Roughly 7 feet high.

I'm looking to tile a concrete bathroom floor - what's the best way to insulate it prior to tiling?

I am replacing downlights in a bathroom with proper bathroom downlights. Can anyone tell me what downlights would be a suitable replacement for the following please? Also, are there any restrictions on having a bathroom spotlight above the shower end of an L-Shaped bath?

Not sure if this should be in the tiling forum. I've removed all the tiles and plasterboard from the walls in a downstairs single storey bathroom and have found that the walls have what looks like mould: The walls are dry to touch though but there have been problems with the felt roof in...

Thanks for the responses. What thickness of OSB3 board would you suggest? I was going to use 18mm OSB3 tongue and groove directly above the rafters.

Looking for advice please. I've got a flat roof single storey bathroom that needs a new roof and I've looked at GRP Fibreglass as the route to go down. I also wanted to insulate the flat roof and have read all the advice stating that a warm roof is superior to a cold roof. If the Celotex for the...

Hi, Sorry for the delay but just wanted to thank you for your advice. I ordered the feet for the radiator and all now installed with no worries of it coming off the wall now. Thanks for the advice. Cheers JT

Hi, I need to replace a 600 x 900 K2 double panel double convector radiator and the missus wants a traditional looking column radiator. I can't find anything with those dimensions. Any suggestions?

Thanks for the advice...Is their a rule of thumb for what direction to undo the nuts?

Hi, I tried using the garden tap for the first time in new property and the movement has caused small leaks from a couple of valves. Can you tell me how I stop the leaks please?

Thank you Terry... Its the first time I've used a Drayton TRV so not come across the cap being secured in place by a screw.

Hi all, hoping you can help? I've fitted a Drayton Lockshield Valve to a new radiator pipe prior to installing a new radiator which hasn't arrived yet. However the valve is leaking slightly from the opening, not the nut and olive. How do I turn it completely off? I've tried tightening the cross...

Thanks for the suggestions everyone!

I haven't got any photos of above but the CI pipe is broken above anyway so needs to be removed. The flooding is due to a flat roof adjacent not having proper guttering and a broken downpipe from the house next door leaking onto the flat roof! I like the idea of just taking out the CI pipe and...

If I removed all the old downpipe, could I use something like this to connect the plastic to the drain?

The area near my back door regularly flood with rain water from a plastic downpipe. How can I divert the water into the original cast iron downpipe? Do I need to totally remove the original downpipe first? Is there a way of joining them up? Here's a photo:

Thanks for the replies. I think the movement is due to a structural wall between the rooms below being removed or Nazi bombs during WW2. As the floorboards run under one of the walls it will be too big a job to lift floorboards and add sister joists. I'm thinking of just getting lengths of 2 x 2...
