  1. Not a question that I can remember coming up before So I’ll answer my own question Since posting we submitted our Cil exemption request Thankfully The answer is yes You can have to Cil agreements running at the same time
  2. Yes tape the joints Any lumps or. Bumps will soon be flattened by the weight of the screed
  3. Plus 1 Absolutely not optional This is a real problem with private BC LA perhaps stick to the rules to rigidly But at least they do know the rules The water efficiency is something you will have to do before sign off Your as built sign off guy will do this for a very small fee within His or hers report Ours charged us £15
  4. No sorry I mean the foam on the back of the boards needs to be pink Tge others beads mechanical fixing No block work prep needed
  5. They can but would need to be mechanically fixed Gypsum do knockins
  6. As a tilling contractor we work off a maximum of 20 kg per m2 As stated previous Once you get above 18 mil tiles They should be on sand an cement or a backer board
  7. I’m just preparing Our Cil The Cil on our present home runs till May of this year Will this effect the Cil exemption on out next build Due to start imminently
  8. Hardwall shouldn't be applied on areas that are likely to get damp He would have been better with sand and cement waterproofer Or one of the renovating plasters such as limelight Your tiler is half right You probably would have been better with bare moister boards in the bathrooms But the weight rule for tiling doesn’t apply to solid skimmed walls in the same way as boarded walls So unless the tiles are 18 mil plus Tgey will be fine on hardwall
  9. 10 mil is fine
  10. You could always dab insulated pb directly to the wall Not as good as an air gap but easy option
  11. The ones that are pictured where put in for sound While pir stats may look slightly better The rock wool give a tighter fit Behind the gypliner and around the brackets
  12. If you are altering the roof line you won’t get it under permitted development You will probably be quicker re submitting the design
  13. Plus 1 My wife and myself removed 2000 slates of a low building Breaking around 250 in the process Using a towel Scaf at gutter height Using a cherry picker would take days and be expensive to hire If you can do it without much outlay Just your time It would be worth doing Stripping a roof in planners eyes won’t constitute a start
  14. Your best option if you can afford to loose a bit of internal room is Gpyliner with a 50 mil rock wool slab 10 mil off the walls
  15. Perhaps another 100 per year I wonder if PV panels have increased in price recently ?
  16. Most of the above I’d rather be cutting and assembling wardrobes on newly laid chipboard Than trying to keep newly laid carpet from getting damaged
  17. Plus 1 Use the bend that came with the frame
  18. These have been on for four years
  19. You will probably find that the above trades that you intend using to get you to watertight Will recommend plumbers electrician Plasterer etc With a saving of at least 30%
  20. Rocia will either have it or get it in for you The last marble I used was 600 m2 on a Synagog in Manchester Brought in from a quart where Christ walked So I was told I emailed to ask how long my big order would be They told me it was a tiny order As most orders where ten of thousands of m2 s Going to Jewish owned shopping centres in the US Then he told me the Christ thingy AGAIN ? No seriously Rocia bring tiles in from all over the world Massive buying power Almurad and Rocia are both Asian owned Marble has never gone out of fashion with many of there customers Neither will let a potential customer walk out of the door
  21. You just need to careful of the adhesive bleeding through Sealing the backs with a sponge takes about 5 seconds per tile Not worth the risk I’ve laid miles of terrazzo Mostly shopping centers Very easy as the edges are ground down afterwards Then polished No joints
  22. Just received this from our Architect
  23. I used a PU glue and fixed a plastic 50 mil trim to match the frames
  24. Yes and yes Use bagged adhesive and don’t forget to seal the backs of each tile with SBR
  25. Thanks Peter As I’ve said Great spot Thanks for taking the time to look Exactly what this site is all about
