    asbestos- is this worth testing

    little late in some respects as I've removed a bathroom ceiling- that said it runs throughout my downstairs most of which still requires renovating. The board itself I'm less concerned about as this does appear to have the appearance of plasterboard (sandwiched in between the outer paper...

    How to fix noggins here....

    Hi all, I'm renovating a small wc/shower room and I've removed the plasterboard on the ceiling (was just easier as I needed to access services etc). I am now in the process of installing some noggins so I can fix the new boards securely. To the right of the room I have a small gap between...

    best way to wire these spotlights

    Sorry to revisit this and appreciate this might be reaching the point where it might be questioned if I understand the basics enough to be fiddling with this- but it is moreso (I think) just double checking I understand correctly and wanting to learn, to do it properly. The female socket states...

    best way to wire these spotlights

    No doubt a stupid question- how do you use the single loop terminal, to next light fitting?

    best way to wire these spotlights

    Ah right yes those look useful- thanks. I take it though that these connectors would all go back to where the old rose was? I'm just thinking it is a lot of connections at one central spot which daisy chaining avoids... Would something like this work, and then I can take the live switch/neutral...

    best way to wire these spotlights

    Hi all. I have a set of 3 spotlights to install (GU10 bulbs) and I was expecting a loop in/loop out type connection to be able to daisy chain them. However, all I have is a terminal block as per photo, for each one. Do I need to wire these all individually from the one location where the...

    Steel shower tray advice

    Have you actually seen this happen with a decent quality steel shower tray or just hypothesising?

    Steel shower tray advice

    ah yes that does look like the ultimate leak free solution. With this one, having redone my measurements I essentially have a choice of 6mm hardie on 2 of the shower niche walls (I will put in loads of extra noggins so centres will be reduced, to make sure it is rigid) into which the tray will...

    Steel shower tray advice

    Right. I thought it was regarded best to have a tray up against the backer boards rather than leave a void, and then tiles which will obviously overhang the tray edge by around 10mm i.e. thickness of tile/adhesive?

    Steel shower tray advice

    Erm...with the matching waste it was 720. Plus no postage to pay obviously so a saving there. I'd best not mention how much our smart toilet was that I'm putting in...

    Steel shower tray advice

    Thanks- I did install a stone resin tray in our other shower room so as you say hopefully the risk is minimal if installed as per manufacturers recommendations etc. That said I went for that steel tray in the end for this project, from a local bathroom shop rather than online which worked out a...

    Steel shower tray advice

    Hi all, I'm looking for a shower tray for our shower room renovation. I stumbled across the reassuringly expensive Bette steel shower trays as they happened to be the dimensions I was after (750 x 750) which would fit perfectly into our existing niche, once I've boarded etc. All other trays...
