Hi all, I'm looking at slabbing an area of my garden and then sticking a cabin on top. I have a large amount of old slabs and some other rubble/hardcore. If i smash up all the old slabs, will this be a suitable sub base for the slabs? Thanks

Thanks, I wasn't sure if there was a particular filler that anybody would recommend. I bought this: https://www.diy.com/departments/make-good-no-tape-plasterboard-jointing-filling-finishing-powder-compound-10kg/1824955_BQ.prd Will that be all good?

Hi Ken, thanks for replying. That is good to hear, I put the plasterboard up yesterday but realised that the corner gap was too big for the bead to have anything to stick to! Is there anything in particular you would recommend me filling that corner in with so I can put the beading in? Thanks

That does look much nicer than the plastic looking one i saw for £7. Think i'll get that one instead, thanks again!

Perfect, thanks for your help. They have them cheap in Wickes (£7) so i'll get one on the weekend and get it fitted. Cheers

Thanks for your reply. So presumably would I mount the hopper to the wall, connect the bathroom pipes into the hopper, and then fit a new plastic pipe from the hopper to the drain? Cheers

Hi all, DIY newbie here. The outdoor pipe that my bathroom drainage connects into is very rusty and corroded and needs replacing. the bathroom internal waste pipes connect into some hexagon shaped pot thing which then goes into the corroded pipe and into the drain. I want to rip all this out...
