@saveasteading Thanks for the advice. Will be fitting this myself so need as much help as possible, seen quite a few videos now so hope this will help. @Temp yeah the 90mm waste connects to the 110mm, yes probably gerberit. Not started this stud wall yet and I think we are going to buy the frame and fit it as we build wall. @Dave Jones Would love to know which make you are referring to being a lot cheaper than geberit, could be interested as long as quality, reliability and ease of fitting are not compromised. Regards. James

@Dave Jones I might connect the waste from top toilet once fitted as it might be easier to get waste in before stud walls. The downstairs toilet wall will be left until FFL is complete, both toilets are going against block work so timber stud walls are being built to house the frames. So will it be best to buy the frame and build studs round it, has anyone got pics of these builds?

I’m going to have two wall hung toilets fitted into a couple of walls I’m going to be building I’ve seen a few videos and read a little but still unsure. I’m hoping someone on here can clear a few things up. Which ones have you all bought and fitted and what was the reasoning, there seem to be so many to choose from so confused. Thought about purchasing two and building them in as I go, is this necessary? I think only issue is by the time house is done they’ll be out of warranty, do I have to worry about that? The timber I’m using is 4x2 rough sawn, will the waste fit in this stud space or do I have to bring studs away from block wall and if so best way of fixing to block work for structural strength. These are the two walls they will be going against the one with the two wastes in is the down stairs the other is directly above. Regards. James

If I was you I’d insist in it being neater or it finish a-least past the edge of internal brick edge we had to grind a few to fit them in, if it is not neat and flush you could have issues with cavity closer sealing or even fitting in it it protrudes to much into cavity. Regards. James

Read somewhere your supposed to prime the back of foil plasterboard prior to adhering to wall. Regards. James

@zoothorn, Thanks for this valuable information and taking the time to PM me with details on how to kill this stuff. It’s looking like the jk is on the neighbours side of the hedge so I’m hoping I don’t have to do anything. Last Monday they had someone come from Manchester and we had a quick chat, he didn’t seem to be worried by the small amount that was there and it doesn’t seem to have spread elsewhere (yet) . The neighbours are now waiting for his report to come back and we can see what they are going to be doing about it, I’ll keep you informed of any progress. Regards James

Me too. regards. James

A big thank you for all the great advice, I’ve decided to go with a Makita twin set. It was a little more expensive than I wanted to pay but thought Id up the spec slightly and go for the brushless. As much as I’d of liked to of used the nailer for ease I just don’t think I’d of got the use from it as much aS I will the Makita pair. Regards. James

@Nickfromwales Thanks for the advice, don't think budget will stretch to an oil impulse range but this looks a good deal £206.49, will batteries fit both? have you had any dealings with bosch and if so could you offer any advice on the comparison of this deal on screwfix to the one you have found. https://www.screwfix.com/p/bosch-0615990m53-18v-4-0ah-li-ion-coolpack-cordless-twin-pack/409ky for £179 Regards James

I've never owned one, my bosch drill driver now just stops when trying to put large screws in, have been looking at the twin packs. Are some brands more noisy than others? As I think id like that extra torque. Regards James

@joe90 Thanks for the links, think there’s 10%off at the moment so I’ll have a better look later, think I have that hammer already so half way there? so don’t you recommend a impact driver over a drill driver or is it not necessary. Regards James Also maybe a silly question but what size nails would be suitable for 47x95 timbers?

@joe90 Don't suppose there's anything wrong with hammer and nails never gave it a thought. was thinking on the lines of a battery nailer not gas. My bosch drill driver is on its last legs and struggles with the 100mm screws, so could do with a new drill/impact driver anyway. But hammer and nails I will consider as I'm a tight get and this does sound cheaper. Regards James

@joe90 I have been looking today and not found one anywhere, was thinking of buying new but not sure if the return would still be the same( not keen on buying second hand as not to sure what id be getting quality wise). @Nickfromwales Never used one before so it would be trial and error (seen a few clips and don't think id struggle with one) and I know what a pig they are to get back out, pulled a few out of some roof laths before. I think id defiantly get more use from an impact driver but not sure about screwing, I know its not a big job probably less than a 1000 fixings (maths not very good). Regards James

Got around 90 studs to fix to top and bottom plates with noggins and what ever extras we come across along the way. I've been searching around and read a few bits on here, been toying with either hiring for a week, adding an impact driver to my tool kit and screwing everything, or I've read on here some of you buy use and sell, anyone had experience doing this and could maybe offer their advice. Regards James

Thanks for all the great advice, I'm hoping I won't be the one who has to deal with it, but now armed with this knowledge i can maybe offer her some advice on dealing with this stuff. I'll see what they say Monday. Regards James

Got an evolution mitre saw a little while ago from screwfix not to bad, just remember to scribe internal and not mitre. Regards James

No the topsoil was for me, it’s been spread 5m away from where this is growing, it seems like she’s pointing the blame my way. she has already been in touch with specialists who will be visiting on Monday. So I will keep you posted. james

Here’s a clearer photo. The neighbour pointed it out to me this morning, it looks like it’s within their boundary/ their side of the chicken wire. She’s mentioned it could have came in the topsoil I had delivered over 2 months ago.

Just been approached by the neighbours pointing out this plant, she says it Japanese knotweed. she has someone coming to look at it, has anyone had any experience with this type of issue and how did they sort it? Regards. James

So with this there is no need for plaster board? Plaster straight to it. Have you had any experience using this material and have you any links to it, wouldn’t want wrong stuff so many likeness/ copies of things nowadays. Regards. James

Trying to find 12mm celotex near me and in stock not a chance. Been looking at XP’s and other makes of thin foam some on amazon and tile places,as you say anything is going to give it better protection. Regards. James

Was looking at the aerogel but I have six cheeks to do and that stuff is very expensive, was hoping for something a little cheaper.

Anyone ?

Marzipan? I can’t see any difference between the two?

There is a little, wasn’t sure how much ld need to prevent cold bridging. Was thinking some sort of material over the full triangle area to prevent to much heat loss in rooms.
