Thanks. Cus I ain’t got bars of gold to pay plasterers rates these days… It’s in the porch which is barely used and cannot justify the money to get someone to skim it. But want something that looks deliberately textured rather than terrible plaster.

Hi. I’m looking to produce this effect (pics attached) in my porch as the walls are badly plastered. Any ideas on what compound would be best to roll on the wall with a masonry roller and not break off the wall at slightest touch when dry? Was looking at these two options which are available from my local: British Gypsum Gyproc Joint Filler - 12.5kg | Wickes.co.uk https://www.wickes.co.uk/British-Gypsum-Gyproc-Joint-Filler---12-5kg/p/148846 British Gypsum Gyproc Easi Fill 20 Compound - 5kg | Wickes.co.uk https://www.wickes.co.uk/British-Gypsum-Gyproc-Easi-Fill-20-Compound---5kg/p/141939 Thanks in advance!

Thanks all for the responses. 1. Does anyone know the clear span lengths for C16 2x4” (45x95mm) and 2x5” (45x120mm)? Needing to work out how many posts I require for support. 2. How should I secure bearers to the corner posts as the bolts/screws from one bearer will be in the way when trying to secure the second? 3. How should the bearers be joined/secured at a post if they need to be extended? Thanks in advance!

I’m looking to build a 3mx5.7m deck and wondering what is the minimum height of C16 joists I can get away with that will safely support the structure? The reason being, I’d like to keep it as low as possible due to it being the highest point of the garden already. Thanks in advance!

Looking to do it from the crawl space underneath but will need to do it before the new LVT goes down which is very soon. The slabs are a lot more expensive than the roll so out with the budget!

Thanks. Not got the money to do the slabs that’s why I’m looking at fibreglass. This is the cork stuff that was under the laminate - being replaced with 9mm ply and 6mm LVT with a built in underlay. Don’t know if that will make a difference to avoid me having to do the dreaded job?! 😂 I only want to do it if it’s going to make a substantial difference.

I’m looking for recommendations for the best value fibreglass insulation (preferably pre-perforated for joist spacing) that can be used for under floorboards in the crawl space. My floorboards currently have no insulation underneath and the laminate is very cold to walk on. I was looking at this as a potential option but not sure of R value required: https://www.wickes.co.uk/Knauf-Insulation-Space-Bottom-Layer-100mm-Loft-Roll---11-08m2/p/109449# Thanks in advance!

The reason I got these was to keep all the faceplates the same in the house - the range I’ve got doesn’t have the combi options suggested.

Yep, dimmer is for LED and transformer plus strip lights are dimmable. 👍

Not quite. I’ve bought a separate dimmer (for kitchen lights) and separate light switch (for outside light) which I’ll make a new hole for. There’s only one cable coming down. I was expecting two which has flummoxed me.

Wired it up as per instructions and working ok - can you confirm my wiring is correct? (Not a sparky!) Full brightness is halfway on dimmer which is fine unless I need to change that.

LED transformer wiring instructions. I was looking at TRIAC method

Is there a way to connect this to my LED driver? I was wanting to be able to dim the under cabinet lights with it. If not, any solutions??

Is there any way to do it with a separate dimmer switch plate and a separate one way switch plate?

Is there a way to do this using a separate dimmer and a separate one way switch?
