out of idle curiosity more than anything, why 7.3 on the outer leaf? anyhow here's the u calculator from celotex, I haven't double checked it. U-value Calculator | Online

I'm in need of a tile cutter and looking for recommendations please. It's going to used for various porcelain wall tiles, probably with a depth no greater than 12mm. Mostly 600mm*300mm. We're not planning any tiles with diagonal face cuts. This is going to be a tool I'm going to use over the next few months then sell, so something that would be sought after secondhand would be good. Rubi, Sigma? So many models it's confusing?

I think you’re pretty well covered with advice, but I’d second getting as much tanking done beforehand, for what it’s worth I also covered the floor, any joints that were under the tray too, and all round the keyhole for the waste. Flexible tile adhesive was also used. oh, have an old towel, some wipes nearby, and someone nearby to help wipe down cos tile adhesive sticks like sh*t and gets everywhere you don’t want it too 😂.

For what its worth, pert al pert will form and hold it's own bend, and is pretty robust. I did what JohnMo has suggested above, sleeved in flexible conduit, cheap stuff from toolstation or screwfix I think.

We used plasmor fibolite blocks , don’t seem to be bad blocks to be fair!

or these perhaps. FloPlast Fixings Black 50mm x 2mm 10 Pack - Screwfix

just a thought, I wonder if some black screw caps would look ok.

I use hotukdeals quite a bit and have alerts set up for the yellow and black tools. Good to get alerted when the offers are on.

have you ran a straight edge across the i joists, are they perfectly flat? Mine weren't, out by a few mm here and there. So I ended up cross battening and packing to take out the undulations, this also removes hangers and nail heads from the equation.

Can I ask how you lifted the stairs. I’ve got a steel mono spine and, on my own trying to work out methods to lift and manoeuvre.

That’s interesting, and very nice, you must be pleased and proud of that? It’s nice you’ve incorporated something you chopped down too.

Right, I’ve a thought, but you might not like it…. Can the inner habito section be dismantled? If so, get that out the way so you can get a good access to the block work, then mechanically fix a length of timber to it. Or perhaps a 15mm*25mm angle but flipped inwards so you have the 15mm facing inwards, bond or mechanically fix to the frame. The reveal board when plastered will cover the metal. me, I’d look to my first option. I think @Iceverge may have had solutions for tricky reveals in the past? And @Nickfromwales may have seen a situation like this out in the wild. Sorry for tagging you chaps, this one needs more than my willing head!

Ooh, now…. Wait for the experts to appear, but my initial thoughts would be bonding 25mm angle to the frame top to bottom and using this to fit the reveal board to.

Wonder if one of those magicman outfits could effect a repair on something like this. a quick google and this bod has done something with a cast stone corner block https://magicman.co.uk/examples/

Useful to know. What's the plan going forwards, will you make any changes to the current setup in any way, I wonder if fan coil rads would make any difference to the feel.
