Was going to use porcelain tiles, can u put aqua panels direct to floor joists ? Thanks

I am re doing a bathroom that will be tiled. Would it be best to remove the floorboards and replace with 18mm plywood or just screw 6mm ply over the existing floorboards? Thanks

I am installing LVT in a small downstairs shower and toilet room. Under the vinyl tiles will be ply wood. I read even though its suitable for bathroom's water can seep through the joints. Would it be best to water proof the ply wood or leave it. My concern is that if the ply is waterproofed...

Hello I have had a lot of plastering done and applied a 50/50 coat and painted a lot of the walls now. On areas that have darker patches that look like drip marks on the plaster the paint doesnt stick as well so leaves an indentation. The odd one I dont mind but 1 wall has allot so i dont want...

Thanks Pete, I've got light grey blocks also. What sealer did you use? Thanks

Anyone got advise on sealing a newly laid drive? I have been advised to seal it but the sealer must contain polyurethane otherwise it's pointless doing it. Just worried it will spoil the look of the blocks. Any one done it? Thanks

Hello. I have excavated my drive and set up my levels. The top of my drive will sit lower than the foundations of my neighbours retaining wall (which barely has foundations) Any advise on what to do down the side? Thanks Here is a pic.... it has been dug deeper since this was taken

I am after an intruder alarm. 6 pir sensors. Yes it would need to be wireless. Not that bothered about phone/smart tech.

Could anyone recommend an alarm system that a can be fitted buy a competent person? I have never fitted a house alarm but have allot of experience in electrics and engineering. After doing a bit of research I'm thinking about a Texecom Premier Elite 64-W. Does anyone have any other...

I have done an extension and am now doing my drive. I am re doing the drains for my rain water. One of my down pipes from my gutters comes down inbetween my neighbours wall and the side of my house. Due to the foundations I cant dig out to fit a gulley? My drive slopes down away from my house...

I have nearly finished installing new drainage pipes for my rain water prior to having a drive laid. I was going to use the soil that was removed and put it back over the drain pipes (mainly clay) Is this ok or is it better to use MOT type 1?

After further digging .... the 2 gulleys lead into my neighbours drive. He has now told me that they join with his and run into his man hole or a soakaway( he is v old so didnt remember when inasked him before) Like you have noted mine are damaged and cracked. (What worrys me now though is my...

Tbh I am not sure. I didnt even know they did soakaways on 1930 propertys until today. So all I can do is dig and trace the pipes?

Hi the gullet is below as I have dug down for a drive to be fitted. There is concrete around it as I guess that was to protect the clay pipe and gullet. My house is detached J Allround, its interesting what you put as whilst digging to fit fence posts i found a clay drain pipe that went from my...

I have dug my drive up and am trying to work out where the rain water runs? The foul waste all runs to my man hole but I cannot find where the rain water runs as the gully traps are blocked and have wet areas. It's a 1930s house. All the drain pipes are clay. Near the man hole I found a length...

I have dug my trench for a new water main and am going to lay a new drive. The drive slopes upwards towards my house. I need a way for the pipe to enter the house... If I drill at the lowest point above foundation it will be exposed. Can this be done if it is sleeved and insulated? The only...

They use the same parts as Baxi, says it all. Absoloute rubbish.

By warranty.... you mean waiting up to 14 days for them to turn up. I've had a few customers who were offered this ... 1 of which had a young baby. These manufactures do offer this but the service Is awful. All except Baxi, Worcester, Vaillant use sub contractors anyway... most of them are...
