Thanks blup, I'll give it a go without the mesh (y)

Hi, I need to fix up this access hole from a recent electrical job I had done. I've got a bag of Gyproc EasiFill 60, but I was wondering if I also needed mesh tape to cover it first or for the size of the hole it is, will the EasiFill on its own be sufficient to patch it up? Thanks RW

Update: I replaced the flexi pipes and ISO valves at the weekend with copper pipe work and the towel radiator now gets roasting hot. The wife is happy - no more cold bathroom. Thanks for the replies!

Thanks for the replies.

Yes there is a slight kink on closer inspection. I'll see if I can fix that.

Fitted by a general builder who did the bathroom refit! What pipes and isolation valves would you recommend?

I've got a problem towel rail in the house and I've been scratching my head what the problem might be. The towel rail only gets luke warm at best and there are no colder or warmer patches on the rail itself. All of the other radiators in the house are roasting. I've checked for an air lock by...

LOL! :D I *knew* I'd get at least one comment on the net curtains! #posh :wink:

Just a note guys to tell you I successfully replaced the ridge felt this weekend, fairly straight forward even for a roofing noob like me. The only thing I could have done better is neater application of felt adhesive - it ran in a few places but I can live with that. I even conquered my...

From what I could see when I got up there to inspect it, the timbers meet at the bottom edges.
