Thanks for replys I just restarted tiling, as ive been at work. I managed to get some more cutting wheels for the dry cutter, but they dont last long. I should have ignored the missus and got ceramic tiles. As for my wet tile cutter, on the blade it says it is for porcelain and ceramic, but...

Sorry, I was looking for something a bit quicker to cut my tiles with. I have just read my post lol. I will just have to plod along with my wet cutter, its slow but will do the job. :D

Hi All My bath has finally arrived. What tile cutter do I need for 60x30x8mm porcelain tiles. I have tried using my 600 watt Titan electric tile cutter and it took me 20 mins to cut 30cm. I tried my old manual tile cutter i just about got it to score a line but it was near impossible to break...

Hi all I have ordered the adhesive powder to mix myself. I cant wait to get started but the bath that was sent to me is the wrong size I have been waiting for a replacement for over a week now and I feel there just messing me around. A 10mm trowel will be used for applying the adhesive and a...

Hi Terryplumb Yes m8 I am taking the lower pipework into the wall at 150. The missus picked the mixer tap for the bath and it was saying it was 150 centre, thats what confused me, must have been a typo error. Thank You for your helping me out. Best Regards

Hi all The missus has been nagging me for a mixer shower and P bath. Our old bath has the taps under the window, so we had to go for a right hand P bath. This will be on the opposite wall facing, behind the door. My dilemma is plumbing it in and how to go about it, i can solder pipe etc, but...

Hi, I am looking at tiling my bathroom and toilet 22 m2. The tiles are porcelain 30 mm x 600 mm x 10, can any body tell me how much adhesive I will need to fit these tiles to aqua board. Would it be better to mix my own or buy ready made? Thank You

Good information Thanks guys

Thanks Woody Best Regards

Thanks for info Woody but I'm not sure what you mean about cutting on my side. Am I cutting felt vertically on rafter so I can feed my membrane under existing felt to neigbours side onto there rafter or am I nailing new membrane over there felt onto there side. Best Regards

Hi Vinn Thanks for reply. Your correct there felt at the eaves are the same, but they have no leaks yet. I'm not going to touch there tiles I'm just going to remove the first row of my tiles and stop just before there's and hopefully all will be fine. Best regards

Hi all I live in a semi detached house. I had water coming in through bathroom window frame. I lifted eaves tiles and noticed most of the sarking has rotted away causing pooling. I plan to cut back sarking and fix membrane under the existing felt from gable end upto start of neighbours roof...

hi i am plumbing my new kitchen in and have T fittings to join the 15mm copper pipe rather than use the compression type. after i have cleaned the joints and applied flux, do i have to do all the joints at once? thanks

thanks spark123 I agree, safety first. buying all I need today. thanks for your help. regards

thanks spark123 It did state use the correct cable, ie the weatherproof rubber sheathed type and to use plastic conduit to protect cable so i am assume this meant I could use this conduit underground. So if buy the correct cable and fit a 13 amp plug with 3amp fuse and plug it into a socket...

Thanks m8, I just thought if you could use the correct rubber sheathed cable and run it underground in plastic conduit, then i could use the 3 core swa without earthing the armour, because the lamp fitting would be earthed from the socket, also the cable would be harder to damage than the...

Hi i have bought an outdoor 1 metre high lamp for my patio. max 60 watt bulb. I have a garage with a double 13 amp socket for my fridge and tumble drier. I have lost the instructions for the type of cable i need, but it seems its the cable i need is the type my neighbour has on his pond...
