Hi all, I've laid some Arditex NA over the kitchen floor area (not under cabinets. The area is 4.5m x 1.8m. The top third of the room is totally level. The remainder of the room has a slope, left to right with a max difference of 7mm in an isolated area and 5mm for average. (1mm-7mm left to...

So I changed the carbide blade on the scraper and I've managed to get all the paint off. I'm using BAL Flex Plus, will this primer be good for working over plaster. Hope you can help!

Tried to get the rest off but it’s stuck like “@“@“

Hi All, Tiles are 300x100 ceramic and adhesive is Bal Flex Plus Standard As always, thanks in advance.

EFL/Frodo Thanks a ton for your help. I'll let you know how it goes....

Hi all, I have a 3 gang dimmer which controls 2 sets of LED downlights (9 in total) that are in our galley kitchen and the outside light. I would like to combine the downlights and outside light to a 2 gang architrave switch. I have no requirement for a dimming function and need a slim switch...

Thanks for asking. I've remodelled the kitchen and in doing so have had to move the hob, to the right, by 45mm. I am not in a position to move the existing ducting as it is adjacent to a joist, so I need to connect to it with a slight angle to make up the 45mm. I've read that flexible ducting...

Hi all, I need to move your cooker hood 45mm to one side. I know flex isn't great due to the issues of collecting grease etc, but would a short span be ok as I can't seem to find a rigid connector that will work. Thanks in advance. H

Apologies, just re read my post. Clearly I will use a trim for the top of the splash back, the question is for around the sash window and where the tiles meet the adjacent kitchen unit Thanks all.

Hi all, I'm just finishing up our kitchen install with a metro tile splash back. The tiles are flat 200x100x7 in matt white, grout is Fugabella No4. Is a 6mm trowel the right way to go? S1 Adhesive? Not too fussed about price, more convenience as I'm hoping to finish up asap. Lastly, without...

Thank for the response! can you explain a little bit. Where am I applying the slurry to? Bricks / slab or both. Mixing the SBR in the cement?

Would it be worth applying something a liquid DPM like Synthanpruf to the area where the slab meets the brick? Maybe trying to get in behind the DPM for the length of the wall? Apologies for my amateur ideas, time is short! Thanks again.

1. There is a DPC in the wall, but it's 3 courses high. The slab is level with the DPC on the stone cill, but further along , the DPC is 1 course higher. 2. The floor was down when we moved in. 8 years ago. 3. No room to bring the floor up. Thanks for the help

Anyone?? Any advice is much appreciated

What do you tend to do regarding services, under the units?

Thanks pal. I've just posted in the building forum, but the external wall DPC is a course too low which would have been contributing to any damp. I've also had a plastic sheet sealed on all sides with a cheap digital hygrometer underneath. The reading has only gone from 34 - 36% in 36 hours. I...

Hi All, I'm installing a new kitchen and will be self levelling the concrete slab for tiling (TBD). I've just discovered that the DPC is a course too high and actually sits above the concrete slab. Weirdly the cowboys who did the kitchen previously have also cut away the DPM at the level of the...

So I found out that the current worktop isn't the right size for the Ikea kitchen! Duropal it is.

I was looking into the Kreg tools for a guide, the Dewalt circular saw I've just bought doesn't appear to be compatible with their own rails. Any views on the kreg guides? All the best.

Hey all, Another question here. I've lifted all the floor tiles and adhesive from the floor, but have left some deeper marks where the chisel worked extra hard! The floor has a deviation of about 12mm. Should I use Ardex rapid repair mortar to fill the deep areas, then Ardex NA to level, Ardex...
