Hi All I have a resin roll top showering bath ready to fully fit on a ceramic tiled bathroom floor. The orginal 30s floor boards have been replaced with WBP, joists are good and I've put noggins where the bath will sit. Tiles are down with flexible adhesive and floor is solid as a rock...

Hi All I'm looking for ideas for a boundary wall/fence between our front drive and the neighbours, fence would be maybe 18 feet long. We're clear on the boundary and wall/fence would only need to be about 3ft high, more of a boundary claim than due to any security concerns. At the moment we...

Hi All Just in the process of tiling my bathroom floor and walls, floorboards have been replaced with WBP and the walls are original plaster. The majority of the plaster seems sound however I do have a few bits behind the bath that are loose and most annoyingly there is a gap at the bottom of...
