Apologies for the delayed reply - been away for a while. Thank you for your replies. Crockett - that pdf only describes the size recommendations for waste pipes to the soil stack - not the actual vent pipe itself - a useful document all the same though, thanks. newgasinstaller -...

I have the usual issue of wanting to hide a soil stack ventilation pipe from an en-suite bathroom to make it easier to install a new shower tray. I have been assured by my plumber that it can be done easily but I'm not sure I trust his idea - could an expert offer any advice? The current...

Thanks flooringman, all comments gratefully accepted.

I understand the different mixtures but what I don't understand is in which situation you should use which type. You imply that an acrylic mix should be used where the moisture level is above tolerance. I have been told from other sources that you should use a latex mix when covering an...

Thanks again flooringman. I have contacted F.Ball and found a local suplier. However, I have since spoken to another flooring company and they suggest the most appropriate levelling compound would be an 'acrylic' based compound as it is more hard wearing and provdes better adhesion. I now...

Thanks flooringman. The adhesive is designed to include wood flooring installation according to the description on the can. It was recommended to me by a wood floor installation company so I am fairly confident about its suitability. The bridge example is just an example to show its strength...

woodyoulike, Thanks you for your reply. The adhesive (Polyurethane 40) is apparently used on motorway bridges at the point where expansion and contraction of the concrete is controlled, so I am fairly confident it has sufficient strength and flexibility to withstand the forces of the wood...

I need to re-level a concrete floor on which I shall be laying a solid wood floor. The floor will be glued to the new surface of the concrete using an adhesive called "Polyurethane 40". Does anyone know whether it would be best to use a standard water-based levelling compound, or a latex-based...

Breezer, thank you also for your comments. The new dimmer is digital and has a 2 x 250W rating. The 2 light fittings one of the gangs is to control each have 5 10W G4 halogens making 100W load in total so I think the dimmer should cope. The other is for a standard 60W bulb. The old switch is...

Mapj1, thank you very much for your advice. I can confirm that neither circuit is 2 way. If it will help I will look to take a photo of the current configuration and post it here. Thanks again.

I have just bought a 2-gang 2-way dimmer to replace an existing similar switch. I followed the logical process of noting down the connections to the old dimmer before removing it in order to map them to the terminals on the new dimmer. Unfortunately the symbology is different on the new dimmer...
