Hi all We finally got it together to do a renovation build and the bathrooms are boarded out with water-resistant boards - and the builder has skimmed them, which I was not expecting. But funds are running out and I intend to finish the bathrooms myself. How best to prepare the shower area for a...

Son wants wood-effect tiles all the way from the front door to the back. Concrete on all floors - but levels vary falling away to the back. He's asked to insulate the floors with insulation board throughout - probably 10mm. Given that we have enough height for the thickness - how best to level...

There are ragged and broken fibre / plastic tiles down . Assessment indicates probably contain asbestos. The variation in hight between rooms is probably 6" back to front.

He's got tiles that look like wooden planks. Why I have no idea - his floor!

Hi - some four bathrooms down and feeling pretty confident. So - now my son wants me to level his entire ground floor with varying thicknesses of marmox boards 6mm - 20mm to insulate a bit and to cover existing and incomplete "rubber" tiles - which are possibly containing asbestos so I'd rather...

There's no urgent need, but we think that it might be good to install a movable screen to limit the spread of water from the shower to mainly the tray area. Can we install a folding...

Cold and wet here at the moment!

This is to be internal. 3.5 would be for outside as I understand it.

I'm going to have to do some repointing with NHL 2 mortar putty as it happens - which will be an interesting new experience ...

Here is a non-standard problem. What would you do with a 2" gap between the SIDE of a BIG stone fireplace, and where a new stud partition wall had to go. Too small a gap to use a board. To0 big a gap for any filling. Too irregular (because of stones, to just insert a fillet of wood (unless...

Renovating a 17th Century Mill Cottage. Reasonable DIY skills and ready to learn more.

What would you use for the scrim - would it be like plasterboard scrim, please.

I am an experienced DIYer and "finishing off" after a builder! We cut through the solid stone wall to install patio doors with an existing slate floor in situ The builder has laid DPC and put self level down in the threshold voids created. I have cut out damaged slates and levelled the floor...

Thin screed over an uncertain base.

Afraid not - that would be too easy - it's going to be me - the money for builders has run out. I've tiled a few "good" areas and new areas, with no real trouble.
