It was all glued. Was cut to the skirting. The 4mm ply boarding was nailed. Found some offcuts to the boarding which were uneven but I think the floorboards had a part to play also. Also a few scratches but likely caused by having to cut the vinyl out on the road and then having to bend slightly...

I have laid screed in the house before and foundations but this is probably 20 to 30 sqr metres. I guess the minimix is the ideal solution. I will be doing all the work. Finish wise. I will just float until until close to going off then perhaps use a textured roller. Im not fully sold but the...

Good website but the pricing is just an excel calculator where I have to input the price per volume so still no idea on whether I have had a good quote or not. Does sound that I could get away with not putting hardcore down though.

Help just paid a contractor £535. £150 for the hardboarding (4mm ply) and £90 for fitting the vinyl. the wife paid him, no puns pls, I got home and can clearly see ridges from underneath. after emailing him pics of the ridges he phoned and said that the floorboards were uneven beneath which...

We are looking to build a concrete patio. We decided on this route as we felt slabs or pavers a pain to remove weeds and possible shifting of levels and stubbed toes. We like the idea of a dyed concrete. I got advice and a quote today and wondered if it was correct and a good price. A minimix...

Well the space is limited as it's in the middle dormer and weight is also an issue as the brackets wouldn't line up properly with the battens behind. I could go for a 400mm double but would still need to cover it up due to nightmare kids. Fan convector sounds good I take it that it uses the...

Recently I installed my own attic room but didn't think through the heating enough. The room measures approx. 3m x 8m and the ceiling slopes in to 2m head height. I have fitted a 400w x 300h mm single panel radiator. I have to be careful what I fit as it is supported on battens that was used as...

Yes that's pretty much what I was looking for only it needs to be 4" T then I can perhaps use bosses for other connections. Thanks

Hello guys I have a soil pipe coming out the ground and have a run of about 2m to my toilet. I was hoping to use a branch connection as I have to attach more waste into this as well as extend up for an aav. I need to get the 90 degree soil connection as low to the ground as possible, do I...

Well it was more about saving electric and it was all for free but I have decided against it, the risk of damage would have been too much and I'm sure solar/wind technology would be better within 10 yrs that would make these things obsolete anyway.

Hello, I'm in a middle of an attic conversion at the moment and just at the stage of adding insulation and I'm also on the verge of having solar panels installed with a survey being done for it next week. Will the installation possibly cause any damage such as leaks, as these would be hard...

Got the feeling I posted this in the wrong area, all sorted now, I know what insulation i'm installing.

I am building an extension to the rear of my property but doing this via a building notice and my bco isn't giving me much info all he has told me so far is that the depth of the footings should be 900mm from ground level. I have decided to use my existing damp proof as a reference point so am...

Thanks for the replys. An air admittance valve wouldn't actually work as the air needs to escape, it's positive pressure. I did test for this by holding over a piece of clingfilm over the top of the pipe when the shower was draining and it bulged out. An air escape valve would work but i...

I hope someone can help I had an existing kitchen, with the sink waste running into an un-vented 40mm stack, this went through a u-bend. the washing machines waste always had trouble when it was above the sink ubend so now it is connected directly to the top of the small stack, all goes well...

We recently decided to make some changes to our 4 bedroom house. We were unable to sell it and the mortgage, although manageable wasn't really getting paid off. It was an inherited house and we re-mortgaged it to pay off siblings and the existing mortgage, we only wanted to do it up and then...

Definately not a bad system, had a combi fitted recently, inhibitor added and have a magnetic spiro thingy inline on return that takes out the rust. Something i did notice though, on the chrome one that works ok the plunger is really springy but the white one don't seem to spring as much...
