6 x 2 was priced up at £26 a length today at my local timber merchants , concrete has went really high ,

Self level of you are bothered about height. If it only a few mm the adhesive can deal with it. . . Clear dust the SBR . And use a decent adhesive . Bal or Weber Weber are my preference.

If there is concrete under ply just self level the area to bring you up level. Never use pva

Self level . To get level . If you can change the ply for Hardie backer board. It doesn't expand and contract like ply. Plus ply nowadays is poor quality.

No uses. But the far end drops into a running stream. Got a note from planning this morning. . regarding a tree survey . I have three fair sized sycamore tree and an oak tree in proximity. . so I need to get tree survey . Any idea on cost of such things

Sorry I am not being clear. On the land was a culvert that had been blocked and diverted years previously . However on a map it was still existing. So I was basically told we had to redivert this using 600 twin wall pipe. . so I changed the direction away from where the dwelling should be on the site The fresh air thing is more of a joke as it doesn't take water. But I was made to do it anyway due to it being in map

And the fresh air discharge from this rediversion was into a existing stream . Thanks for the pointers though. I wish I had been on here last year.

..Hi yes probably wasn't clear . There was no water in ditch that I had to redivert . . It was an old stream that was diverted years ago When they built a new housing estate. . But it was still on the map as an existing stream fundamentally I was diverting fresh air. All work was done with a CAR certificate .

what is behind the exisiting tiles , you need to think of weight , plaster takes about 16kg per m2 gyproc about 24 per m2 . double tiling will possibly take you over that , dont overboard existing tiles then tile , unless you can mechanically fix hardie backer to wall . if you do tile over existing tiles , mapie do a primer called ecopirime grip. use that then a powder adhesive like weber set plus or the the likes usually best just to strip out and board again , mostly leaves a better job. hope this helps

Hi new to forum , i am in the process of planning to build a bungalow in scotland , i have been rediverting a dry culvert and clearing land for sepa for last six months hope to get some onfo on random points in near future. I am also a tiler bathroom fitter and have been for last twenty years so i hope i can offer help when needed thanks dave
