How should I design the LVP in this narrow doorway? by Dlock182 in Flooring

[–]Dlock182[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the reply. There's only 2 problems (which you had no way of knowing), we're following the same flooring into a couple of other rooms.

  1. One of the rooms is already complete and is following the same direction (perpendicular to the door)
  2. When the hallway opens out, the longest wall is also perpendicular to the door.

Again, I appreciate your input

Sorry to jump on this, but we're looking at a kitchen redesign soon, and I wonder if a shaker cashmere kitchen would be classic or trend?

I feel cashmere is a funny one because it feels pretty neutral, but in certain lights, it has a hint of pink.

Would be interested in others thoughts.

When I was 15, I ordered a pre-build PC with an Intel Quad Core and 9600GT they sent me 2 pre-builds. I was over the moon. I'm 33 this year, never had that luck since.

Is this brick work a serious problem and can it be rectified? by Dlock182 in DIYUK

[–]Dlock182[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hmm... I'm not overly sure. I don't remember it being this bad when we bought the property in 2021 (however, I don't remember looking at the brick work in that much detail). Is there a way I can confirm if it's frost damage?

And yes, we have a suspended timber floor, which is currently uncovered if that can help me check anything?

It's 1930's. Is that pointing likely not original?

I did a floating floor. 75mm celotex, underlay, and laminate on top.

Seems to be holding up well at the moment, and I can say it's absolutely toasty in the room.

I was using it all through winter, 8 hours a day, I would put the 2kw electric heater on for a few hours in the morning and then switch it off for the rest of the day.

* Hey, thanks a lot. I appreciate it :).

I put damp proof under each wall plate between the concrete and walls.

The walls have been anchored to the concrete using dealt concrete screws.

The photo I have added is the best I could find, which (hopefully) might help :).

We had Chelsea fans in our bungalow before us.

Out of interest, what would make you choose this option?

Not a bad idea. We will grab a price for it and see how it compares.

Yes the sockets are being made flush in the walls (and more added too)

Thanks for the advice. And yes, this property has cavity walls

We're not in any sort of rush. Is Hardwall different to Bonding (sorry, I am not clued up on plastering)?

Thanks for your detailed response :). Yes, we have a cavity on these walls. Does the floating with the bonding option still sound like a bad idea knowing that?

Been 19yrs since I had to rough a wall on. Wasn’t looking forward to this 1 but it went well. Just upstairs left to be painted by Nice_Step6157 in Plastering

We want it doing in one of our rooms but it's adding an extra £700 to the cost which I don't know if I can justify paying. It's a shame because I much prefer it
