After completing laying floor tiles I am moving onto the walls. Is the correct way to level the batton on second row of tiles using a spirit level? I have a run off of about 1cm on the longest wall. Cutting 1cm off the subway tile will be noticeable due to the bevel. Can I mark the line for...

After confirming with warmup that no self leveling is required over the mat I decided to tile straigh onto the mat No major issues, buttered the tiles as well to help achieve best coverage :) Im sure it would have been much easier to tile on the self level but due to increase in height and the...

Hi, I'm installing a WC sink combined unit, The current pan connector/soil stack is behind a false wall (in eaves of house) Soil stack is cast iron. Using a standard pan connector on the soil stack will not work as its too far forward of the unit. I have purchased a mcalpine 40mm offset...

Thanks Nige, Ill attempt this is at the weekend

Thanks Lee, I did look at doing that but my marmox does not extend fully under the bath so the self leveling would go everywhere. This would also raise the floor slightly. Warmup state adhestive is fine straight onto the mat, i was going to make the mix a little looser to help to level out,

When testing my new bath i notced a leak comming from the overflow pipe. There is a small hole under 1mm on one of the ribs. Due to the angle of the overflow pipe - its quite long - water enters this pipe when draining he bath/having a shower. If I clip the pipe up so the angle is greater...

I have just replaced old floorboards with 18mm structural ply and 10mm marmox. Ply screwed every 300mm to joists/noggings and marmox bedded in adhesive with screws with big washers every 300 only into the ply (30mm screw) I am about to lay a warmup heating mat and tile over. I usually layout...

I have attached a diagram on what I was going to do to a 6 panel door. Cut along the red line, use router on the two panels - green line and the center piece - may struggle with this as I dont have matching bit for the molding. Remove yellow piece and refit - use dowels from either side...

I have two doors that fit under the staircase for are non standard sizes. They are still rectangular, no funny angles. For one I have managed to cut 2 panels off a 4 panel pine door at the stile, making a 2 panel door at 110cm high. The other is more tricky as the height does not fit in...

Anyone have any experiece of this? Looking online it looks like I need a plastic undercoat first, will this be ok if it gets applied to the MDF as well where then join? Any special paint needed for this, a paint with latex in it as not to flake?

I am about ot order 4 mdf pannels with 2-3mm edge banding (for protection against bumps) for a rolller door project. Is there any problems painting over the ABS/PVC banding? I was looking to paint a colour to match/blend in with the walls, is there a specific paint to use? I am worried...

Its been a while and this still in not done! Two companys and a one man band have been to have a look and quote. Two didnt get back with a quote and one was over £500. I was thinking of sliding doors, remove the skirting and mount to the floor...

Oops, the second picture did not appear properly - I've edited the original post. Is the plasterboard classed as the barrier? I have several access doors in the eaves (with gaps) isnt this the same thing? Im talking about cutting a sheet of mdf the same size of the hole in the wall...

Fotgot to mention, The room has been lined over the plaster so this will need replaced in this area. Could I fix up the plaster in the area and paper round the edges into the hole - would thisd give the corner of the plaster enough protection?

I have made a hole in a platerboard wall that has the eaves on the other side. This hole was made to house a projector - due to the sloping ceiling and the throw of the projector it was best placed in here. (also can hide it). I have still to box out the inside of the hole and fit some...

Ahh, sorry, bedrooms at the far away end of a end of terrace. Walls look to be pritty good, hardly hear the kids through the other side. I'll have to learn to keep it down, last house was a detached, not one complaint.
