Sorry it took so long to come back, Thanks for your reply Gteuk I am now ready to tile and will prime and fix.

Because I didn't think it was a good idea to tile onto paint as your bond is only as good as the paint to the board

Hi Wondering if someone in the trade could help with my question? I have removed the paint from the plasterboard in my bathroom ( dry area ) and it came off quite easy in big strips like wallpaper. It also took the grey paper off the plasterboard leaving brown paper and what appears to be glue...

Cheers

About 2 - 3 feet

Thanks

You've lost me?

Thanks for your help I'll crack on and get it replaced.

Sorry one last question... I will be using grey coloured soil pipe above ground, do I need to change to brown for the last 2 feet or so or will grey be ok throughout. Thanks

Thanks Hugh, will do as you have advised and replace like for like. Would you know if it is ok the bore another hole 2 feet above an existing hole in the wall without any structural consequences? Cheers

Thanks for your reply Hugh. The existing clay pipes going to the chamber are also leaking and distorted due to the builders rubble that was thrown in as back fill... therefore would you know how I would connect to the concrete chamber with plastic pipe. The old set of clay pipes has an...

Hi, I have found that the clay soil pipe under the concrete floor is broken in numerous places and needs replacing. The problem I have is the toilet is 6 feet from external wall which would mean digging up the concrete floor which I don't really want to do... I was wondering if I could move the...

Thanks for the speedy reply Tony I will fill the space with 50mm celotex cover with 25mm celotex then 12.5 vapour check plasterboard. Just going back to previous post will I be ok putting the quilt up against the purlin then 25mm celotex then 12.5 vapour check plasterboard Thank you Steve

I want to put 50mm between the stud then 25mm over stud and 50mm making it 75mm in total my concern is do I need an air gap. I can't put anymore studding on as it would come over the window Thanks Steve

Thanks for the reply would i be ok sticking the quilt to the purlin which runs across the back of the stud work? Also, would you know if the cheek would be ok with no air gap or should I leave 25mm air then 25mm celotex in the stud then 25mm over stud then vc pb Thanks Steve

I am in the process of insulating my dormer, the cheeks consist of tile - felt ( I don't know if it is breathable - is there a way of finding out?) - thin covering of wool insulation - then stud 50mm deep. I would appreciate advice on the triangle bit of the cheek It is 50mm deep and I would...

Hi again I broke through the plasterboard in one of my upper rooms with the intention of installing insulation over the whole loft space then sealing it again and that will be that... I was pleasantly surprised to see how much space there was up there and not that cold. With a better...

Ditto on costs Thanks for the reply I'll go with what's I've got.

Thanks jeds I will crack on and insulate all upper rooms Sorry one other thing I am insulating the dormer roof at present and the gap along the rafters varies between 95-100 mm which means when I insert 50mm insulation board the air gap will be 45-50 mm is this considered acceptable...

Thanks I was confused by the insulation on top of the rafters and everything else open to the elements. So If I ignore the eaves for now and insulate all the upper room ceilings and stud walls including dormer I can come back to the roof space later and work out if I want to make it warm or...
