Ok, I Thought if I just used the silver stuff on the rafters there would still be a 4" air gap and there would be gaps at the bottom, as I would be only going half way down. I need to make it less dusty, as it's just the old felt and the wood showing, what to do? Thank you

Hello I have insulated the loft and boarded it out, it's an end terrace with a normal pointed roof, that has (I think you call them) fire break either side. Between the eaves is the normal black felting, quite dusty with a few rips, it's all good and does not leak, it's just it's a little...

Ok I went down the shed B&Q, the only primer they had was for the bitchumen type, they had no primer for the Butyl Flashing. Looked in Trade Point, they just listed Butyl Flashing 150mm wide x 5m, no primer. I drove up the road to Wickes, nothing in there as well. Any links for the...

Thanks guys, I was thinking of some sort of unibond, pva or something for the brick, but ill go get the proper stuff. Cheers.

Hello I fitted some of this (it was from B&Q) about 2 years back, I cant remember the brand, but it was a decent one, it was white on the inside (butyl?) It is from a brick wall to twin wall polycarbonate roof, anyway its come unstuck!!! I fitted it to the wall and it seemed to stick...

Thank you very much.

Just a quick question, I am using Wickes T&G P5 chipboard for the loft. I will be laying it at right angles to the battens, couple of things... 1) is there a best place to start, end wall? hatch? 2) I take it that all ends have to be on a joist, so I just cut it so it sits in the...

Hello the tiles have started to crack so I thought I would pull them up to see what the sub floor is like as I could feel flex. Well it looks like it was built like that from day 1 (12-15 years old) I found chipboard tongue & grove, but there is a setup under this that I have never seen...

This sounds good, would they not need to be done by a router?. I though I could just purchase something. How would just a plain strip fix down please. a lot of planing sanding? Darren

Has anyone got any advise for these measurements please. Darren

I have a small area of 22mm solid unfinished floor at the top of the landing, I now have problems going into the rooms that have laminate in them. I would like to use unfinished oak so I could stain this when I stain the landing floor. Theses are the hight differences. Bed room 14mm...

so its a spray, then the system it looks good. I only need enough for about 8sqm, so I dont know the cost or anything. I like it though the other option is I just forget the oil/wax and go the normal varnish laquer route. I can then use a real dark spirit based stain? what...

Ok, I could not get out the house yesterday, and my dad got a sample for me, from a place in london (Rude!) he said. I have tried 2 coats of the black and given 6 hours in between, its still not black "dark" enough for me. Is there anyway I can purchase the blanchon special parquet wood...

If I needed to get it darker, could I use this http://www.blanchon.com/upload/Aquateinte_2K_EN.pdf first. it looks like one of there current lines. Look quite a good product, looks like I have would have to use there primer between this and the hard wax oil. I think I will get it darker...

Thank you, so this can go right onto sanded back oak? is the primer still needed? Why are the PDF technical sheets saying this? I want it really dark, so I though a black stain first would be good. do you recommend another stain first to get it really black.? Thanks for this...

Hello, I am looking to treat my unfinished flooring and I like the look of there range to get a nice deep black. I like the Hard wax finish, so I have looked at there Hard Wax OIL. I would want to stain or Dye this first, if you look in the application sheet for the above is says this...

can anyone answer the things I have asked. Are the new solo fans a replacement for the old solo 100? can the pipe be joined across to the soils? What are the size of the vents, if it a bird or tree rat, it must be damaged up there? they can normally get in can they? Darren

Thank you, I was going to get some loft stuff, and cover it then just tape it in places. You know it could have been a bird! it was all manky and nasty! how would it get it there! do you think the top might be damaged? Darren
