at all then ? I was just assuming that it would best to apply a diluted PVA mix to at least the cut plasterboard edges, and perhaps the plasterboard fill-in disc to which the Tx110 will adhere to I've got some PVA so its no issue to spend a...

Thanks again @opps Final question….the plasterboard circles that will fill the majority of each hole…should I PVA it and either let it dry or keep tacky, before using the tx110 ?

Thanks again @opps The tx110 gets bucket loads of good reviews and no, no one will be getting near it as as I say I’m filling downlighter holes in the ceiling and a flue hole that’s about 7ft in the air So you don’t think a 150mm diameter hole presents any issues if I keep the depth sensible...

@opps - thanks for the reply if its incredibly soft, is it suitable for ceilings still or would it just drop off, or can you mix to your own consistency ? :unsure:

Hi all, I am about to remove some downlights in my lounge ceiling Additionally, i'm about to have a gas fire removed which will leave a 150mm diameter hole in the wall where the flue exits My plan was to fill each with the correct depth plasterboard and then finish *somehow* Q - Is there a...

Thanks for your input @Madrab Do you happen to know if Danfoss have a TRV with the drain valve built in ?

I’m replacing 3 downstairs radiators so taking the opportunity to give the system a clean also as my tf1 is picking up loads of crap so no inhibitor is in the system

@JohnD how would i include a drain valve with the Danfoss ? From what I can see from screwfix item 49331, it doesn’t like I can unless I’m mistaken My downstairs rads are fed from upstairs as I have concrete floors so needing to drain down ever would be a slow process

You mean Danfoss @JohnD ?

Thanks for the reply @oldbuffer Any thoughts on an alternative TRV please ? I used the Draytons previously and they seemed fine/good but as you described I’ve had a couple recently where the plastic thread has almost disintegrated No biggy but just wanted to see if there was a new kid on the...

Morning all I’ve got a number of radiators that I’m about to change so planning to replace the TRVs also Does anyone have any recommendations for some good TRVs please ? Are the Drayton 4s still respected ? Second question….what’s the latest view on what to use on the threads that go into the...

thanks obnd i'd be lagging it and boarding myself so no danger of trip hazards or crushing

With regard to 1 or 1.5mm wiring for upstairs lighting that is in the loft space, is it ok to span the ~600mm between joists (ie. the shortest route/least cable needed), or does it need to be clipped along the truss/timbers, up to the apex of the loft, along, and then down the closest truss ? I...

thanks for the reply @JohnD although at £164 ex vat, its a bit steep in cost i've been looking on Extractor fan world and they have a Turbo Tube at £76 inc that they offer with a 5 year guarantee with the following credentials so i'm going to give that a shot i think : Technical Data: - Max...

@nitro23456 - thanks for the reply Yeh a mixer bar would be fine and they seem to be 150mm centres too, but all that i can find seem to be wall mounted Now that would be ok providing i can find some straight bath tap legs (i think they are called) but they all appear to be angled, so are...

@ETAF thanks for that link That said, I was hoping for something cheaper and a little bit more modern/mainstream in design as I don’t live in Downton Abbey :LOL:

Thanks @jacko555 although they appear to be wall mounted and I need deck mounting

Hi all, I'm fitting a sink in the garage to bath the dog The sink is an old stainless steel commercial thing with holes drilled on the deck at 150mm centres I've scoured the usual sites (screwfix, TS etc) looking for a bath shower mixer tap, ideally with separate taps (rather than thermostat)...
