:lol: OK thanks for the reply, I think im just going to finish what ive started and say no more. 50mm of Celotex has got to be better than non.

Luckily I have foil taped all the joints. I think im just a bit worried not informing LABC, what are the likely consequences if im found to not comply with regs.

Thank you for the reply. OK I should have been clearer I have left a 25mm gap under the flat roof dormer section with 50mm of Celotex but I am considering converting this roof to sloping in a couple of years. Where I have sloping ceilings the rafters are 100mm and I have used 50mm Celotex...

Hi, Im in a bit of a dilema where I have done some work but didnt notify LABC. The work entailed romoving plasterboard ceilings and upgrading the insulation between the joists (some beneath a flat roof dormer). The problem is that the joists/trusses are only 75mm and so ive fitted 50mm...

Hi, I would like a bit of advice on my boiler please. Its an oil fired Trianco Eurostar 70/80 and has always worked fine. However it has just developed a problem where it wont switch off untill the thermostat limit switch trips. My first thoughts are that the boiler control thermostat has...

Hi, I have a quick question. I have one of these http://www.screwfix.com/p/92-5-87-5-branch-black-sp190/29610# connecting to my toilet. Would it be advisable to connect my waste from the basin to one of the branches. TIA

I will soon be finishing the walls around my fireplace were im going to have a wood burner installed. After reading advice on this forum I have decided to use a lime render to do this, but I have never worked with lime before. So my first question is how do I mix the render (ratios etc) and...

Thanks for the reply, the wall tiles are ceramic 200x300x8mm the floor tiles are slightly larger can't quite remember the exact size. So tanking the floor would be overkill, its not a wet room just fitted with a shower/bath. I think I will just tank the whole area around the bath, and seal...

Hi, im renovating the bathroom in my house and am now at the stage of tiling. Im going to tank the shower/bath area is it advisable to tank the floor aswell or will tiles/waterproof addhesive/grout be sufficient. Also have bought Mapei Aqua defence for this is this much different to Mapegum...

Thanks good tip.

Thanks for the replies I have decided to skim. Ive plasterd walls but never a ceiling but im going to have a crack at it (after a bit of practicing).

OK Thanks so just to reiterate a good coat of Bondit or WBA the day before and then another just before the plaster. Another question, what plaster is advisable for this? was thinking multi.

The artex is in a wave pattern and uniform all over. I don't really want to take the ceiling down however as has been said I don't want it coming down one night when im watching the telly, so boarding over may be an option but i think id prefer to plaster straight onto the artex. decisions...

My lounge has an artex ceiling, is it a good idea to plaster over it? If so what kind of prep work would need to be done? The artex is in good sound condition but its just not my taste. Thanks in advance.

Quote is for labour and all parts.

Have to agree with alarm looks better on the outside, pullcords are just dated now and look naff. I didnt know you could have a switch inside a bathroom.

OK thanks for the rapid reply, I will fill with 75mm and the consider using some 25mm underneath, but obviously the dormer only covers part of the room so it may look a little odd with a step in the ceiling.
