Going to attempt to tile a small kitchen floor over the weekend. I've removed the existing tiles but they have left behind a fair bit of adhesive stuck to the concrete below Do I need to either chisel this all off or cover it with a levelling compound or can I just go ahead and tile -- but...

Cheers, think I'll do that ... perhas using the tile trim I'm using instead of a beading ... should look OK that (hopefully !!)

Here is a photo - unfortunately the worktop is already in so can't get a newer, wider one without great expense . . I'm thinking of a row of tiles butting back to the window frame, possibly slightly sloped forward to aid draining if/when water spills on them

I should have thought of that ! At work at the moment - and thought I'd throw a post up on here before I forgot !

Just had a new kitchen fitted and am having a tiled splashback. Problem I have is that there is a window behind the sink, the bottom of the window frame is just about level with the worktop...if not ever so slightly lower (the sill area looks to have been bulked up with a filler onto which...

Cheers - I certainly won't be doing any of this !! Just want to know wether the cost of a couple of new lights does not go out of control ( I know I will need a certified spark to install and notify too - for a bit more cost)

Cannot get picks on here but... Consumer Unit is a Wylex wiyth an RCD thing on it with 100A 30mA (with the main on/off switvch next to that/) Then there are 4 other Wylex switches -- NSB06 (the light circuit) and 3 * NSB 32 At a guess then the circuit os actually 30mA RCD protected - as...

Current lighting circuit which the bathroom is on is proteced by 6mA RCD I notice that the regs state that bathroom electricals need to be protected by a 30mA RCD Will the existing RCD be OK (since it is more sensitive anyway than the required 30mA - I think ) ?? If I need to mess...

Cheers for the reply Some of the circuit (juntion boxes must be since I cannot find them under the boards I've lifted) is under laminate floors - is this going to cause me a world of pain. Will they ask me to lift the floors to inspect ??

Hi all I am looking to redecorate the bathroom which will involve getting rid of the 4 halogen downlight things and replacing with a couple fittings. I'm aware that since its in the bathroom I will need to inform the local Building Control office OR get an approved spark to do the work for...

Champion !! Cheers

You mean go straight over it with a different colour kitchen and bathroom paint (and not matt emulsion ) ? (Cheers for the reply by the way !!!!)

Had the bathroom replastered, skimmed and then painted using a kitchen and bathroom paint - except that I now want to change the colour !!!! Was thinking of putting a couple of coats of white emulsion over it first to take the colour away before painting the colour I want but I've read on...

Thanks for the reply Yes, the pipes are inside the blockwork course -- EXCEPT part of a brick is missing on the inside wall of the cavity - so that you can put your hand through and touch the external wall of the cavity - i.e. the outside bricks of the house. I souhld havep ayed more...

Anyone? I've already dot and dabbed boards over the pipework without really thinking / paying attention to what had been done - so wanted to know whether I need to be cutting the plasterboard off and fixing the hole somehow.
