Hi, hoping somebody with some roofing knowledge can advise me on a problem I have discovered in my loft. Basically I was up there this evening looking for some wood I had left up there for storage and realised that this wood was mouldy and showed signs that water had been dripping on it. I...

Hello, I have a few questions regarding laying some engineered flooring in my kitchen. The construction of the floor is mostly 20mm T + G floorboards, these are pretty flat as ive laid a 2m level across the floor and then tried to push a 2p coin (1.85mm in thickness according to wikipedia)...

Been putting up some lining paper the last few days and I opened a new pack of Solvite today and began mixing it as per its instructions only for loads of lumps to develop in it. They are thick and congealed, I even tried to squeeze some of the larger ones to force it to mix but this just...

Well I lifted the floorboards and unfortunately the end beam has been checked and the floor joists are resting on it and fixed with nails. :( So basically I dont think im happy cutting through this as I feel like I might cause untold damage to the structure of the house. Its just occurred...

Ok that sounds pretty good. This problem all arose from me not doing my homework the first time round (and also missing out and O-ring when reassembling the shower :oops: ) and basically I had to rip down the work I had already done. When I took it down I pulled all the old lath and plaster...

The problem I have is basically the plasterboard comes down to the top edge of the bath (overlapping the bath) and then stops and underneath the bath there is no plasterboard underneath the bath, basically just the studs, old laths, a little bit of old plaster and some ancient insulation. If I...

Got a quick question about tanking. Ive got the Dunlop tanking kit and its instructions are to overlap slightly the shower tray (or in my case the bath) with the tape. Now my question is if you were then to apply tiles over this waterproof membrane and run silicone along the join between the...
