What is it?

Wherever something will crack you use a gap or a champher to create a gap where it cracks. Hides the crack in the shadow rather than trying to stop it happening

Laminate is hardly a product designed to last forever. I think we all know we're changing it every 10 years. Buy it the kitchen variety, save the money and stress then do it all again in 10 years. The style will be out of date by then at the least!

Stop bead and shadow gap at newel to plasterboard? Would likely crack otherwise. You could fill shadow gap with flexible caulk see if the looks ok?

+1 to snips

Mine have always been ok straight onto the egger protect flooring which I think is the same as weyrock. whats the theory behind the ditra mat. Is this glued to the flooring then tiled onto?

You just need the black and white plan at 1:200 a3 then you can draw lines on it and shade yourself. Surveyor doesn't need to do that for u

I thought these had already been done by someone or is this an innovation? The integrated units don't look bad anyway. How serviceable and easy to install will these be?

Who's bothered about how much damage the fire brigade do, that's what insurance is for!

1:60 is fine with good workmanship on 110mm. I've just gone 1:80 on a job to keep it low as you say. I've never used solvent weld underground so couldn't comment. If you did ever have a leak though don't forget they repair them from inside the pipe this day and age!

If you're going to test do it in stages. Don't want to put all your drains in and not know where a leak is. I normally just put a Bing in at start and put a bend on where I want to test to. Fill with water. Think you're actually allowed a not insignificant amount of leakage depending on surface area of run. I've never really seen the level drop on PVC systems

Suppose low expansion would be key to it working well. Wouldn't want to come back to a wall for all the boards to be 10mm out at the top! when doing a ribbon bead I genuinely find that the gear fills up the space

Yeh look up egger p5 online OP. Looks like it has been used with right glue aswell. There are 2 types 1 with film as said above but both are waterproof. Give it a good scrape down now. Run your planer or sand any joints which you feel are protruding excessively. I'd of thought it will be ok.

Oh just seen 4 months!

Looks like egger protect to me? your flooring isn't sagging it's your joints swelling. Sand back before carpeting if worried about feeling thru. This egger is garunteed weather proof for about 4 weeks

how do you get foam in heads if you're boarding upto ceiling?

Any ptfe tape or paste? I'm hopeless with plumbing even with that mdpe and those easy fittings which are like mecano

I've seen them closer to new values in good nick. The trick is buying second hand. Have moved mine about 3 times now myself. I suppose this is where I'm seeing the value

Are you kidding the expandastore hold really good money as transport can be diy. I got mine pretty cheap but you try finding a secondhand one. Let alone at a big discount from new

Why are 2 professionals asking the customer how to achieve the customers goal?!

the kitchen in my house has 6"pir, cross bonded and installed reasonably well. Why does the tiled surface feel cold. I know its something to do with relativity BUT I wonder if it would feel cooler with only 4", or 2" of PIR?! I know the science says it shouldn't, but I can't comprehend.

Has anyone seen the door undercut thread on GBF? Just highlights the point Sensus was making

Not something you want to hear at that stage it's going to mess your floor makeup up as ideally you want insulation and screed above this.

Yeh it's called recession. Mate currently building out a site bought around 2010 for less than 10%gdv

I got that loft condensation in a house I built. Exactly like you say customer wasn't happy about their 3tonne of possessions up there getting wet. Was just forming on the north elevation underside of breathable roofing felt and trusses. it was ventilated both sides at eaves level but we went back and put 3/4 vent tiles up high on the cold side and it managed to sort it.
