tiles

Hi all. Im planning on building a summer house at the bottom of the garden but it’s going to be quite large approx 7m wide x 5m deep. An the wife has now decided that she wants a apex tiled roof on top. I was just wondering would this be possible on a timber frame an if so what timber would be...

Hi, I had my bathroom refurb done including new tiles. Once the bathroom was complete we did not clean the tiles as there was other work happening in the house. We have just got around to cleaning the white tiles, but there are so many marks still visible on the tiles and it looks like trovel...

I'm putting a horned threshold(cill) in the bottom of a new door frame, because there's a step down from the hallway. And I'd like tiles in the hall, to back of cill. Do 330x300 floor tile thicknesses vary much? What is standard grout thickness? I need to set the cill top at the right...

Hi everyone. I recently posted about the flooring in my bathroom. Previous owner states there was some water damage leading to swelling of the floor. I have noticed over the past few months that the swelling is extending, particularly along the seams. I am not very good with DIY, so I am...

I have installed heat spreaderplates between floor joists and installed wet UFH. I took care to stabilise the floor as much as possible with noggins and aluminium roof plate straps adapted to size to hold the joists as an additional measure. I have placed 18mm t&g chipboard P5 flooring on top...

Hi, (Sorry if answered elsewhere - couldn't find it) Short version: Is there some kind of thick underlay which can be used under click vinyl to raise its height to match adjoining tiles? Needs to allow heat transfer from under floor heating and not be too squishy for the vinyl planks. Long...

Hello all, we are re-doing the kitchen, it is in an extension off a terraced Victorian house. The kitchen size will be roughly 2.38m x 6m. I have a couple of challenges coming up, questions underlined. A. the floors of the main building are higher by 18cm than the current kitchen floor (which...

hi, Bought a house with an extension, there is s strong musky smell from one of the rooms I can’t access this from the loft so have had a look at the roof from the outside. Where the extension meets the house there is a large gap in the tiles. The wood board under neath is rotted. Is this an...

Hi. I am nearly ready to start the roof on my extension and just wanted to get the installation clear in my head. I'm fairly confident about installing the wall plate, trusses, strapping and even things like membrane, battens etc. The part i'm trying to get my head around is the detail where...

Bear with me, this is a long story: This the 5th time I've had this work done, and no body seems to know the cause. I have a bath mounted shower, which comes off a bath mixer tap which come from the floor. (THERES NO PIPES IN THE WALL). This was all originally fitted with new tiles after I...

Help or recommendations desperately needed!! I have tiles on my kitchen floor of which some have broken-long story. I decided I wanted to place lino on top of the tiles so I removed the loose broken tiles and cemented the hole left behind. I have since had lino fitted and today I have had to...

Hi I have some tiles missing from my roof, and also some that are de-laminating. The tiles are rosemary clay. I've had a roofer round to quote for the work and he's said that it isn't worth replacing the broken/missing tiles, because in doing the work someone is likely to break or dislodge more...

So we are washing up in the bath because there is no kitchen yet... Was grouting the bathroom wall last night and knocked a mug off the edge of the bath onto the new ungrouted floor tiles! Didn't notice at the time, just thought it was good that the mug didn't break o_O Lovely chip out of one...

I've got my loft dormer rendered instead of tiled as I think its much better in terms of maintenance, Looks and Sound as the wind does cause vertical tiles to move creating a load sound which is less than idea at night when your trying to sleep and the fact the wind can blow them off when strong...

Should these always be tiled?

There are many threads here regarding the installation of eaves protectors. And several videos on line. Just push back a few tile and hey presto! But what happens at the ends of the fascias? They never deal with the ends. One end might be flashed against another wall, and the other end is...

Evening all! This weekend the weather was good so I thought I would get my new Velux installed. It was replacing an old cracked unit, but it is also PVCU and quite some amount bigger. After viewing (many, many times!) a DIY Velux project in the project section by "LoftyAmbitions" I thought I...

Hi we've just had out bathroom floors tiled in porcelain tiles. I'm about to put the toilet back on and the washbasin,tilers mentioned that I'd get away without having to drill the toilet down and washbasin and that silicone will hold it secure? I plan to secure the sink to the wall as it's...

Sorry to ask, but can anybody identify this tile? I want to extend it along the worktop as a splashback but as the kitchen was put in before we moved in, I don't know what tiles they are. It was installed by Wickes so I'm presuming they're fairly standard porcelain tiles used in their kitchen...
