noseall Thanks for your responses so far. Do you know of anyone reliable in the Wolverhampton area that would complete this job ? Which brand of tile vent terminal ? Roughly how much would you expect to pay to get someone in to complete the job ? I tried to PM you to ask the...

Cheers for the response noseall, I was hoping to come up with a resolution I could install myself. Would I be able to take the 100mm flexi hose from the light ot the fan and then from the fan convert to a flat duct just beofre I vent through the soffitt so I have a retangular vent to the...

Hi all Apologies if this is the wong forum for my question. I recently purchased a Xpelair extractor fan for my bathroom which has 100mm flexible ducting. The duct goes into the loft and the plan was to exctract through the soffit. The problem I have is the flexible hose is 100mm and...

Cheers gas4you, it would be loads bertter if I could find a radiator that looked the same as all the other Myson Premier HE rads that I have, instead of messing around with valve extensions.

Thanks for the reply Tom. I'm not going to do this myself but have to supply all the parts for the plumber. I mentioned them to him and he just said call me when you have all the parts and I'll fit the radiator. What plumbing shops are out there ?

Hi all I need to replace one of the radiators in my house but Myson don't do a Premier HE in the size I am looking for. My old radiator (20+ years old) was: 1605 x 600 and the nearest Myson I can get is: 1556 x 600 I have been told I can get valve extensions in various sizes to...

Only asked as I'm over in Wolverhampton. Thanks for all your help I'll start there then. We've ripped the house apart and started again and were coming to an end now and just wanted to make sure the final bit is done as well as the rest of the house.

When the lad came to look over the floor he said he would be using something that dries rock solid to fill in the inch section where the fireplace used to be and then the Ardex SDT to level out the surface as the skim only needs to be a few mm thick. The flooring I purchased is Kahrs which is...

Matty Could I just clarify the steps I should take ? - Treat the section with no DPC with a liquid DPC. - Fill in the sections of floor where the fireplace used to be with and then level off with the ARDEX SDT. - Put down a damp proof membrane and then the underlay for the wooden...

Matty The guy who is levelling the floor so we get a perfect finish for the wood flooring said he was going to use Ardex SDT. Is this the kind of thing he should be using as it does seem very expensive even with the trade discount he said he gets. Thanks.

The whole floor is concrete and has a section about an inch deep where the fireplace used to be. Whoever did the repair once the fireplace was taken out didn't bother putting any DPC down and just filled it with a concrete/sand mix which had just crumbled over time. Once we opened the fireplace...

Apologies for hijacking your thread but I'm also looking for an answer to this question. The house was built in 1951 and had the fireplace removed before we bought the house. When we took up the carpets the sand/cement mix that was used to fill the space that the fireplace left behind came...

Hi back again. Had someone look at the floor last night for the preparation stage and they are talking about using Ardex SD-T. Has anyone used this to get a level floor before fitting the flooring ? Thanks in advance.

Hi I need some assistance. Purchased some Kahrs Engineered Wood Flooring to fit in the downstairs of my house. The house was built in 1951 and has concrete floors, but in the back room I had a problem with damp as the patio doors were wooden and water was getting in when we had heavy rain...
