Good observation about the reducer and clogging, will think about it.

Brilliant idea, thanks. the branch and 112 bend will work.

Hello again guys I am diverting a 68mm rainwater downpipe to another 68mm one because of a patio. I am using a 50mm waterpipe to connect the two because of space restriction. On one end I put a 90 bend, a 68mm to 50mm reducer and connect the 50mm pipe. Now on the other end I need either a...

Very good idea. Do you mean semi dry screed for the concrete bit? Also can you make self levelling compound less runny such that you mould it a bit?

Revamping this thread. The maximum thickness of the screed will be 20mm and the minimum 2mm. An suggestion as to what is the best way to mix the concrete? Semi dry may not hold well with 2mm. Thanks

Cheers, it seems that they do sell it too, like here. Hopefully I can find the right slope.

Probably make it wet at the end?

Thanks for the tips and I like the trowel. Just wondering if the semi dry screed will hold when it becomes thin towards the timber floor.

Many thanks Doggit. I like your idea of using a wedge. I have three following-up quesions if you don't mind. 1. 1. Do I need to add water to the mix of cement and sand? 2. Can I use any cement or are there some special cement that will work best? 3. Do I use PVA or SBR? Thanks

Hi I am about to put engineering floor in my landing. My landing has been extended a few years ago and as a result the floor is partly timber and a small part concrete (see picture). There is a small slope on the timber flooring but the concrete flooring is level. Since I’m planning to lay the...

Thanks again all. The trap I used is actually a McAlpine bath trap. The Hepvo is an interesting trap -never seen that before. I take it that it will replace the current trap rather than use together with it?

Another question to the decent people on this forum - Do the connection where the chrome pipe meet the white pipe needs to be higher than the top of the bath trap OR it does not matter? Thanks again.

Excellent, thanks all.

Thank for the great advice, will restart as you suggested. Regarding the anti syphon waste unde the sink, do I need to open/loosen the cap on top or will water leak. Thanks.

Hi Guys I gave just installed a new bath and sink, and I have 2 problems. (1) The bath takes ages to drain. (2) When I drain the wash basin, there are gurgling noises in the bath drain and sometimes water even comes out of the bath drain. The waste outlets of the wash basin and bath are both...

Thanks for your advice. It is for the ceiling, it probably won't need wiping that much. Why is breathability important?

Great, thanks. I'll check other shops. What does the Vinyl thingy does? I'm painting on fresh plaster , just finished with the mist coat.

Hi Chaps I'm planning to paint the ceiling Brilliant White. The Dulux Vinyl Matt is more than twice the price of the standard Dulux matt. Is it really worth getting the Vinyl version? What's the difference? The mist coat was with Dulux super matt. Many thanks again. Best Nish

That's very useful, many thanks. Will go for 2 coats as you suggested. Yes the colour is one that you have to mix, they are rarely on promotion I think.

Hello Chaps Just skimmed all my downstairs and looking for some tips to paint the walls. I am planning to use the white Dulux Trade Supermatt paint as mist coat - dilute 1 water to 3 parts of paint. The final paint will be Dulux Mineral Haze 4 (which looks more white than on the screen). I will...
