Thanks Wayners. Sorry I'm a bit confused as you're saying about putting CT1/polymer underneath but then also saying I could put the tiles all the way under and then mentioning concrete so I'm not really sure what it is that you're suggesting

I have removed nearly all of the old tiles from my kitchen but there are a few shards clinging to the bottom of the external door (uPVC). As far as I can tell the tiles go all the way under the threshold to where the outer uPVC frame meets the threshold. If I cut all the grouting off from where...

Thanks Grinch! But even once I've removed the laths how will I fix two sides of plasterboard onto the one stud in that corner?

The plaster was coming away on this wall so I've stripped it all away. I now want to attach plasterboard but at the corner where the two walls meet the stud is behind the level of the right hand wall. When I come to try to secure the plasterboard, I don't know how I'm going to secure the edges...

Awesome, thank you :)

But what is regular? Searching online most products either seem to be described as an SBR Bond or SBR Admixture

Sorry, is this SBR Bond or Admixture?

Thanks for the advice, much appreciated

I'm doing up a place where there has clearly been some crumbling plaster on brick and it looks like the previous owner has tried to patch it up with a combination of a cut of plasterboard and some of that wall repair gauze, however it's still crumbling and the patch clearly was not up to the...

But that's still an open hole?

Thanks @oldbuffer ! Seems strange that it's not available in any of the more mainstream DIY stores

So I have something like this and currently there is no sink connected so the top part is open. Until I fit the new sink I want to be able to continue to use the dishwasher but I imagine there is potential of some waste coming out through the top. The diameter of the thread inside the connector...

Ah ok, my neighbour has air bricks about a brick height above ground level which come out about a brick height below the ceiling in the cellar, but I don't believe this street is completely level. Wasn't implying you were :) So I guess the question remains as to how the air coming in between...

Thanks for your reply. I'm a little confused...are you saying that air bricks will need to be placed level with the gap between the floor of my ground floor and the ceiling of my cellar? How would the air get into the cellar?

Would that calculation not assume that there is zero ceiling between floors?

I'm living in a house with a cellar which currently doesn't have any air bricks. I want to install some but I have no idea where the cellar wall meets the outside world. Using a masonry drill, I started drilling a hole about two bricks down from the ceiling of my cellar and have got about 30cm...
