Hi I am looking to install porcelain tiles in a bathroom with wet underfloor heating. The ufh has been commissioned. The floor is a liquid screed and the Laitance has been removed. Can I tile straight on to the floor and using a primer or should I an uncoupling membrane like Schlüter-DITRA...

Thanks for your response. I am not saying it is not suitable, if its a standard up and down the country then im sure it is. Ive just read a few horror stories and thought battening seems more secure, but im sure just like with most things if its done properly there will be no issues. You're...

Hi All, I know this topic has probably been covered a million times and ive read some forums posts, but wanted to ask some Qs more related to my project. I have just had a new extension built and was planning to dot and dab the walls but after reading posts from this forum and other places...

yes insulation tape, I was thinking of maybe some bigger gaps that might need filling. so perhaps I can use the pir boards for the majority(95%) and where there are some gaps where the boards might not go, i can put in some the mineral wool mentioned by John. Think this would be sufficient?

Thanks, this is really useful. Last question, i think lol. Sealing the gaps, with expanding foam? or is there something else i can use.

Thanks for your answer woody. Do you know what would be the best thickness for the Insulation board, ive read some bits online that suggest 100mm rock wool, would i need 100mm board too? or could i get away with a smaller size? or perhaps need thicker?

Hi I have underfloor heating pipes installed in between joists for first floor. Wonder what anyone has used in the past for insulation between joists? Rock wool or Celotex boards? or any other insulation. Realise the celotex route will be more expensive. Thanks in advice.

Was planning to tape the boards together anyway. Thanks

Hi all, I have a block and beam floor and about to lay my insulation (100mm) before the screed is pumped in. Probably a silly question but want to be sure. I have some spare 50mm boards. Will it be ok for me to lay 2 x 50mm boards instead of 1 x 100mm? does it make any difference?

Hi, Im sure I am not the first one to come across this issue but i couldnt really find anything else when searching the forum. Currently having my extension built, I have a location for my underfloor heating manifold. I have a stud wall what which i need to place on top of the pipes. First...

Has anyone got any experience with the CIL process. Reading online I am getting mixed information. I am adding a 2 story extension to my house which is over 100sqm, I have submitted form 9(self build extension exemption) to the authority, once my exemption has been approved, I will submit form...

In the process of planning out my extension and was thinking about making it a smart home, its a sizable extension which is pushing me this way. I know an electrician that can run the wires for me, my only concern is selecting all the right parts needed for my set up and and configuring the...

@TicTac I just reached out to a couple of companies to get a trenchless install. So lets see what price they come in at. I am in the east midlands, I dont think i have ever seen a Clancy Docwra van before. @muggles, it was the plumber that did all the testing. I dont have the tool to test the...

Outside tap was measure with both kitchen tap on and off. Both gave a similar reading around 2.2 bar. I currently have a combi boiler, both plumbers I spoke to said they wouldnt recommend keeping the combi with unvented system.

Bit of a back story; I am planning an extension to my property and adding in a couple of showers. Currently have a combi boiler; and the usual story of not being able to open a tap while someone is in the shower due to pressure. I want to be able to run 2 showers at the same time without losing...
