This is where I need to put the bath

Hello all, I’ve been tiling the new bathroom, and I’ve made a silly mistake. I’m fitting a bath with an over head shower, and I’ve tiled the area. I stupidly tiled all the way down to the height of the bath, rather than leaving a row off, and fitting the bath, then tiling down to it. Is it a...

Hello all, I've taken the tiles out of the bathroom for a refit, and the wall behind is more of a mess than I was hoping. It's an Edwardian house, and large chunks of horse hair render have fallen off exposing old brickwork. I plan to hack it all back to brickwork, but then what's best? It's...

Hello, I'm wondering if I bought this bath shower mixer tap, does anyone know if I'd be able remove the cradle and shower hose, and connect a rigid riser into the top. How universal are they? I have the taps that match this one on my sink, and would like to have the matching mixer tap for my...

Hello I’m rebuilding old stud walls in my bathroom, which will then be painted. I’m wondering if I need to plaster them, or I can paint straight on tape and jointed moisture resistant plaster board? If so, is there any special compound or tape I need to use? Or is there another way? Thanks

Nice one, thanks very much for that

Thanks very much

Thanks. The structural engineer has seen it, they know the ceiling joists have been removed, and their plan is being followed with regards to the roof and ceiling. I want to avoid shelling out for SE calculations as to which concrete lintel I need to put in, and was hoping someone here could...

This steel is being replaced. Original wooden valley beam is staying

The ceiling joists are not going back in. They were removed to carry out work on the roof as per structural engineer. there are new rafters and steels going up. outside is a stone lintel.

Good morning everyone, I've uncovered a rotten wooden lintel above my windows, and would like some advice on which lintel I need to replace it with. It spans the full width of the room, no breaks, over the top of two windows. It's a solid 9inch brick wall, so this is internal. My plan is to...

Got you, thanks Harry

Yeah, I was just thinking that as there is no moisture coming through, these would really be a just in case. When there was a plasterboard ceiling below the rafters, there was no sign of water damage, no sign of water on the walls

It's not damp on the underside. And now the suns come out, you can see it is evaporating away - the colour of the membrane much lighter and uniform. The darker stains around the valley feel damp on the underside when there is a very heavy rain. I can also feel loose debris through the membrane...

No insulation. There was a Plasterboard ceiling (no insulation) which i took down to replace a rotten wooden lintel above the windows. Having uncovered the rafters, I got a SE in to take a look. I have a plan from him which I'm following, but curious about these water marks. As i said, nothing...

Not sure how useful these are, the best I could do up a ladder holding my phone over the top

Hello, I'm putting some new rafters into an edwardian butterfly roof, on the advice of a structural engineer, and when it rains there appears to be large water marks forming on the membrane. No water is getting through, but in the darkest spots, around the valley, it's starting to feel slightly...
