Thanks Richard C, very helpful/useful advice. Think I might have to live with an out of level floor as lifting the existing floor & levelling the joists would be quite a major job although it is the ideal way to sort the problem. The builder doing the refurbishment is still on site so I may be...

This has happened due to a house refurbishment that led to the existing joists being kept with new floor boarding put on top. I was thinking of using the minimum amount of adhesive allowable at the highest point & then using thicker adhesive as I tile away from that point. I would probably have...

Thanks for the advice. Much appreciated. The floor is 18mm lower at the door end than at the opposite wall (joists are not level). This would mean that if I installed the tiles level from the highest point (opposite wall), I would end up with them being 18mm(approx) higher by the time I reach...

Hi guys, Can anyone help. I have a metal halide lamp fitting (metal) which is powered via control gear which is 230/240V in & 250V out. This may seem a silly question but should the fitting be earthed back to the control gear? I cant find the appropriate reg in BS7671. Thanks
