Hi, Super quick question.... I have some green MR plasterboard that will be getting plastered in my bathroom. Can I use Febond SBR as a primer or do I need Febond bluegrit? (I will just be painting over afterwards) Thanks!!!!

Hello LankyPaddy, Quick question about your bathroom fit with Hardiebacker When you used mechanical fixing, did you pre-drill your holes or did you drill afterwards and use washers? Im doing similar to you but worried that if I drill holes big enough to put wall plugs through the screw wont...

Yeah, sorry should have mentioned Im gonna use hardie backer for the shower area. Is it going overboard with dabbing and fixings or is that common? Cheers Roy.

I don't have space for a stud frame, so will be attaching MR plasterboard to half-decent-ish masonry/cement render walls with a board adhesive. But I also want to use mechanical fixing as the tiles I will use are quite heavy. What type do you lot use/prefer or any recommendations for this job...

Hi, I've got 3 walls for my bathroom to board up for new tiles after removing poorly put up tiles (not me!) One will have Hardiebacker only as its a wet wall but is an internal solid wall, the other will have half Hardiebacker and half MR, the other will have just MR, these last two walls are...

Yes I am a DIYer, and can certainly fit a new selector switch or undo a condensation trap without people panicking. AGILE, Im not likely to be messing about with pressure switches or other gas connections. Im just begrudged paying +£80 for somebody to come and do something simple that I can...

Nope, wasnt the chamber unfortunately as it E168 again this morning, but now not seemingly wanting to reset. Anybody know what contacts to bridge that would simulate a reset?

Just opened my condensation chamber and it was full of water and silvery/gray sludge, Im hoping that solves it. Does this fill up quickly or should it be full? Ive only been in this house 18months and never emptied it, so not sure what a normal state the chamber should be in. If this...

Thanks Agile. My apologies, I was supposed to type "Working pressure is between 0.5 and 2.5"....its sits at about 1.0 when cold.

Hi, My combi boiler occasionally (and becoming more frequently) is not lighting for either heating or HW. It can be working fine but normally when Ive noticed, it tries to heat/reheat water, then the H or HW light will come on and the gas will flow, then clicks but fails to light. It...
